Job Description

Pricing Data Scientist (Actuarial)

London (4 days per week)

Are you a Data Scientist with a background as an Actuary?

Do you want to work in a high-impact hub team that optimises modelling processes and applies Bayesian techniques to commercial insurance?

We are looking for a skilled Data Scientist to join a centralised team, collaborating with Data Scientists, Python developers, Actuaries and senior insurance experts to drive innovation in pricing and risk assessment by developing GLM, Gradient Boost, Bayesian and Linear Regression models for pricing models.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Enhancing actuarial models with advanced statistical and machine learning techniques.
  • Developing and optimising pricing models using R, tidyverse, Python, and cloud-based tools like AWS and Snowflake.
  • Working on a variety of global commercial lines projects, with some exposure to personal lines.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders across the business to improve modelling processes and decision-making.
  • Supporting the integration of Bayesian models into the pricing framework.

What We’re Looking For:

Must have:

  • Actuarial background with (ideally a fully or partially qualified Actuary) (eg – FIA, AIA, CERA, FSA etc or equivalent)
  • 3+ years of practical experience with R, Tidyverse

Bonus if you have:

  • Experience with modern cloud technologies (AWS, Snowflake, etc.).
  • Strong coding and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work on complex modelling challenges.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
