The team works in close collaboration with stakeholders across Risk, Reinsurance, Data, Underwriting, and Partner Management, and plays a key role in ensuring our Motor business remains sustainable, competitive, and scalable across markets.

🎯 Your Mission

As a Motor Pricing Contractor (Individual Contributor), you will deliver pricing and portfolio analysis work across the UK & Rest of Europe scope (excluding France).

Your core objective is to secure profitability and strengthen technical portfolio management through robust pricing, performance monitoring, and actionable recommendations.

You will operate with a high level of autonomy, taking ownership of projects end-to-end — from analysis and recommendation to deliverables ready for committee review and implementation.

✏️ Your Responsibilities

End-to-End Pricing & Portfolio Projects

You will independently manage projects covering:

• New contract pricing: profitability analyses, scenario testing, and pricing recommendations tailored to partner needs and constraints.

• Optimisation of existing portfolios: performance diagnostics, identification of key drivers (mix effects, claims trends, inflation, drifts), pricing action proposals, and impact monitoring over time.

• Pricing tools & technical assets: maintenance and targeted improvements of datasets, models, scripts, and profitability reports, ensuring quality, consistency of definitions, and reproducibility.

• Partner reviews & committees: preparation of review packs and quantified analyses to support partner discussions and internal governance.

✅ Expected Deliverables

You will produce ready-to-use, auditable deliverables that can be used in governance settings and handed over smoothly, including:

• Pricing notes and recommendations

• Portfolio performance analyses and diagnostics

• Committee materials (slides + appendices)

• Quantified outputs (tables, scripts, queries) with light documentation enabling reuse and handover

🧠 What You Bring

You bring strong technical foundations and relevant market expertise, including:

• Proven expertise in Motor pricing, either in European markets and/or the UK

• Experience in Italy and/or Spain is a strong plus

• Excellent actuarial and analytical skills, with the ability to produce robust, decision-grade analyses

• Ability to deliver committee-ready outputs, with structured narratives, clear assumptions, quantified impacts, and traceability

• Comfort working with stakeholders across Risk, Reinsurance, and Data, and translating technical work into actionable recommendations

✨ Who You Are

You are likely to thrive in this contractor role if you are:

• Highly autonomous, with a strong sense of ownership and delivery discipline

• Structured and rigorous, especially on auditability, consistency, and reproducibility

• Pragmatic and impact-oriented, focused on what truly drives profitability and can be implemented effectively

• Comfortable operating in a multi-stakeholder environment, and able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences
