Job description

Description

We’re seeking a talented Senior Portfolio Pricing Analyst to join our Pricing team in Manchester on a full‑time, permanent basis. In this key role, you’ll deliver high‑quality insights aimed at enhancing the performance of our Retail portfolio. Your primary focus will be providing actionable, data‑driven analysis to our pricing and trading teams, leveraging both internal and external data sources. This will help ensure our commercial outcomes are maximised, supporting the ongoing growth and success of our Retail business. If you’re passionate about data, analysis, and making a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and maintain profit trajectories for multiple lines of business within the Retail Portfolio.
• Provide market insights and estimate the impact of trends to support portfolio performance improvement.
• Deliver future premium and loss ratio projections for quarterly reserve reviews.
• Collaborate with Pricing, Finance, and Claims teams to generate comprehensive performance insights.
• Analyse performance variances across the portfolio with the Actuarial and Reserving teams.
• Support the Budgeting and Forecasting process, including LR and COR bridges.
• Ensure timely delivery of insights and reports, working independently and as part of the team.
• Communicate requirements clearly to stakeholders and keep them updated on progress.

Due to the number of applications we expect to receive for this role, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the listed closing date to ensure we’re able to effectively manage interest. Therefore, if you’re interested in joining us at AXA, please don’t hesitate to apply.

What you’ll bring:

• Proficient in Python (object‑oriented development) and Git version control, with experience working on cloud platforms like Azure and Databricks.
• Knowledge of Power BI, EMBLEM, Radar, and insurance pricing models.
• Sound data analysis skills, with the ability to interpret data and tell compelling stories that drive insights and solve problems.
• Excellent time management skills, capable of meeting deadlines and handling multiple tasks efficiently.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex findings to diverse audiences.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and stakeholders, ensuring clear and consistent communication.
• Good understanding of business performance metrics and how to use them to generate actionable insights.
• Knowledge of trading, pricing, and underwriting functions, along with related reporting processes.

As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.

This position has been defined as an Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) role under the IDD regime which means that in addition to pre‑employment screening checks, the successful candidate will be subject to background screening every 4 years with an annual declaration in interim years.

What we offer:

• Competitive annual salary dependent on experience.
