What Is the Opportunity?
We are looking for an Underwriting Data Analyst to join our team in London. In this role, you will be responsible for manipulating data sets, working with business intelligence on tools like QlikSense, and using the suite of dashboards to generate regular and ad-hoc reports. This will include producing portfolio solutions reports, providing quicker insights into the portfolio than traditional business intelligence processes.
Ideally, we are seeking someone with experience working with management information (MI) as well as familiarity with visualisation tools such as QlikSense or Power BI. While you won’t be building these tools yourself, you will collaborate with business intelligence teams to develop them. A general understanding of underwriting is important, and candidates with experience in a similar role, such as MI Data Analysts, and at least a year of experience in insurance are encouraged to apply.
You will work with BI Specialty (Syndicate) and Retail (Property & Casualty) to analyse and monitor underwriting portfolios to create greater consistency in how the planning lines are monitored. Provide insight analysis to UW to allow them to make more informed decisions about their portfolio and the risks they underwrite.

This entails full time employees working three days a week in the office and two days at home (or pro rata for part-time employees). This policy may be changed at the Company’s discretion.
This role is eligible for a £1500 new joiner bonus. If you are successfully referred by an employee at Travelers Europe, both you and the person who referred you could be eligible for this bonus.
What Will You Do?

Assist UW Officers to develop and analyse portfolios from an underwriting perspective utilising MI/BI data and reporting insights from multiple sources - Business Intelligence, Actuarial, Catastrophe Modelling, Rating, Claims, Production and other performance data.
