- Strong technical capability in tools such as Python, SQL, Tableau, or similar, with experience extracting insights from complex datasets.
- A strong understanding of, or desire to develop expertise in, end-to-end insurance pricing from data through to deployment.
What you’ll get for this role:
- Starting salary up to c. £90,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications).
- Bonus opportunity - 10% of annual salary, (actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s).
