Job Description
Strategic Portfolio Management Specialist (Pricing)
Kent or Bristol - Hybrid (2 days onsite) Salary: DOE
A large-scale evolution of pricing capability is in motion, with significant investment in systems, modelling sophistication, and portfolio oversight. As part of this shift, we're looking for a commercially astute Portfolio Pricing Management Manager to help steer portfolio performance and translate strategy into measurable results.
This role sits at the centre of commercial decision-making. It's suited to someone who understands how underwriting performance flows through the P&L and enjoys turning insight into practical action. You'll partner closely with Finance and Distribution to shape forecasts, challenge pricing decisions, and ensure initiatives genuinely enhance portfolio value.
This is not a technical model build role. The focus is on managing and optimising the existing book, refining forecasting assumptions, and making confident, commercially grounded decisions.
What you'll be responsible for
- Deliver detailed projections of underwriting and portfolio performance
- Translate strategic objectives into clear, actionable portfolio plans
- Partner with Pricing, Finance and Distribution to drive performance improvement
- Review case-level pricing and underwriting decisions, including discounts and referrals
- Ensure retention initiatives are commercially sound and effectively implemented
- Contribute to new business campaigns and monitor performance against plan
- Provide constructive challenge to senior stakeholders and commercial teams
What we're looking for
- 3-5 years' experience in pricing, underwriting, actuarial or finance roles
- Strong grasp of P&L mechanics and key insurance performance drivers
- Numerate background (actuarial or accountancy qualifications advantageous)
- Experience building forecasts and forward-looking business plans
- Understanding of insurance underwriting dynamics (GI background beneficial)
- Confident communicator with the ability to influence and challenge
- Strategic mindset with a delivery-focused approach
Experience in health insurance is helpful but not essential.
Why consider this role?
- Integral hire within a major transformation programme
- Real influence over portfolio strategy and performance
- High visibility across Finance and Distribution
If you're commercially driven, analytically strong, and ready to influence portfolio performance at a strategic level, this is a chance to make meaningful impact.
