Now in the private sector - working at the intersection of natural catastrophes and capital markets at Moody’s RMS. All opinions my own.

#CLIMATERISK JOBS Moody’s RMS has opened up hiring for a bunch of entry level roles in London, NYC and Edinburgh. These are positions across our model development, customer success (my org), and data science teams. If you are a grad or soon to be grad looking for work this could be for you!
