We make health happen

Our Actuarial teams play a key role in helping us deliver on our strategy. Whether your focus is pricing, reserving, modelling or another area we believe in allowing our colleagues to work in a way that suits them. Giving them the time and freedom to keep our customers at the heart of every decision.

As our Actuarial Pricing Analyst, you will provide critical technical actuarial support for the development of pricing recommendations to be taken to the internal pricing governance committees.

How you’ll help us make health happen

This role is in Bupa's UK Insurance business where you'll be part of the actuarial team responsible for the pricing and analytics for one or more of our insurance products.

We're responsible for developing and delivering the pricing strategy in support of Bupa's strategic goals. This involves analysis of the historical performance of the existing portfolio, identifying the drivers of trends and outcomes, putting forward recommended pricing actions and modelling the likely future impact of these actions.

In all this work there will be a clear focus on treating customers fairly and ensuring good outcomes for them.

You’ll support the development of new products and benefit features and support the pricing of any relevant new product or benefit changes. You’ll also be carrying out analysis and investigations of an actuarial nature, covering topics such as new business conversion rates, retention, competitor pricing, customer complaints and decision-making, expense allocation and long-term profitability by customer segment.

A typical day will involve extracting, refining and enriching data, building and running models using advanced analytical techniques, interpreting results and providing insight and recommendations. Work will be documented in line with the Technical Actuarial Standards and you'll contribute to the drafting of reports and presentations for consumption by senior stakeholders.

You will work closely with colleagues in other teams such as Sales, Finance,

Customer Insights, Product & Proposition, Clinical Policy and Healthcare Analytics on a range of projects and initiatives. You'll also work with our colleagues in the Actuarial Technical Hub to understand claims inflation and its impact on product performance and to ensure that the impact of our pricing work is taken into account in reporting and planning.
