About the Graduate Program/Role

As a graduate you’ll build a diverse and relevant career – learning our business, discovering your career growth opportunities, and continuing to develop your skills for years to come.  Starting in September 2026, you'll join an international cohort of Moody’s Insurance Solutions graduates. You'll begin with a month-long training program, learning from our network of leading developers, scientists, product managers, customer success practitioners, and clients. Following this, you'll participate in our rotation program, gaining direct experience across various teams and disciplines. Through your rotations you will enhance your knowledge of our products, how they are built, the companies who use them, and how they get value and insight from them. Your work will span our products and markets, developing technical skills and knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication skills. 

Moody’s Insurance Solutions uses a combination of observations, reanalysis data, numerical, statistical and engineering models. We are the pioneers in the development and application of combined statistical and numerical modelling methods for the quantification of natural hazard risk, and our models are the most detailed and comprehensive models of natural catastrophes produced anywhere in the world. Our team has over fifty Ph.D. scientists and engineers based in London, building mathematical models that predict the distributions of possible damage due to the effects of tropical storms, extra-tropical storms, thunderstorms, storm-surges, and freshwater floods. The model development organization is a multidisciplinary team of catastrophe modelers including statisticians, mathematicians, physical scientists and engineers, who build models critical to our clients (Re/Insurance, regulatory, and more) and essential to the other markets we serve. 

The Model Analytics team’s goal is to add efficiency and insight throughout the model development cycle and to increase the value of the models we bring to market by: eliminating surprises; telling the story of model releases; and sharing our expertise in large scale data pipelining/processing, analytics, and reporting tools. The Data Science graduate will get the opportunity to work closely with the Model Development, Model Analytics, Model Documentation, Model Specialist, Consulting, and other teams to help provide insight into upcoming models, eliminate surprises, and ensure readiness for model releases. In this role, you will work with a broad range of internal and client data, and with data pipelining, processing, and visualization tools that are being increasingly utilized across teams and organizations within Moody’s Insurance Solutions. The ideal candidate for this position is interested in a broad range of work spanning data cleansing, data analysis/data analytics, programming, tool development, data pipelines, gaining an in-depth knowledge of catastrophe modeling and the model development cycle, and, eventually, giving detailed presentations and recommendations to leadership.
