About Arthur

Arthur is your trusted partner in search and recruitment for the insurance industry. We elevate careers by bringing together forward-thinking businesses and brilliant professionals.

Built on the foundations of transparency, quality and integrity, our consultative and solutions-focused approach enables our experienced recruitment specialists to deliver an excellent service every time.

For more than 20 years, Arthur has specialised exclusively in the insurance market. We work with over 150 insurance businesses and have developed one of the strongest client and candidate networks across the London and Lloyd’s markets.

Our ambition is to set the standard for the future of insurance recruitment. We go beyond transactional recruitment to build long-lasting relationships in which our clients, candidates and people can thrive.

Our CAT Team

Arthur’s Catastrophe Modelling, Exposure Management and Analytics team is one of the most established specialist recruitment teams operating within the London insurance market.

The team partners with insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd’s syndicates, brokers, consultancies and technology businesses to recruit professionals across catastrophe modelling, exposure management, portfolio analytics, climate risk and natural catastrophe research.

This is a high-performing and highly respected team with strong existing relationships across the London and Lloyd’s markets, an extensive specialist candidate network and significant opportunities for further growth across the UK, Europe, Bermuda and the United States.

The successful person will be joining an established desk with real momentum rather than being expected to build a market from scratch. There is an active client base, a strong flow of permanent and contract opportunities and access to wider relationships generated by more than 30 insurance recruitment consultants across Arthur.

You will work alongside experienced CAT recruitment specialists who understand the market, collaborate closely and share candidates, clients and market intelligence. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to develop a long-term career in a highly specialised, relationship-led and commercially rewarding recruitment market.
