1. Trade management of the Motor Insurance Products, including analysis of run rates and collaboration across IMS functions to improve trading performance.
2. Commercial planning & forecasting, including annual planning and benefit realisation, evaluating and tracking business benefits through post-implementation reviews.
3. Creating a roadmap for Motor Insurance Products and initiatives, working with existing functions to drive the Motor Insurance P&L.
4. Collaborating with teams such as Marketing, Pricing, Operations, and Finance to identify market opportunities and threats, and to develop ideas that benefit customers and the business.

We need you to have

1. Commercial acumen & knowledge of the General Insurance Market, preferably Motor Insurance, with the ability to develop solutions independently and interpret complex data.
2. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Applications, especially Excel & PowerPoint, for report creation and data analysis.
3. Experience in Trade and Performance management & annual planning within General Insurance.
4. Experience using data to drive insights, including market research and analysis.
5. Understanding of risk and controls management in a regulated industry, with a focus on customer-centric solutions.

And if you have any of these, even better

1. Experience with Power BI & datasets.
2. Line management experience and supporting team development.
3. We don’t expect you to tick every box; if you meet most of the criteria, consider exploring this opportunity to develop your career with us.

What’s in it for you

1. Retirement preparation through our pension scheme.
2. Private Medical Insurance (WL2+) and virtual GP service for you and your family, 365 days a year.
3. Performance-related annual bonus.
4. Generous holiday allowance starting at 7.2 weeks, with options to buy more.
