Analyze various government, industry, and private data sources and develop methodologies to trend, estimate, and validate total exposure amounts from the available but usually incomplete data. Research insurance coverage, take-up, and policy structure issues and monitor changes over time. Use RMS catastrophe risk models to develop estimates of insurance industry losses from different catastrophe events. Interact with technical marketing and product development personnel to design, productize, and document industry exposure and risk products. Write functional specifications and test plans. Provide internal and external client support and liaise with clients and industry representatives to gather data and support RMS involvement in related initiatives.

Requirements:
The position requires an undergraduate degree in economics, statistics, science, or engineering and at least 4 years of experience, as well as, experience in building large data bases at varying levels of spatial resolution (e.g. countrywide, county, postal code, census track, etc.) from disparate data sources.

Some knowledge of any of the following will be also helpful: C, C++, MatLab, and S/R.

I'll say. :wow

Good luck filling that job.

I'm going to remember that job title when I'm on a quiz show and I'm asked what's the most obscure job title you ever heard.

Catastrophe Exposure Analyst, Alex. :x

Hey you think a AB and masters in business with extensive DB building experience would compensate for not having a degree in the right field? If so, I may know someone interested.

Wow, comprehensive database design/data mining experience and forecasting/operations research skills from one person. Seems like a two person job to me :).

The position is more about data modeling. If you have knowledge in the Catastrophe industry will be a big plus.
Any civil engineer will also fit this job.

There won't be any forecasting needed.
Just the data model you build should be able to analyse from the result.
