About FloodFlash
80% of the world’s catastrophic flood losses aren’t insured. That’s a $58bn bill each year for governments, businesses and people. The problem is getting bigger too, because of climate change, population growth and urbanisation. This is what we are working on at FloodFlash. We combine computer models, cloud software and internet-of-things technology to protect those that the insurance industry leaves behind.
The role
We're hiring a flood modeller to lead research and development for our view of property-level flood risk as we expand into new territories.
You will:
- Be the principal expert for flood hazard research and modelling at FloodFlash
- Lead development of a US property-level risk pricing methodology for launch in Q2 2022
- Working with industry partners, establish the market validity of our modelling approaches for underwriting parametric flood insurance
- Lead research projects to develop new datasets and methodologies that address local-scale uncertainties in flood hazard modelling
- Represent FloodFlash externally in our capacity as leading practitioners in flood risk modelling for parametric insurance, at events and conferences, as well as in written publications and other media.
- Support the CSO in promoting research best practices and skills development within the analytics function, and more broadly, at FloodFlash
What you’ll get
The starting salary range for this role is £50,000 to £90,000, plus company equity (shares).
Here’s what you can expect as part of your package when you join FloodFlash:
- 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays
- Company share options
- Enrolment onto our pension scheme from your first day
- Office refreshments & snacks, Thursday lunches and team celebrations throughout the year
- The option to use our cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme
We provide our team with benefits that reflect how much we value them. So, we:
- are dedicated to continual learning and offer
- an annual professional development budget
- dedicated time for study
- peer-to-peer learning opportunities
- offer a flexible, hybrid style of working, and support you to enable your best working environment. You can choose to work from
- the FloodFlash office in London
- home/remotely with a home-working budget of £500 for equipment
- add you to our group life insurance policy at 4x your salary from day one
- sign you up to our health and wellbeing resources including SmartHealth on-demand GP, mental health support service and memberships to Calm and Fiit apps
