The Team

This role sits within the Underwriting and Pricing Data team (team of 17), reporting to a Senior Data Manager. You’ll be part of a close-knit data team of four, acting as subject matter experts and driving data governance across broader functions like Pricing, Product, and IT.

The Role

A high-impact, change-focused role supporting the implementation of a new policy administration system.

- Champion Agile practices and drive data-led change.

- Feed insights back into central teams to improve data governance and accessibility.

Key Requirements

- ETL experience, ideally with Azure Data Factory or SSIS.

- Ability to interpret data, not just extract it.

- Experience mentoring or managing workflows in small teams.

- No insurance background required, but must pick up domain knowledge quickly.

The Benefits

- Clear progression framework with internal mobility and promotion focus.

- Personal development and leadership training opportunities.

- Collaborative and high-trust team culture.

- Modern offices with onsite parking and facilities.
