Pricing Manager - Travel in Cardiff

Admiral is currently recruiting for a Pricing Manager within our Travel Insurance department. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to step into a key leadership role at a pivotal stage of growth.

This role follows a hybrid model, with a requirement to be in our Cardiff office once a week.

At Admiral, Pricing has always been a fundamental cornerstone of our success. While the wider travel industry remains relatively simple in its pricing approach, often relying on basic tools and limited data, we have a unique opportunity to lead the way. By leveraging Admiral’s group-wide pricing capabilities, we aim to build more advanced, data‑driven pricing strategies and create a sustainable competitive advantage.

We’re looking for an ambitious and forward‑thinking pricing leader who is passionate about challenging the status quo within the travel insurance space. You’ll lead one of our key pricing pillars, managing a team of analysts while shaping rating structures, exploring new data sources, strengthening controls, and driving innovation across pricing.

• Oversee end‑to‑end rate changes, ensuring accurate implementation and strong governance
• Improve data quality and insight to support better decision‑making
• Coordinate prioritisation, delivery and monitoring of pricing changes
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to ensure alignment and effective delivery
• Lead, coach and develop a high‑performing pricing team

• Proven leadership experience within Insurance Pricing, demonstrated experience
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to manage workload effectively for both yourself and your team, delivering high‑quality outputs
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, evolving environment

• Degree (2:1 or above) in a numerate subject (e.g. Mathematics, Engineering, Economics)
• Experience with programming tools such as SAS, SQL, BigQuery or similar (training provided)
• Self‑motivated with a proactive, solutions‑focused mindset

• Proven experience in Insurance Pricing, including development and optimisation of pricing or rating structures
• Proven leadership experience, managing and developing pricing teams
• Strong analytical capability, with experience using data, modelling and insight to drive pricing decisions
• Experience with pricing tools and programming languages (e.g. SAS, SQL, BigQuery) and a numerate degree (2:1 or above)
