At MS Amlin, we operate at the heart of the Lloyd's market - a place where complex risks meet innovative solutions. We're looking for a Senior Risk Analyst to join our team and help shape how we manage and oversee quantitative risk across the business. This role offers genuine variety.

Areas of quantitative oversight include underwriting, portfolio management, outwards reinsurance, exposure management, pricing, reserving, and capital. You'll collaborate with specialists across the business, contribute to management level discussions, and gain exposure to the decision‑making that drives a leading Lloyd's syndicate. This is an opportunity to work in a collaborative, forward-looking Risk team where your work will be visible at the highest levels of the business.

You'll gain exposure across the full spectrum of insurance risk, contribute to shaping our approach in the Lloyd's market, and develop your career in an environment that values curiosity, challenge, and growth.
