- Lead the business oversight into ingestion, transformation, and normalization of exposure data from internal and external sources, using underwriting, Actuarial or adjacent knowledge
- Validate and QA exposure data: identify anomalies, gaps, duplicates, inconsistencies, and drive improvements
- Partner with actuarial, underwriting, catastrophe modeling, and product teams to understand their exposure needs
- Develop and maintain exposure data documentation, data dictionaries, and process guidelines
- Enable and support analytical use cases (e.g. accumulation risk, portfolio stress testing, scenario analysis)
- Build, monitor and track data quality KPIs, build dashboards or alerts to surface issues proactively
- Support ad hoc analysis to diagnose exposure trends, concentration risk, rate analysis, and required underwriting actions
- Provide guidance on integrating exposure data into downstream tools (e.g. modeling engines, pricing systems, BI)
