Senior Pricing SME - Centre of Expertise
Hybrid
Let’s make the most of your talent.
Join us as a Senior Pricing SME within our Centre of Expertise, where you’ll have the opportunity to deliver thought leadership and support in shaping the future of our pricing & underwriting outcomes through transformation.
About Us
At Direct Line Group, insurance is just the start. Combining decades of industry experience with talented people in every field, we’re a customer-obsessed market powerhouse. And we all work together to be brilliant for customers, every single day.
Pricing and Underwriting is a complicated world, where historical data, geospatial information, and mathematical models meet talented analysts. Pricing our products is a fine line between balancing our business goals and customer needs. That’s why our pricers and underwriters are the best of the best. They reduce risk and predict future events ensuring our business can continue to grow whilst each and every one of our consumers gets the best price.
What you’ll be doing
Joining our Centre of Expertise within Pricing & Underwriting you’ll work alongside a range of P&U strategic experts who work holistically across the whole of our Pricing & Underwriting Chapter, enabling and supporting our squads to deliver. Additionally, you’ll parachute into specific teams as needed to provide specialist expertise and unblock issues – which will be integral to the wider success of the P&U Chapter.
Our mission is to be a best-in-class function. And, to be the best of the best we need to be curious and solution focused. This is where your expertise comes into play, as you leverage your broad knowledge and experience within pricing to lead and deliver our pricing transformation projects, taking our Pricing & Underwriting Chapter to new heights…
These are some of the activities you’ll be involved in;
Providing pricing, costing and actuarial thought leadership and advice across the P&U Chapter
Shaping thinking on future risks, risk appetite & future opportunities
Providing a strategic view of pricing capability roadmaps, supporting our P&U leadership team in the process
Proactive development of new approaches to Pricing
Work with underwriting as well as the wider P&U chapter to delivery value across P&U
Provide pricing expertise to transformation projects and pricing for new products
Help develop the Centre of Excellence through sharing of insight, expertise, coaching and role modelling
What we are looking for
We are keen to meet enthusiastic, passionate and curious individuals with a breadth of experience across pricing. Key is your desire to ‘T’ shape, developing your expertise but also broadening your wider knowledge to enable you to embrace and deliver lots of different scenarios and challenges.
A commercial mentality with strong data expertise and the ability to identify risks and opportunities across the function
Strong external pricing network to be able to bring your external marketplace, customer and competitor knowledge to the team
Whilst this is a more strategic and consultative role, we are looking for individuals with previous technical experience within pricing and relevant software such as Radar Emblem, model building etc. as to be able to guide and advise our teams
Ability to positively influence a range of stakeholders including our leadership team
