With a clear focus on customers rather than shareholders, the team’s work has real impact, supporting local communities, protecting livelihoods, and helping our UK-wide Agency Network deliver exceptional service. Our Pricing team is central to how we support our customers, and its role is becoming even more crucial.
The team is expanding and creating exciting opportunities to join at a pivotal moment.

Using your deep technical expertise across pricing disciplines, utilising best practice, you’ll design the logic behind pricing decisions, transforming pricing strategy into structured, tested and governed rating systems. You’ll lead complex development work, support IT change, remediation activities and investigations, act as an escalation point for technical queries, and ensure pricing outputs meet regulatory, business and customer expectations.
You’ll work closely with stakeholders across Pricing, Underwriting, IT and wider departments, influencing decisions through insight and expertise. Alongside hands-on delivery, you’ll act as a technical role model, supporting colleagues through coaching, mentoring and change.

About you:
This is a senior technical role offering hands-on development opportunities, where you’ll play a key part in driving improvements in pricing capability, tools and ways of working.

You're confident leading technical work, acting as a subject matter expert, coaching and supporting colleagues, and building effective relationships with stakeholders across the business. You combine strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on quality, governance and regulatory compliance, and can translate complex technical outputs into clear, actionable insight. You’re also comfortable working with data, including preparation, validation and querying, while continuously developing your own expertise and contributing to positive change within the team.
