It’s an exciting time for us here at Hastings Direct as we work towards becoming the best and biggest digital insurer in the UK. To support that, we are expanding our Retail Pricing team, and are looking for a creative, curious and customer-focussed Data Scientist to join us.
We operate in one of the most competitive, data-rich marketplaces in the world and everything we do begins and ends with our data, whether it is retraining existing models to capture latest trends or developing new features to improve our predictions, you'll be up close and personal with the work that makes a direct impact on the day-to-day success of the business.

We’re a fast moving, agile business, always looking to do something new, so you’ll need to be comfortable working with multiple stakeholders and enthusing them with your ideas and insights.
What’s in it for you:
Did we mention data, lots of it, and the latest tools and technologies to play with it? What about the high-calibre team of experienced analysts and data scientists you’ll be working with and learning from?
