"I run SCOR's R&D Centre on Longevity and Mortality insurance. Our centre is unique: very few reinsurers have full-time teams dedicated to R&D in mortality and longevity risks. Before joining SCOR I was a researcher with a French national research institute. I always wanted a career involving mathematics – I have a PhD in geometry. I really appreciate the extent of our partnerships with academic researchers, and enjoy attending international conferences in order to keep up-to-date with the latest actuarial and financial research."
UNDERWRITERS
Underwriters are responsible for negotiating contract terms and conditions. They have an excellent knowledge of their clients' businesses and of the local markets, which means that they can offer fully tailored solutions. In order to best advise their clients, they also consult Group experts and visit client companies on a regular basis.
“As an underwriter, I have a very comprehensive role that is at once highly technical, legal and commercial. My responsibilities involve risk analysis, contract negotiation and claims settlement. I make risk inspection visits to industrial sites, work on product development, organise technical training programmes and manage support activity. I really like being able to meet so many diverse clients, and enjoy all the teamwork involved”.
ACCOUNTANTS
Our accounting teams work very closely with SCOR’s underwriters, clients, branches, subsidiaries and hubs. The accountants provide quantitative information and apply the planning and management tools that enable the Group to establish a strategy and monitor its implementation.
"Ten months ago I was appointed Treaties Administration Manager in SCOR Global Life's accounting department, in charge of coordinating technical accounting, setting priorities and occasionally leading training programmes. My career path at SCOR has enabled me to occupy a number of different posts. For example, I have managed a team in the Group’s Non-Life branch, worked in the Finance department and helped to establish SCOR’s accountancy data processing tools. I feel very much at home here due to the vast range of products involved and the diversity of the markets in which we do business.”
EXPERTS
“Our research centre is unique: very few reinsurers have full-time teams dedicated to R&D”. Sofia, SCOR Actuary.
SCOR’s teams are supported by the Group’s network of in-house specialists, whose high level of expertise is recognised by the markets. In the Life insurance sector, for example, our doctors study the risks attached to certain illnesses, while in the Non-Life sector we consult engineers and experts working in various fields such as agricultural risks, aviation and spatial insurance and loans. SCOR also entrusts its experts with the management of its own risks, notably with regard to natural catastrophe exposure.
