Junior Pricing Analyst London, England
Job description
Who are we?
We’re Policy Expert, a home and car insurance provider and we’re on a mission to shake up the personal insurance industry. We felt that insurers had underserved people for too long with confusing policies, expensive renewals and frustrating claims. It was time to put people first. Since our inception in 2011, we’ve used breakthrough thinking and proprietary tech to offer insurance that’s clear, fair and great value. And people like what we do. So much so, that last year we hit one million customers, driven by our double-digit growth.
The pricing team
We are the engine behind the business, collaborating closely with our data engineering, machine learning, marketing and wider tech teams to underpin the company's growth and footprint.
We’ve got a huge amount of backing from our leadership team, allowing us to make decisions quickly and react to an ever-changing market. This autonomy gives us the edge over competition and allows us to stay nimble as we scale.
As I’m sure that you are aware, data is key, that’s why we ingest huge amounts of it from various third parties. This gives us a crystal-clear picture of our customers, leading to a best-in-class loss ratio keeping us one step ahead of the market.
