Pricing Analyst in Glasgow

We’re excited to offer a full-time, permanent Pricing Analyst role within AXA Commercial in Glasgow or Gloucester. In this crucial position, you’ll be responsible for analysing performance data and recommending pricing and underwriting adjustments for products across Property, Casualty, and Motor classes. By examining key internal and external data sources, you’ll play a vital role in driving strategic pricing and underwriting changes. Your insights will help us seize opportunities for growth and development in the fast-evolving SME marketplace, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve in this dynamic industry.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You’ll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and deliver pricing and underwriting reviews for Property, Casualty, and Motor products across open market, direct, and software house markets.
• Monitor and analyse product performance regularly, focusing on GWP, new business, conversion, retention, loss ratio, and COR, with reports and trend insights.
• Review underwriting criteria, question sets, and rating structures, providing recommendations for improvements and implementation.
• Incorporate competitor monitoring data and external risk insights into pricing and underwriting strategies.
• Maintain governance documentation for rate tables, structures, algorithms, and price changes to ensure proper approval processes.
• Suggest product development changes in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to support growth and profitability.
• Manage rating changes through the IT change process, ensuring accurate updates across all systems, and act as a point of contact for IT issues.
• Support the development of advanced rating engines to enhance product offerings and support strategic goals.
