About the role

We are looking for a Pricing Platform Lead to drive the actuarial tool direction and governance, and spearhead the re-platforming, modernization and continuous improvement of our pricing tools. The role sits within the global technical pricing team and also requires close collaboration with key stakeholders within underwriting, our application team, Data, IT and others. The primary purpose of this role is to define, steer and validate the development of pricing tools to ensure they are integrated, robust, sound, efficient and fit for purpose. The role focuses on actuarial leadership and oversight, rather than hands‑on coding or system building.

Your responsibilities

• Support and drive the model modernization effort within and across MS AAG, collaborating within the pricing and development teams to migrate to the strategic Technical Pricing infrastructure
• Liaise with underwriting and pricing user communities to develop tool solutions aligned with business needs, workflows and priorities
• Work with Head of Technical Pricing to determine prioritisation process for continuous improvement of pricing tools
• Act as a subject  matter expert in conversations with all relevant stakeholders, including underwriting, our application team, Data and IT teams
• Ensure models meet the Reinsurance Pricing policy and standards in respect of technical pricing and rate monitoring
• Analyse external and internal data to support technical pricing models
• Arrange testing as part of release management, as well as delivery of underwriter training and production of documentation as required
• Ensure the pricing organisation is equipped with effective and user-friendly tools that support operational excellence and group objectives
• Provide pricing support during key renewal periods

Your profile

• 10 years + of relevant industry experience, with proven track record in the development of reinsurance pricing tools
• Project management skills and a strong agile experience
• Excellent understanding of non‑life reinsurance pricing methods and actuarial techniques
• Strong quantitative analytical and IT skills - particularly MS Excel, VBA and SQL experience desirable; programming (R or Python) and data visualisation tools (e.g. MS Power BI) would also be beneficial
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with multiple departments within the organisation
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to assess model appropriateness, interpret results, and challenge assumptions where necessary.
• Ability to work well under pressure and with attention to detail
• Must be well organized with the ability to use initiative and self-manage whilst being able to work effectively in a team environment
