Vehicle Analyst in Leicester

Role Overview

We are entering a period where cars will develop faster in the next 10 years than they have in the past 50 years. This new role focuses on building Hastings knowledge and understanding of these developments, and how they are interpreted into vehicle risk selection and the terms applied.

The Vehicle Data Analyst role will play a part in the growing Vehicle Underwriting team at Hastings tasked with gaining a greater understanding of the rapidly changing vehicle industry and UK car parc.

Responsibilities

With a collaborative team around you (reporting to the Vehicle Underwriting Manager), your role is to influence and innovate in our vehicle related decision making. Everything we do starts and ends with our data and vehicle knowledge, so whether it’s by drawing insights from it, exploring new ways of how we use it, or finding value in more that we can add to it, you’ll be up close and personal with the work that makes a direct impact on the day‑to‑day success of the business.

You’ll collaborate with other areas of our department and company to bring a new source to life and will have the opportunity to own/share ideas to executive level to make real impactful changes.

However far we delve into the data, we feel it’s important to keep sight of the bigger picture; we’re looking for people who are comfortable and confident with numerical and statistical information, that are able to explain what they are seeing with a range of detail to stakeholders.

We want you to take the initiative, be accountable and honest for the approaches you take.

If you’re interested in data & vehicles with the right mindset & curiosity, we want to hear from you!
