Portfolio Manager | Prestigious Specialty Insurance
Leeds | Hybrid
Up to £75,000 + 25% bonus
I’m working with a leading global specialty insurer that is continuing to invest in its UK Portfolio Management capability and is looking to appoint a Portfolio Manager into a newly developed and highly visible function.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong actuarial/pricing background who wants to move beyond traditional pricing and have a genuine influence on underwriting strategy, portfolio performance and decision-making.
The role will take a lead across pricing model calibration and segmentation analysis, working closely with senior stakeholders including the UK CUO, underwriting product heads and actuarial teams.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key areas of focus will include:
- Leading the development, calibration and refinement of technical pricing models across multiple lines of business
- Analysing portfolio performance at class and segment level to identify trends, growth opportunities and areas requiring attention
- Providing actionable insights to help shape underwriting strategy
- Supporting portfolio optimisation through data and advanced analytics
- Developing tools and analysis that enable smarter underwriting decisions
- Working closely with actuarial, underwriting, claims and operations teams
- Contributing to predictive modelling and wider portfolio analytics

I’m particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have strong technical actuarial skills, experience developing and calibrating pricing models and a good understanding of specialty insurance.
You’ll need to be comfortable working with large and complex datasets, but just as importantly, be able to turn analysis into clear commercial recommendations and confidently engage with senior stakeholders.
A really interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys the intersection of pricing, analytics and underwriting strategy and wants to have a broader impact on how a portfolio is managed.
If you’d like to hear more, please get in touch with me directly for a confidential conversation.
