[Hiring] Senior Forward Deployed Underwriter @Neural Earth

Role Description

You have sat in the seat we are selling into. That is the job requirement. You have owned a loss ratio, defended a rate filing, and watched a vendor model tell you something about your own book that you knew was wrong, deciding what to do about it with a renewal deadline in front of you. As a Senior Forward Deployed Underwriter , you are the first Neural Earth person in the room with a Chief Actuary, and often the only one:

• Embed in a carrier or reinsurer's actual book, Florida wind, California wildfire, Texas hail.
• Run Prometheus against their in-force exposure and find where the incumbent model is wrong, proving it at parcel resolution.
• Author a one-page memo to a Chief Actuary that diagnoses a 12-point loss ratio divergence, concedes what it should concede, and recommends a decision.
• Create the category, account by account, arguing that the line should exist.
• Turn the field back into the product, using insights gained for direct access to engineering and the CEO.
• Diagnose divergence and communicate findings honestly.

Qualifications

• 6 to 9 years inside a carrier, reinsurer, or MGA: pricing actuary, underwriting manager, cat modeling lead, or portfolio manager.
• Personal ownership of a loss ratio, a rate filing, or a treaty renewal.
• Practitioner fluency in Touchstone, RMS, or AIR.
• A real network at the decision layer: fifteen or more Chief Actuaries, Chief Underwriting Officers, and Heads of Cat Modeling.
• Ability to accommodate travel as needed (~40%).
