About Us
At Direct Line Group, insurance is just the start. Combining decades of industry experience with talented people in every field, we’re a customer-obsessed market powerhouse. And we all work together to be brilliant for customers, every single day.
Pricing and Underwriting is a complicated world, where historical data, geospatial information, and mathematical models meet talented analysts. Pricing our products is a fine line between balancing our business goals and customer needs. That’s why our Pricers and Underwriters are the best of the best. They reduce risk and predict future events ensuring our business can continue to grow whilst each and every one of our consumers gets the best price.
Join us as a Pricer in our Motor Manufacturing Tribe. This role will sit within the Pricing Adequacy squad, and will work collaboratively with colleagues in Claims, Business Partnering and Reserving, as well as with our partner Motability.

Your main responsibilities will include:
* Maintaining the Pricing-owned projection of ultimate claim costs in Python, using the latest transactional claim data, insight from other teams, and your own experience and judgement.
* Supporting our partners, the charity Motability, with insight into claims and risk mix trends, helping them to effectively manage insurance risk on one of the largest motor fleets in the world.
What you’ll need
* A familiarity with motor claims, Python and reserving techniques would be beneficial.
* General insurance pricing/reserving experience (ideally personal lines motor) or previous experience in an analytical role.
* Excellent problem solving skills, with an ability to consider multiple scenarios and anticipate outcomes for our customers.
* Familiarity with SQL and Python.
* Strong communication and presentation skills, with an ability to explain findings to both a technical and non-technical audience.
