🚀 About the Team
The Underwriting team at Wakam lies at the core of strategic decision-making and risk analysis. Our mission? To develop pricing strategies and risk frameworks that ensure profitable, sustainable, and competitive insurance solutions for our partners.
We blend actuarial science, data analytics, and innovation to build cutting-edge products across Europe — from Motor and Home to Pet, A&H, and Extended Warranty. We partner closely with MGAs, reinsurers, and internal teams to bring our vision to life.
🎯 Your Mission
As a Pricing Actuary / Pricing Lead you will play a pivotal role in delivering Wakam’s UK pricing across products including Motor, Home, Pet, and SME insurance. You will lead the development and implementation of data-driven pricing frameworks, ensuring alignment with business objectives, market dynamics, and regulatory expectations.
This role combines strategic thinking, hands-on technical delivery, and strong stakeholder management—internally and externally.
✏️ Your Responsibilities
Pricing Strategy
You execute pricing strategies to deliver profitable growth and market competitiveness. You collaborate with distribution partners (including MGAs) to understand market needs, refine pricing models, and design tailored solutions. You carry out statistical risk modelling, define target profitability and pricing criteria, and implement pricing models—often via APIs through Wakam’s platform or in coordination with partners.
Portfolio Management & Analytics
You develop management information and run ad-hoc analyses to support key decisions. You monitor and optimise portfolio performance, contribute to improved forecasting, and conduct regular reviews of pricing structures, profitability, and customer segmentation—taking into account competitor pricing, claims trends, and regulatory updates.
Technical Pricing
You design, implement, and enhance pricing models using actuarial and statistical methods. You monitor model performance and recalibrate when needed, and you investigate innovative technical solutions to complex business problems. You also perform peer reviews of MGA pricing proposals to ensure technical robustness and consistency.
Stakeholder & Partner Management
You collaborate with MGAs and internal teams to support pricing decisions, product design, and portfolio management. You present results internally and to distributors, communicate complex pricing topics to non-technical audiences, and ensure pricing strategies remain compliant with applicable UK regulatory requirements.
🧠 What You Bring
Essential
- Experience in pricing roles within the UK insurance market, covering Motor, Home and/or SME.
- Strong understanding of UK market dynamics and the regulatory framework.
- Demonstrable proficiency in actuarial techniques and pricing modelling.
- Experience with P&C pricing tools (e.g., AKUR8, RADAR, EARNIX or equivalent).
- Strong programming skills in SQL and/or Python.
- Experience with machine learning approaches and data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
- Proven track record of leading pricing projects and/or teams.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Strong commercial acumen and strategic thinking.
Desirable
- Actuarial qualification (FIA/FFA) or progress toward qualification (ideal but not required).
- Experience working with MGAs or within a B2B2C insurance model.
✨ Who You Are
You combine rigour and analytical excellence with pragmatic execution. You are solutions-oriented, intellectually curious, and comfortable challenging the status quo when needed. You thrive in a fast-paced, international environment and communicate clearly across a wide range of stakeholders. You take ownership of outcomes, act with high integrity, and bring resilience and positive energy to your work.
✨ 🤖 AI & Digital Mindset
You are comfortable with modern data tooling and automation, and you enjoy building repeatable, auditable analysis workflows. You’re curious about advanced analytics and AI when they add measurable value (segmentation, monitoring, decision support), while maintaining high standards for traceability, explainability, and governance.
🌟 Why Join Wakam?
You’ll join a leading European embedded insurer where pricing has direct impact and visibility. You’ll work on diverse UK products, collaborate with a broad ecosystem (including MGAs), and help build scalable, data-driven pricing frameworks in a regulated context.
