We've partnered with a leading personal lines insurer to help them find a standout Lead Pricing Analyst to join their Home Pricing team. If you're passionate about data innovation and want to drive tangible improvements in pricing sophistication, this could be your ideal next move. Why This Role Stands Out: Big focus on external & geospatial data You'll lead the exploration and integration of new datasets-external and geospatial-to enhance pricing models, drive profitable growth, and bring new capabilities into the business. Strategic and technical balance This isn't a back-office modelling role. You'll be hands-on with pricing models and data, but also responsible for building business cases, presenting insights to senior stakeholders, and helping shape pricing strategy. Tools & Tech You'll work with GLMs and machine learning techniques using modern tools like R, Python, and actuarial pricing software. There's strong backing to innovate, test new approaches, and implement scalable solutions. Real impact in a supportive culture This is a business where pricing is seen as a growth driver-not just a compliance function. Your recommendations will directly influence commercial outcomes. What You'll Be Doing: Leading research into external and geospatial data to improve pricing models Building modelling frameworks to assess the value of new datasets Developing cost-benefit cases and supporting procurement of key data assets Conducting advanced pricing analyses and presenting clear, strategic insights Enhancing geospatial capabilities across risk selection, monitoring, and pricing Collaborating with legal, compliance, and external suppliers For more information please apply.
