Junior GIS Analyst at Aon Impact Forecasting (Prague)

Junior GIS Analyst at Aon Impact Forecasting

This role is part of Aon Impact Forecasting team, a team of scientists, developers and client services colleagues together developing and supporting catastrophe models for various perils including flood, windstorm, earthquake, wildfire or terrorism.

We are looking for a new colleague to join our Geospatial Data and Solutions team! We’re looking for someone with some experience or strong interest in GIS and Python, who is eager to learn and grow, to work on mapping products derived from Impact Forecasting’s catastrophe models for (re)insurance!

Your main tasks will include:

• Supporting the preparation and maintenance of geospatial datasets based on our catastrophe models
• Learning to transform model outputs to meet our data standards and client‑specific needs
• Helping to prepare and load geospatial data into our underwriting applications and other third‑party tools
• Close cooperation with other Impact Forecasting teams

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you have some of the following:

• Practical experience processing geospatial data using relevant tools and software—QGIS and Python experience is an advantage, but similar experience with other GIS tools and programming languages is also perfectly fine
• Experience or exposure to different geospatial data formats—while we primarily use raster data, a broad overview of other formats and a willingness to learn more is beneficial
• Our metadata is currently stored in SQL databases, with future plans to expand workflows to the cloud; any exposure to SQL or database concepts is a plus, but not required
• Good communication skills, including verbal and written English (other languages are a plus; some Czech is an advantage as the core team is based in Prague)
• A technical and analytical mindset, and a willingness to learn new technologies

What we offer:

• Interesting and varied role in a dynamic and exciting team – Aon is an equal opportunity employer
• Opportunity to work for a market leader in the global reinsurance and insurance industry
• Possibility of flexible working
• Attractive compensation package including benefits like pension scheme contributions, language courses, high quality working conditions in our modern offices in the city center of Prague

Please note applications are available for candidates with valid work permit in Czechia.
