Job Description

InsurX are on a mission to build the technology that connects any broker and any insurer so they can exchange risk without friction.

After our first partners signed up in late 2022, 27 broking houses and 22 insurers have now traded over $150m in premium using our technology. We're targeting $1B of premium traded using our technology by the end of 2027.

The insurance market is ripe for change and rapidly digitalising - this isn't just our opinion, it's the market's consensus. The insurance industry is like investment banking in the late '70s: it's about to go through its own "Big Bang". InsurX is leading the charge. We're making a success of it by we've assembling a stellar team of diverse talent, uniting technology expertise with deep knowledge of the insurance business. Our team is united by intellectual curiosity and a determination to change insurance for the better.

About Us

About Us:

InsurX are on a mission to bring the $2tn complex commercial insurance industry into the 21st century. We're doing that by growing our two-sided digital exchange that connects brokers and insurers to algorithmically trade risks - everything from large scale infrastructure projects to major artists' tours - in a data-driven way.

We started the company in 2022, processed $20M of premium in our first year of trading, and quadrupled that in 2024. We're targeting $1bn of premium to flow through our Exchange by the end of 2026.

The insurance market is ripe for change and rapidly digitalising - this isn't our opinion, but something put forward by the market itself. We're at the forefront of this modernisation and leading the charge.

We're finding success by combining insurance expertise with outside talent. We want people to join who are curious, growth-hungry, love a challenge and taking on initiative.

About the Role

We're looking for a Portfolio Analyst to join our Insurance Analytics space. This is an area of focus for InsurX as we look to deepen the level of insights we generate to our customers. You'll be an integral part of this journey; shaping and producing what our customers consume. As you develop, you'll begin to take ownership on the technical insights of the insurance portfolios that we support.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Technical evaluation of portfolios, such as Broker Facilities and Smart Consortiums, being placed onto the InsurX exchange, including profitability, indexation and actuarial pricing review.
  • Supporting the structuring of such deals and owning the production of data artifacts within the Broking Submission.
  • Monitoring ongoing deal performance with the view of taking technical ownership on certain deals. This will include reviewing portfolio mix, rating levels, broker usage and loss performance, to drive insights that can be fed back to follow carriers, particularly through structured Quarterly Reviews.
  • Surfacing insights on broker placement and carrier interactions and translating these into tangible actions for both internal and external clients.
  • Developing internal capabilities to support the ongoing monitoring of live deals on the InsurX exchange.
  • Supporting pre and post loss event analysis, and broader claims experience monitoring.
  • Engaging with our third-party providers to actively improve the insights we generate.
  • Be the point of contact for our external queries on Underwriting, Pricing and Exposure Management.

You'll be an effective communicator; able to work with a range of stakeholders by translating analytical output into clear practical recommendations. You'll enjoy collaborating across teams and functions and be comfortable taking decisions where there is no established approach. The role is 'front line' - working side by side with the Commercial team as the technical counterpart.
