Senior Pricing Analyst

Admiral has always considered our Pricing department to be a fundamental cornerstone of the successful growth of our business. As the market continues to evolve and we continue to develop the way we work, we are looking for driven, skilled, and experienced Pricing Analysts to join us. We have opportunities available in;

• Car Retail Pricing
• Car Risk Pricing
• Van Pricing 
• Cross-Product Pricing 
• Household Pricing 
• International Pricing 

Car Retail Pricing 

The focused Car Retail Pricing team is relatively new, and we’re looking for a Senior Pricing Analyst to support the establishment of this new team in a critical part of the business and to help set and drive the strategy of our Retail Pricing. The Retail Pricing team is responsible for a variety of topics, from understanding the market and our competitivity at new business, through to our specific renewal pricing, focussing on elements of pricing outside of claims risk prediction. 

The team works closely with other areas of the business to support the development of new products and offerings and to increase the profitability of the risks we write across all income streams.

Car Risk Pricing

The Car Risk Pricing team is responsible for calculating the price we charge to cover the risk of a customer making a claim in the future. We use data supplied to us by the customer and numerous internal and external data sources to set the most accurate price possible. We are constantly looking for ways to optimise our prices either through using new data or by maximising the use of existing data.

Van Pricing

Despite its impressive growth and progress since its launch in 2017, Admiral Van has very ambitious plans to grow further and is looking for a Senior Pricing Analyst to support our growth. The Van Pricing team is responsible for all aspects of setting the prices for our Van customers. This requires us to understand and consider a variety of topics, such as claims risk and profitability, combined with an awareness of the wider Van market in order to support the Van product in continued strong and profitable growth. 

Cross-Product Pricing

The Cross-Product Pricing team is responsible for pricing work that spans across all the Admiral products (Motor, Home, and Travel, etc.) and provides an excellent opportunity to learn about multiple pricing disciplines. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Pricing Analyst within the team. This role will support management in establishing and embedding the team, tackling some of the more complex analysis work. The successful candidate will have line management responsibility for Pricing Analysts. The role also requires having strong communication and collaboration with Data Protection and IT teams.

Household Pricing 

It’s an exciting time to be involved in Household at Admiral. Household Insurance is a key part of Admiral’s strategy for the upcoming years. In the 8 years since we launched our Household product, we have grown to over 1.1m customers and we are looking for talented Senior Pricing Analysts to join our Pricing team and help us drive forward our ambitions for further growth in this market.

International Pricing

Our International Pricing team is responsible for providing support and guidance to our businesses worldwide. Senior Pricing Analysts will work together with our colleagues and teams in the UK and overseas, running pricing models and using statistical tools to understand and analyse the numbers and make proposals to improve the pricing structure in our operations. Our new emerging products and overseas operations have ambitious growth plans and sharing best practices, innovation, and using knowledge and experience in one country to improve our risk selection and processes in other countries and entities plays a key role to be successful.

Main responsibilities for all Senior Pricing Analyst roles

• Analysing our pricing structures and past performance to improve risk selection
