P&U Job Description
About Us
At Direct Line Group, insurance is just the start. Combining decades of industry experience with talented people in every field, we're a customer-obsessed market powerhouse. And we all work together to be brilliant for customers, every single day.
Pricing and Underwriting is a complicated world, where historical data, geospatial information, and mathematical models meet talented analysts. Pricing our products is a fine line between balancing our business goals and customer needs. That's why our Pricers and Underwriters are the best of the best. They reduce risk and predict future events ensuring our business can continue to grow whilst each and every one of our consumers gets the best price.
Join us as a Senior Data Scientist in our Motor Retail Pricing team.
What you'll be doing
In this role, you'll use statistical and machine learning techniques to analyse and model insurance data. Working closely with actuaries, underwriters, and data scientists to develop pricing models that accurately reflect risk and customer behaviours. Additionally, you'll seek out new opportunities to apply data science techniques to insurance and support those around you to grow and develop, sharing your expertise and best practices with the wider business.
Working in an agile way means you'll take charge early on, soak up new experiences and most importantly you'll positively influence and shape what we do - making an impact on our customers' lives. We'll utilise your skills where they are most needed whilst also giving you the opportunity to build and grow the breadth of your expertise.
Due to the requirements for this role, previous experience within insurance/pricing is essential.
