About the Role
We have an excellent new opportunity for an experienced professional to join our Loss Cost Modelling team, part of our wider Pricing Department.
In this role, you will lead the development, implementation, and testing of General Insurance pricing models for a defined product range.

You will be responsible for planning and defining price models tailored to specific market sectors, ensuring they are appropriately resourced and deliver the desired outcomes. This includes developing control cycles to test and refresh pricing models regularly, ensuring they remain effective and predictive. Collaborating closely with Underwriting, you will apply expert judgment to inform rates and rating logic with deep market insights.
The role involves identifying and testing data to enhance pricing model performance and predictiveness, as well as challenging the status quo to drive improvements, using different tools and methodologies. You will also build strong, collaborative relationships with the Risk and Street Pricing community, as well as Underwriting teams, to deliver pricing objectives effectively. If you have direct reports, you will lead, motivate, and support them to achieve their potential and contribute to the success of the business.
