* Build organisation‑wide alignment behind the pricing vision, influencing at Executive and Board level.
* Track emerging customer behaviours and market trends to inform forward‑looking strategy.
* Maintain strong external partnerships to support sustainable growth.
* Build and empower high‑performing, engaged teams with strong succession pipelines, championing an inclusive, collaborative, one‑team culture, while setting stretching objectives, coaching for high performance and holding teams accountable.


⭐ What do I need to succeed?

* A proven leader in Personal Lines pricing, bringing deep expertise in general insurance pricing, underwriting principles, and advanced statistical, mathematical and modelling techniques.
* A strategic change‑maker with a strong record of shaping and delivering transformational programmes, crafting long‑term strategies and business cases, and turning customer behaviour, emerging trends and broad research into powerful, insight‑led recommendations.
* A collaborative force who thrives in cross‑functional environments, aligns diverse teams behind shared goals, and builds influential relationships with senior stakeholders across and beyond the organisation.
* A compelling and inclusive communicator, able to engage, influence and challenge peers, executives and external partners with clarity, confidence and credibility.
