Junior Catastrophe Risk Analyst

Who Are We? Taking care of our customers, our communities and each other. That’s the Travelers Promise. By honoring this commitment, we have maintained our reputation as one of the best property casualty insurers in the industry for over 170 years. Join us to discover a culture that is rooted in innovation and thrives on collaboration. Imagine loving what you do and where you do it.

What Is the Opportunity? At Travelers, we’re in the business of risk – we take the risk so our customers don’t have to, but we don’t like surprises. Our Catastrophe Risk Management team makes sure we understand our exposure and ensures that no loss from natural or man-made catastrophes, across all areas of our business (property and casualty), comes as a surprise. As our new Jr. Analyst, Catastrophe (CAT) Risk, you’ll play a key role in making this happen by ensuring our data is accurate, properly modelled, and brought to life through insightful analytics. You’ll join a diverse, experienced team with strong expertise in catastrophe risk and enjoy excellent opportunities to learn, grow, and progress your career. You’ll be excited by understanding complex processes and modernising them using contemporary techniques and tooling (knowledge of Python, KNIME, Databricks, or equivalent is an advantage), ultimately turning highly complex catastrophe data into actionable insights. This position is ideal for someone with an aggregation data entry background looking to move into CAT Risk and learn modern data analysis techniques, or for a STEM graduate eager to gain hands‑on data experience and learn the ropes. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

What Will Our Ideal Candidate Have?
