t’s an exciting time for us here at Hastings Direct. Our Risk Pricing team is expanding in line with our ambition to be the Best and Biggest digital insurer in the UK, and with this growth in mind, we have an exciting opportunity for a curious, creative and data-driven character to dive into Risk Pricing – identifying opportunities to improve how we assess risk, to give a fairer price to our customers.

What you’ll do:

With a supportive, determined and driven team around you, your job is to influence and innovate in our decision making.

Everything we do starts and ends with our data, 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.

A day in the life might involve:

  • Perusing our reports for a lead that you can chase down.
  • Collaborating with other areas of our department to bring a new data source to life.
  • Owning and sharing your ideas at an executive level, making real change.
  • Discussing your novel insurance insights to update our processes.
  • Supporting junior analysts in their work for development together.

What you’ll have

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.

You’ll need some experience that we can translate into insurance, and we’d love it if you knew your way around an analytical programming environment, whether that be Python, R or any other language/toolkit that you use to find solutions.

Whilst the technical skills to yield results are a vital element of your skillset, we get excited when we see you get excited. We want you to take the initiative, be accountable and honest for the approaches you take and most importantly be passionate about the work you do.

Additionally, we are a platform for building future leaders, so we really value people who are committed to bringing benefit to those around them. You should be able to match your ambition with your ability to share (whether that’s your knowledge or even just your time) with our colleagues.

What you’ll get:

For us, flexibility is key. Alongside the financials of a pension contribution match up to 10%, 25 days of holiday (which you can buy or sell more of) and up to 5% bonus, we are an agile group that understands talent hasn’t got a template. Our team is spread across offices in London and Bexhill, with hybrid working options to suit you and variable hours, we can commit to moulding the role to you.
