You’ll be an innovative and collaborative commercial leader who combines sound judgement with curiosity and is comfortable challenging established thinking. And, you’ll lead a talented team, building strong reinsurance partnerships and using data, analytics and AI to improve pricing decisions, customer journeys and commercial performance.

• Lead, coach and develop our Pricing & Reinsurance team.
• Set pricing strategy across intermediary and bancassurance propositions, balancing customer value, competitiveness and sustainable returns.
• Use customer, market and competitor insight to identify opportunities for growth.
• Lead reinsurance relationships and negotiations, making effective decisions on risk transfer and self-insurance.
• Work with Underwriting Strategy and Proposition teams to deliver strong customer and commercial outcomes.
• Use data, advanced analytics and AI to strengthen segmentation, customer journeys, conversion and pricing capability.

Why join us?

You’ll join one of the UK’s leading Protection businesses in a role that brings together pricing, reinsurance, innovation and leadership. Your work will shape important decisions, develop future capability and help more customers and families gain financial protection.

What you’ll bring

• Senior-level experience in pricing, commercial strategy, actuarial or reinsurance roles.
• Strong commercial judgement and an understanding of how pricing supports growth, profitability and customer outcomes.
• The ability to translate complex customer, market and analytical insight into clear action.
