Our story began in Italy, where we’ve quickly become the number one online motor insurance provider. In fact, we’re trusted by over 5 million drivers. And now we’re expanding to help millions more drivers in the UK and Spain. To help fuel that growth, we’re looking for Data Scientists to join our Pricing & Underwriting Department, the strategic engine behind Prima\'s growth.

What You’ll Do

• Leverage data to identify risks, opportunities and key pricing drivers, turning complex information into actionable insights that influence strategic decision making;

What We’re Looking For

• Strong academic background in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering (Maths, Physics and Computer Science specialisations), Data Science, Computer Science or Statistics;
• Strong quantitative, logical and analytical abilities, a solid foundation in statistics, probability and advanced analytics, and a curious, proactive and innovative mindset focused on solving complex problems;
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to challenge assumptions, and drive new ideas;
• Possess a solid foundation in code development and machine learning, ideally in Python;
• Know how to create, manipulate and analyse large datasets.
