Valayo are working on a newly created Pricing Actuary role where you can work on some of the most interesting and emerging areas of the London Market.
This is a brand-new role within a growing pricing team, focused on opportunities that sit outside traditional insurance classes. Rather than being aligned to one established area like Property, Casualty or Marine, you will work across the portfolio, partnering with specialist businesses to bring new ideas to market and innovative products where pricing approaches often need to be built from scratch.
You will get exposure to areas that are viewed as giving the business a competitive advantage, including unique products, specialist partnerships and new markets that set them apart, such as emerging technology risks, climate-related solutions, energy transition and other developing areas of insurance.
The role is much more focused on bespoke deals and new opportunities rather than repeatedly pricing the same type of business. You will work on new classes and complex risks where there may not be much historical data or an existing pricing framework, giving you the opportunity to be creative with your approach and build solutions from the ground up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
You will help develop pricing approaches for new areas, combining technical modelling with judgement, data analysis and input from specialist underwriters. As these products grow, you will also get involved in monitoring performance and refining pricing approaches over time.
You will work closely with underwriting teams, brokers and senior stakeholders up to CUO level, with exposure to strategic decisions around which new markets, products and opportunities the business enters. The focus is on giving someone ownership and visibility while allowing them to remain close to technical pricing work.
