ABOUT HOMEPROTECT
Cover for Almost every Home
We founded Homeprotect on a simple principle - to provide protection to people underserved by the home insurance industry. Since 2002, we've been combining smart technology with real human expertise to protect hundreds of thousands of unique homes across the UK, and we're just getting started.
If you're someone who loves solving interesting problems, taking ownership and working with a team that aims high, speaks up and lifts each other, Homeprotect is a place where you can do meaningful work, grow your career and make a real difference for our customers.
What It's Like to Work Here
Our customers come from all walks of life and so do our people. We're a small but perfectly formed team of insurance specialists, technologists, data scientists and customer champions - all bringing individual expertise, an appetite for innovation and a shared ambition to protect the homes and things people love.
We work at pace, but we trust our people to work in a way that brings out their best. You'll collaborate closely across teams, have real ownership from day one and see the impact you have first-hand with flexible working to help you balance the needs of your role with the rhythm of your life.
We've been recognised as a Great Place to Work UK for seven consecutive years - most recently ranked 29th nationally, jumping 71 places in a single year.
ROLE PURPOSE
As Data & Decisioning Manager, you are the primary source of data insight and reporting for Homeprotect’s Home Claims function, with a specific focus on our Verisk supplier management platform. You will turn complex operational data into clear, actionable intelligence — helping the Supply Chain and Claims leadership team to manage supplier performance, control indemnity spend, and identify opportunities to improve outcomes for customers and the business.
You will work closely with colleagues across Supply Chain, Claims Operations and Finance, bringing rigour and curiosity to your analysis and confidence in presenting your findings to stakeholders at all levels.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own reporting and insight from the Verisk supplier management platform, ensuring data is accurate, timely and presented in a format that supports effective decision-making by the Supply Chain and Claims leadership teams.
- Develop and maintain dashboards, scorecards and performance reports covering key supplier metrics — including cost per claim, repair cycle times, SLA adherence, quality scores and customer satisfaction indicators.
- Proactively identify trends, anomalies and performance gaps across the supply chain, translating data signals into clear recommendations for action — whether that is supplier intervention, process change or commercial renegotiation.
- Support indemnity spend analysis and cost reduction initiatives by providing the analytical underpinning for supply chain decisions, including loss adjuster cost-benefit assessments and contractor performance benchmarking.
- Design and run ad hoc analytical projects at the request of Supply Chain, Claims or COO leadership — applying a range of quantitative approaches to answer business questions and stress-test assumptions.
- Act as the internal expert on Verisk platform data structures and reporting capabilities, working with the supplier and internal technology colleagues to maximise the value extracted from the system.
- Produce high-quality MI packs for the Claims Ratio Outcome Forum (MOCOF), Supply Chain governance reviews and SLT briefings, ensuring outputs are accurate, insightful and suitable for a senior audience.
- Support the embedding of data-led ways of working across the Supply Chain team, coaching colleagues on interpreting analytical outputs and building broader data literacy within the function.
- Maintain data integrity standards and governance controls around supply chain data, flagging data quality issues and working with internal and external stakeholders to resolve them promptly.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of the Supply Chain operating model by bringing insight-led challenge and supporting evidence-based decision making at all levels of the function.
