• Supporting Portfolio Management with evaluation of new deals, offers and tests, ensuring fair pricing policy and conduct expectations are adhered to in pricing proposals.
• Ensuring modelling and performance data is robust, liaising with Data & Systems team to initiate appropriate improvements.
• Coaching and mentoring junior Pricing Analysts, peer reviewing their models and recommending improvements as appropriate.
• Building effective working relationships with other Pricing teams, Distribution, Propositions, Finance, Medical Underwriting and Compliance.

Qualifications:

• Expert knowledge of retail pricing data and modelling techniques, including GLMs and machine learning such as GBMs, within the insurance industry.
• Expert knowledge of price optimisation and other actuarial techniques including reserving, and P&L dynamics of an insurance company.
• Significant experience of using Radar pricing software.
• Higher education (equivalent grades of 2:1 or higher) in a mathematics or statistics related discipline and ideally studying towards actuarial qualification.
• Understanding of the regulatory environment in which the business operates and understanding of the dynamics of large organisations.>

• Solution focused, with a strong focus on delivery, and desire for continuous improvement.
• Self‑motivated with a can‑do attitude, valuing the contribution of others and understanding the need for collaboration.
