Pricing Analyst
This is a role within the Actuarial pricing team of a leading Lloyd’s insurance company and will suit a student actuary working in general insurance. Prior experience working in a pricing team would be advantageous but not essential.
The Pricing team works closely with underwriting teams to provide case pricing support and build pricing models that allow underwriters to price, compare and monitor accounts. This involves incorporating within pricing models the modelling of key drivers of claims activity for different classes to enable assessment of the expected profitability of different accounts.
The Pricing Analyst will support the pricing team in account pricing, model development and pricing analytics primarily for Chaucer’s Property, Political Violence, Political Risk and Credit portfolios but also including our other classes and broader project work.
Actuarial study support towards Institute and Faculty of Actuaries qualification will be provided for this role.
The Pricing Analyst will be located within the Actuarial pricing team in London and work directly with the Pricing Actuary responsible for the Property, Political Violence, Political Risk and Credit divisions.
Main Duties
- Develop an understanding of the Property, Political Violence, Political Risk and Credit classes, trends and underwriting team strategy
- Account pricing and underwriter support for broker negotiations
- Ongoing portfolio monitoring for accounts and overall portfolio
- Contributing ideas for new MI
- Support model recalibration reviews
- Support the collection and maintenance of pricing data
- Keep abreast of industry initiatives and develop knowledge of new pricing/visualisation techniques and best practice where opportunities arise
- Collaborate, present and share knowledge with the wider Actuarial team on pricing approaches
- Assistance for other pricing team activities as required
