Senior Specialist Assessment

Gurgaon, Haryana, India

We invent the new to help the world move forward. Combining powerful analytics and deeper insights with bigger ideas and innovative solutions, we free up our clients' potential, thereby fulfilling our own. Take it seriously. Make it fun. Know it matters. Currently, the collection and dissemination of information to our risk transfer counterparties (traditional reinsurers and alternative capital providers) is ad hoc and distributed. We would like to centralize the activity to improve the quality of the data and the efficiency of the process. The expectation is for more than just "data gathering" - the desire is for someone who can consider the disparate way in which we share information with our external risk transfer counterparties and improve the quality, consistency, and overall relevance of what is presented - our data "face" to the outside world.
