Pricing and Underwriting is a complex world where historical data, geospatial information, and mathematical models meet talented analysts.

They reduce risk and predict future events, ensuring our business can grow while providing the best prices for our consumers.

- Lead relevant pricing and chapter projects as needed.

What we are looking for:

- Previous pricing experience within an insurance role and the ability to adapt in a changing environment.

- Technical experience in areas such as trading, modelling, optimisation, risk modelling, etc.

- Proficiency with software & tools like Radar, Emblem, SAS, SQL, Python.

- Curiosity, collaboration, excellent communication, and problem-solving skills.

- Ability to positively influence stakeholders.

What we offer:

We value our colleagues and offer benefits tailored to your lifestyle:

- 50% off home, motor, and pet insurance plus free travel insurance and Green Flag breakdown cover.

- Up to 10% annual bonus.

- 25 days holiday (rising to 28) plus bank holidays; option to buy or sell up to 5 days.
