We are currently recruiting for a Pricing Analyst to join our underwriting team. This role could be for somebody who is new to insurance or perhaps at the start of their career or seeking a change of direction or return to work.

The role is situated within Aviva Zero, which is a new Personal Lines insurer with the ambition to be the best in the market. It has the mentality of a start-up and the expertise, data, and financial backing of Aviva. With a focus on car insurance sold through price comparison websites, Aviva Zero will help to advance Aviva’s environmental sustainability agenda through its green proposition.

It focuses on problem solving, using data to identify improvements, and getting involved in innovative pricing models – don’t worry, we will train you in all these areas. We use data science driven analytics to give customers a price and product they are satisfied with, whilst also enabling Aviva to be profitable and grow.

We are seeking a Pricing Analyst to be a core part of this new team, representing an opportunity to be at the forefront of developing an insurance product, and shaping and delivering innovative pricing solutions.

If you are numerical and love data and statistics, this could be the role for you. The key is a desire to learn and develop, the ability to solve ill-defined problems and the curiosity and interpersonal skills to explain the story behind the numbers.

There will be a requirement to go into the London office x3 days per week.

What are the responsibilities?

As part of a highly motivated, multi-disciplinary team, you will spend your time problem-solving and delivering continual improvements to Aviva Zero. This will include product development, building and maintaining pricing models, identifying new opportunities, and collaborating closely with colleagues across the business to achieve profitable growth and deliver good customer outcomes.

What skills and experience do I need?

• Strong analytical and numerical skills

• A natural problem solver

• A quick and keen learner with attention to detail and accuracy

• An ability to handle and prioritise given workload within business objectives

• An ability to consider a range of potential outcomes, and the ‘so what?’ of a decision

• An enthusiastic and curious personality, unsatisfied with the ‘status quo’

• A degree or related work experience

What will I get from this role?

• Competitive salary of between £24,000 - £40,000 depending on skills, experience, and qualifications

• Generous contributory pension scheme (up to 14% employer contributions)

• Annual performance related bonus and pay review
