Full-time
Cardiff (Hybrid)
The Company
Rostella is based in the heart of Cardiff and provides quality car insurance services to car insurance provider Hedgehog in the UK, and more recently travel insurance services to 1Cover in Australia. This means we provide a range of functions including customer service, claims handling, underwriting, pricing and other car insurance related functions. We're a data-driven, agile company where everyone is expected to come up with ideas and help implement them to continually improve what we do and how we do it. Our aim is to create and maintain an industry-leading customer experience.
Rostella provides services to both Hedgehog and 1Cover with both companies looking to grow their businesses. We have an exciting opportunity for an Analyst to join our Pricing team, developing and implementing pricing strategies using sophisticated data and analytics.
