As a Senior Analyst, you’ll play a key role in strengthening our understanding of risk and shaping how we manage exposure across multiple lines of business. Acting as a trusted technical expert, you’ll provide guidance and insight to the market‑facing units supporting robust underwriting discipline and informed decision‑making. Working within the Exposure Management team and benefiting from the breadth of expertise across Zurich’s UK Technical function, you’ll help drive the delivery of our Exposure Management strategy.

Collaboration will be central to your success. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and cross‑functional teams to ensure our exposure management capabilities are market‑leading and aligned with business priorities. This is a fantastic opportunity to influence meaningful change, support business growth and play a major role in advancing the organisation’s exposure management maturity.
