Job description

Who we are

Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.

Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.

Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.

With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.

• Producing pricing MI, portfolio analysis and performance reporting for key stakeholders.
• Contributing to the development of pricing infrastructure, automation initiatives and analytical capabilities.
• Supporting pricing governance activities, including compliance with pricing frameworks, policies and documentation requirements.
• Collaborating across Pricing, Underwriting, Claims, Capital Modelling and Reserving teams to improve business insight and decision making.
• Communicating technical concepts clearly to a range of audiences across the organisation.
• Contributing to knowledge sharing, peer review and continuous improvement within the actuarial function.
