- Deliver regular portfolio and product monitoring analyses to identify issues and opportunities, and support the design, execution, and tracking of portfolio action plans with underwriting teams.
- Analyse rate change, price adequacy, exposure growth, market conditions, competitive dynamics, and loss trends, clearly articulating drivers of portfolio performance.
- Maintain and enhance benchmarks and portfolio metrics, working closely with Product Pricing and Analytics teams, and support the ongoing development of pricing tools, models, data flows, and analytical capabilities.
