You’ll take ownership of monthly pricing changes, performance monitoring and market analysis, while continuously improving modelling, automation and governance standards. You’ll also play a key role in identifying new opportunities, managing risk, and supporting long-term profitability and strategic initiatives.

Key Requirements

• 5+ years’ experience in UK motor pricing within a commercial insurance environment.
• Strong track record building, reviewing and deploying pricing models into production.
• Advanced analytical capability with solid understanding of GLMs, statistical modelling and pricing methodologies.
• Strong programming skills (SAS essential; machine learning experience desirable).
• Experience conducting rate reviews and monitoring pricing performance.
• In-depth knowledge of the UK motor insurance market and relevant regulation.
• Logical, structured problem-solver with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Confident communicator able to translate complex analysis into clear commercial insight.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating across teams and influencing senior stakeholders.
• Degree in a quantitative discipline; qualified actuary desirable but not essential.
