A reinsurance analyst resume that only says "worked in reinsurance" gets filtered out. The people hiring for this role care about one thing: can you analyze treaties and facultative risks, support pricing, model exposure and catastrophe risk, and give portfolio insight. The resumes that land interviews talk about treaty analysis, pricing, and portfolio — not just "worked in reinsurance."

Treaty/facultative analysis, pricing, exposure/cat modeling, and portfolio insight. Use treaties/submissions, pricing/rating, exposure/accumulations, and portfolio/profitability to show what you analyzed and how you supported pricing — not just "worked in reinsurance."
Use real numbers: treaties and submissions analyzed, pricing/rating work, exposure/accumulations modeled, and portfolio profitability/insight. "Analyzed treaties, supported pricing, ran cat modeling" beats "worked in reinsurance." Keep the data honest.
A reinsurance analyst analyzes reinsurance — treaties, cat exposure, and portfolio. An insurance underwriter underwrites primary risk — pricing and deciding individual policies. One works at the reinsurance layer; the other at the primary policy layer. Frame your resume to match the role.
Yes. Catastrophe modeling and accumulation/PML analysis are central to reinsurance, where tail risk drives pricing and capacity decisions. Showing you ran cat models and translated exposure into pricing or portfolio insight is a strong signal of technical reinsurance capability.
