You will work alongside actuaries, data scientists, engineers, and insurance specialists, and will be supported by PwC’s onshore and offshore Technology and AI Centres of Excellence.
What Your Days Will Look Like
Leading the design and delivery of AI-enabled solutions, from problem definition through to deployment, across insurance pricing, reserving, capital modelling, finance transformation and risk analytics.
Shaping solution architectures for Generative AI and agentic systems, including decisions around data, models, orchestration, controls and integration into existing platforms.
Working hands‑on with technical teams (engineers, data scientists, actuaries) to translate vision into buildable, testable and scalable solutions.
Navigating fast‑moving technology landscapes, assessing emerging tools and approaches, and making informed trade‑offs between innovation, risk, cost and time‑to‑value.
Qualifications & Experience
Strong experience delivering technology‑enabled transformation in insurance or financial services, with clear hands‑on involvement in solution design and delivery.
Practical experience with modern AI and analytics approaches, such as Generative AI, large language model‑based systems, agentic or decision‑automation architectures, and advanced analytics and modelling in regulated environments.
Understanding of how AI solutions are built and operated, including data pipelines, feature engineering, model lifecycle management, and integration with enterprise systems and workflows.
Comfortable making architectural and design decisions in complex, rapidly evolving environments.
Understanding of insurance finance, actuarial, pricing, risk or capital to design solutions that work in practice.
Ability to lead technical teams, providing direction, challenge and structure without needing to be the deepest specialist.
