  • Carry out research and/or modelling assignments and contribute to project reports and other deliverables as needed;
  • Contribute to business development and acquisition through supporting and leading the preparation of project proposals;
  • Manage and cultivate client relationships and interactions, including presentation of project outputs;
  • Prepare presentations, draft speeches and press articles, blog posts etc. for internal and external stakeholders.

The requirements

  • At least 1-2 years of experience with climate risk consultancies, insurance markets, catastrophe modelling firms, or other relevant institutions;
  • Genuine interest in climate risk and resilience, and ability to adapt to and learn new areas of expertise;
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to synthesize and communicate complex data or information to non-technical audiences;
  • Knowledge of at least some of the following: Python, R, Microsoft Excel, and/or Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software (e.g., QGIS, ArcGIS);
  • Strong writing and presentational skills and ability to clearly summarise large bodies of information into concise reports and presentations;

  • Strong inter-personal skills, and ability to deploy effective communication techniques in internal and external stakeholder meetings;
  • A confident, dynamic and positive attitude, with an ability to thrive under pressure and the flexibility to adapt to a variety of tasks and situations;
  • Ability to work as a part of a team and independently; and
  • Excellent planning and organisational skills, including the ability to use initiative and prioritise workload.
