North Co Recruitment are working with a leading personal lines insurer to appoint a Principal Pricing Analyst into their Pricing and Analytics function. This is a function in genuine growth mode - new strategy, new tooling, real investment in headcount and capability - and a hire where you'll have meaningful influence over how pricing is done, not just maintain what's already there.
What you'll do
* Own rate proposals end-to-end - from analysis of mix, demand and loss ratio trends through to implementation - and be accountable for the performance they deliver.
* Shape pricing strategy with direct input from competitor and market intelligence, rather than simply executing decisions made above you.
* Lead on new product, deal and offer evaluation, working cross-functionally to bring commercial ideas to life.
* Drive fair value principles through every pricing decision, with a focus on outcomes for existing customers as much as new business.
* Present complex analysis to senior stakeholders in a way that lands commercially and drives buy-in.
* Help build a high-performing team around you, supporting and developing junior analysts as the function grows.
What we're looking for
* Solid insurance pricing experience, ideally in personal lines or retail.
* Degree (2:1 or above) in a numerate discipline.
* Proficiency in R, Python or similar, with strong statistical modelling skills.
* The ability to turn analytical output into clear commercial recommendations - and to make that case in a room.
* Confident stakeholder management, with experience influencing at a senior level.
* A collaborative mindset and the credibility to mentor others in a growing team.
* Hybrid working applies, with a mix of home and office-based collaboration.
If you're looking for a principal-level pricing role where the function is genuinely evolving and your work will shape it, we'd be keen to speak.
Salary: £70,000-80,000 base, plus discretionary bonus
Location: Hybrid, Manchester Based.
