Risk Graduate

Overview

Assessing and managing risk is at the heart of what we do as a leading speciality insurance and reinsurance group.

Our 24 month programme provides a unique opportunity to experience each of our key risk departments. You’ll dive into complex and comprehensive techniques for analysing, modelling, monitoring, reporting, and mitigating risks.  Placements with our Risk Management, Exposure Management and Capital Modelling will develop your expertise across our Risk Function:

Risk Management

Help develop key areas of our risk framework as we look to continuously improve our risk processes, and explore in detail specific topics or business concerns such as geopolitical events or new regulation to understand the risks posed to Chaucer. 

Capital Modelling

Work with our stochastic models to determine funding for our (re)insurance business. Produce model outputs and management information to help teams like Pricing, Investments, Risk Management, and Reinsurance in understanding our business's risk profile.

Exposure Management team

Through modelling and analytics you will help the business measure and understand the accumulation of exposure, and what losses could occur as a result of catastrophic events like earthquakes or hurricanes

The combination of this experience, along with the training and support we offer, will enable you to accelerate your career and develop into a well-rounded Risk professional.
