You will be part of a 40+ strong team of professionals with over 400yrs combined experience in the markets that we serve. At Moody’s, we look to give analysts responsibility for discrete elements of projects very early in their career, so that they can take ownership of work and develop their consulting and project management skills.

  • Helping global customers respond to regulatory climate change stress tests
  • Modelling a cyber catastrophe bond to enable an insurer to spread their risk into the capital markets

  • You will be offered extensive training around Moody’s Insurance Solutions products and services, the markets we serve, and the opportunities within them. Initially, you will be expected to contribute to the full range of project opportunities, and over time you may specialize in key areas that meet the combined needs of the business and your own skills and capabilities, or remain a generalist.
