The Opportunity
We are looking for a Pricing or Portfolio Analyst on a permanent basis to join our Delegated Authority team with a specific focus on helping to deliver profitable growth across our International Property portfolio. The portfolio contains a diverse group of products, primarily small commercial and homeowners with numerous niche or stand-alone coverages. In this role you will play a key part in developing and maintaining reporting tools, analysing and optimising each of our products and communicating your insights to the remainder of the Underwriting team. This is a collaborative position where your analytical skills and ability to communicate complex findings will help shape the future of our products and support QBE’s commitment to excellence and market leadership. The successful applicant will sit within the Underwriting team itself and have direct exposure to front line decisions made as result of their findings.
Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.
About QBE
At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.
We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.
What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.
Your new role:
- Analyse performance metrics for the portfolio and individual products to ensure alignment with business objectives and strategic plans.
- Conduct detailed segmental analysis to identify key performance drivers, uncover opportunities for growth and highlight potential risks within each product.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the business to gather data, agree on analytical approaches, communicate findings and provide actionable recommendations.
- Take ownership of maintenance and development of reporting tools within the immediate area of the business.
- Utilise advanced data manipulation tools to generate new insights, share findings through dashboards and ad-hoc reports to inform decision-making.
- Ensure full compliance with QBE’s standards, processes, policies and uphold relevant regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
About you:
- Experience in analysing and interpreting large, complex datasets to inform business decisions.
- Experience working in the insurance sector is preferable, ideally with exposure to pricing or data analytics relative to property.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to present findings clearly and influence stakeholders at all levels, both directly and indirectly.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, SQL, Tableau, Python and Alteryx with capability to create insightful reports and dashboards.
- Collaborative mindset, ability to work effectively with colleagues from diverse business areas to achieve shared objectives.
- Applicants must have the right to work in the UK as visa sponsorship is not available for this role
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.
