  • Working with the Business Insights Team, develop a suite of metrics to monitor exposure / portfolio performance.
  • Undertake reviews of Underwriting's pricing of individual complex / large scale projects.
  • Help mentor and develop junior analysts, with potential for line management responsibilities over time.

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with great attention to detail.
  • Confident communicator who can explain complex concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Background in general insurance (personal lines or London Market experience a plus).
  • A proactive, open-minded approach; someone who enjoys challenging the norm and improving how things are done.
