The Moody’s RMS Climate Hazards team, based in London, sits within the company’s Model Development group as part of the Models and Data Business Unit. The team works closely with other hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and financial modelers to quantify the loss potential of extreme climate events and to ensure the accuracy, efficiency, and appropriateness of the final modelling product.

- Good skills in a Linux/Unix environment.
- Ability to communicate analysis results and insights effectively.
