Job description

Overview

You’ll be joining PwC’s Risk Line of Service, within our AI & Modelling team, working at the forefront of AI-enabled transformation in the insurance sector.

Role Overview

As a Manager / Senior Manager, you will sit close to the technology: shaping solution architecture, guiding engineering and modelling teams, and ensuring that AI solutions are robust, scalable, explainable and fit for purpose in a regulated insurance environment. You will work alongside actuaries, data scientists, engineers, and insurance specialists, and will be supported by PwC’s onshore and offshore Technology and AI Centres of Excellence.

What Your Days Will Look Like

• Leading the design and delivery of AI-enabled solutions, from problem definition through to deployment, across insurance pricing, reserving, capital modelling, finance transformation and risk analytics.
• Shaping solution architectures for Generative AI and agentic systems, including decisions around data, models, orchestration, controls and integration into existing platforms.
• Working hands‑on with technical teams (engineers, data scientists, actuaries) to translate vision into buildable, testable and scalable solutions.
• Navigating fast‑moving technology landscapes, assessing emerging tools and approaches, and making informed trade‑offs between innovation, risk, cost and time‑to‑value.

Qualifications & Experience

• Strong experience delivering technology‑enabled transformation in insurance or financial services, with clear hands‑on involvement in solution design and delivery.
• Practical experience with modern AI and analytics approaches, such as Generative AI, large language model‑based systems, agentic or decision‑automation architectures, and advanced analytics and modelling in regulated environments.
• Understanding of how AI solutions are built and operated, including data pipelines, feature engineering, model lifecycle management, and integration with enterprise systems and workflows.
• Comfortable making architectural and design decisions in complex, rapidly evolving environments.
• Understanding of insurance finance, actuarial, pricing, risk or capital to design solutions that work in practice.
• Ability to lead technical teams, providing direction, challenge and structure without needing to be the deepest specialist.

Benefits

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover; 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
