The Opportunity

Do you enjoy solving complex problems through data and analytics?

Join QBE Portfolio Solutions (QPS) within our Scout: Research & Insights team, where you'll work at the heart of a growing analytics function supporting underwriting and portfolio decision-making. Working alongside teams across pricing, cat modelling, Data & AI and the wider business, you'll use data to uncover insights, support predictive analytics initiatives and help shape the future of decision-making across QPS.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong analytical foundations who is eager to develop their career in a highly collaborative and innovative environment.

Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.

Your New Role

  • Analyse large and complex datasets to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Support the development of statistical models and predictive analytics solutions.
  • Work closely with underwriting teams to provide data-driven insights that support portfolio and underwriting decisions.
  • Use Databricks and SQL to interrogate, manipulate and analyse data.
  • Partner with teams across pricing, cat modelling, Data & AI and the wider QPS function.
  • Contribute to portfolio analysis, research and insight projects.
  • Support the development of analytical workflows and tools.
  • Translate data into meaningful insights and recommendations for stakeholders.
  • Participate in innovation and technology-led initiatives across the analytics function.
  • Continuously develop knowledge of data, analytics and insurance markets.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
