Job description

Senior Pricing Specialist – Darwin

Salary up to c. £90,000

London

This is a great job for someone who...

Loves turning data into decisions that drive customer and commercial value. You might already be an experienced pricing professional, or someone with strong modelling and analytics expertise looking to take on broader ownership. If you're curious, commercially minded, and enjoy seeing your ideas move from concept to delivery at pace through a fast, flexible and custom-built rating engine, this could be the role for you.

A bit about the job:

You'll join the Darwin team, a tech-led motor insurance business built by a small, entrepreneurial team with big ambitions. As part of Aviva, Darwin combines the agility and innovation of a startup with the scale, support and stability of a major insurer.

Working at the heart of Darwin's Pricing & Underwriting team, you'll help shape the future of insurance pricing through the use of data, insight and innovative approaches. You'll identify opportunities, develop pricing solutions and drive pricing innovation, taking end-to-end ownership of customer pricing across both risk and margin. The role is accountable for supporting profitable business growth while ensuring excellent outcomes for customers in a dynamic and competitive market.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Strong insurance industry knowledge, with a solid understanding of general insurance pricing and ideally experience within motor insurance.

• A commercially driven mindset, motivated by delivering tangible business value through smart, data-led decision making.

• Advanced statistical modelling, machine learning and quantitative analytical skills, with the ability to automate insight generation, enhance risk segmentation and translate findings into pricing actions.

• Strong technical capability in tools such as Python, SQL, Tableau, or similar, with experience extracting insights from complex datasets.

• A strong understanding of, or desire to develop expertise in, end-to-end insurance pricing from data through to deployment.

What you’ll get for this role:

Our purpose - with you today, for a better tomorrow – is a promise we make to our colleagues too. And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you. We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.

• Starting salary up to c. £90,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
• Bonus opportunity - 10% of annual salary, (actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s.)
• Generous pension scheme - e.g. if you put in 8%, Aviva adds 14%
• 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days
• Aviva-funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it
• Make your money go further - Up to 40% discount on Aviva products, and other retailer discounts
• Up to £1,200 of free Aviva shares per year through our Matching Share Plan and share in the success of Aviva with our Save As You Earn scheme
• Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer’s leave
• Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work
• Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others
• We take your wellbeing seriously with lots of support and tools
