Job Description & Summary

A career in our Risk Modeling Services practice will provide you with the opportunity to contribute general insurance advice and consulting services to clients such as insurers, banks, regulators, and third party administrators. You’ll provide advice covering solvency, economic capital, risk management, mergers and acquisitions, company restructuring and risk control, financial modelling, underwriting, new legislation, and the efficiency of claims or reporting processes.

Combining leading-edge climate science with financial risk modeling expertise in the insurance and reinsurance industries, our team predicts financial impacts from climate change for real assets and supports our clients to understand the implications of transition risks and emissions related initiatives on their businesses. PwC is looking to expand its climate expertise and become a leader in the climate risk modeling industry. PwC's global Actuarial Services team helps clients act decisively on their most important issues. We apply our risk, analytical, and coding skills to turn complex data into the predictive insights that allow our clients to inform practical business solutions.
