Job description

North Co Recruitment are working with a leading personal lines insurer to appoint a Principal Pricing Analyst into their Pricing and Analytics function. This is a function in genuine growth mode - new strategy, new tooling, real investment in headcount and capability - and a hire where you'll have meaningful influence over how pricing is done, not just maintain what's already there.

What you’ll do

• Own rate proposals end-to-end - from analysis of mix, demand and loss ratio trends through to implementation - and be accountable for the performance they deliver.
• Shape pricing strategy with direct input from competitor and market intelligence, rather than simply executing decisions made above you.
• Lead on new product, deal and offer evaluation, working cross-functionally to bring commercial ideas to life.
• Drive fair value principles through every pricing decision, with a focus on outcomes for existing customers as much as new business.
• Present complex analysis to senior stakeholders in a way that lands commercially and drives buy-in.
• Help build a high-performing team around you, supporting and developing junior analysts as the function grows.

What we’re looking for

• Solid insurance pricing experience, ideally in personal lines or retail.
• Proficiency in R, Python or similar, with strong statistical modelling skills.
• The ability to turn analytical output into clear commercial recommendations - and to make that case in a room.
• Confident stakeholder management, with experience influencing at a senior level.
• A collaborative mindset and the credibility to mentor others in a growing team.
• Hybrid working applies, with a mix of home and office-based collaboration.

Salary: £70,000-80,000 base, plus discretionary bonus

Location: Hybrid, Manchester Based.
