Risk Insurance Manager - Pricing & Reserving (Home Based)
A pricing and reserving risk role with real breadth, real visibility and the chance to influence decisions rather than just report on them.
This is a high-impact second line position with a leading insurer, offering salary up to £75,000, bonus, pension and the flexibility to work mainly from home, with access to Leeds, Manchester or London as needed. You will sit in the Risk team, not in pricing or actuarial delivery and your role will be to review, challenge and support better decision-making across pricing, reserving and capital activity.
You will join an established Risk function in a role that keeps you close to the technical detail, but gives you a broader and more strategic view of the business. This is a strong move for someone who understands insurance numbers, assumptions and performance, and wants their work to influence bigger decisions.
The opportunity
This isn’t a role where you will be building models or setting prices day to day. You will provide independent oversight and challenge across pricing, reserving and capital activity, helping the business make sensible, well-governed decisions and raising issues where something doesn’t look right. You will work across Pricing, Underwriting, Actuarial, Finance and Risk, turning technical outputs into clear, practical messages that senior stakeholders can use.
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.
What you will be doing
- Providing effective second line oversight across pricing, reserving and related risk activity
- Reviewing assumptions, models, outputs and MI from Pricing, Underwriting, Actuarial and Finance
- Challenging constructively where governance, controls or decision-making need strengthening
- Translating technical analysis into clear, commercially useful risk insight
- Supporting senior stakeholders with practical views on profit, capital and risk implications
- Contributing to the ongoing development of risk frameworks, oversight capability and best practice
- Helping the business spot and manage risk earlier and more effectively
Who this could suit
- Someone from general insurance with experience in pricing, reserving, capital, actuarial work, underwriting performance or risk
- An analyst or actuary who wants more visibility and broader influence
- An underwriting or performance specialist used to reviewing portfolios, trends and outcomes
- A risk professional already providing oversight and challenge on technical insurance topics
- Someone who is comfortable with technical detail, but just as strong when explaining it simply
- A professional who can challenge senior people in a calm, constructive and credible way
