Climate Hazard Modeling VP

What you'll do

• Build physical climate risk models using AI numerical weather prediction, stochastic ensembles, and physics-based models.
• Lead a team of scientists to architect and implement models for climate risk assessment.
• Create robust, reproducible physical models that withstand peer review and global validation.
• Establish standards, methodologies, and techniques for modeling physical risks related to climate change.
• Design scalable and maintainable scientific modeling pipelines with data, cloud, and security teams.
• Conduct validation studies to ensure scientific rigor and continuous improvement of model designs.
• Organize team activities to track work progress and align timelines with project managers and stakeholders.
• Translate business requirements into scientific solutions for product and sales teams.

What we're looking for

• Ph.D. in Meteorology, Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography, Hydrology, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or a similar subject.
• 5+ years of experience developing environmental products to meet client requirements.
• Experience developing probabilistic risk products, such as catastrophe model outputs (preferred).
• Programming experience in Python, R, C/C++, and/or Fortran.
• Experience with cloud optimized geospatial formats such as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) and GeoParquet.
• Knowledge of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) outputs and shared socioeconomic pathways.
• Practical experience using AI tools for writing production scientific code and pipelines.
• Familiarity with financial services and index space (preferred).
