We've been trading for about 18 months and already operating at financial breakeven, and we’re poised for substantial growth over the years ahead.
We put people first. It’s all about you.
We’re looking to hire an Underwriting & Pricing Analyst to join the UWI team. We’re not looking for lots of experience but you will have learnt the basics of underwriting, data analysis, modelling & pricing in a previous role and be looking to hone your skills in a high-growth insurance business.

* Whether through formal education or hands-on experience, you’ve developed a solid understanding of data analysis and are looking to grow your skills;
* A logical thinker with a numerate or analytical background (e.g. experience or education in areas such as Maths, Data Science, Economics, or related fields);
* Knowledge of SQL, Python, or big data tools is a plus but not required;
* Portfolio/risk modelling interests you and you want to develop this skill set further;
* Inquisitive with a passion for data and analysis;
* Strong commercial acumen with an understanding of the drivers of a P&L;
* Can work under guidance but enjoy autonomy;
* Love working in an ever-evolving environment where you can make a tangible impact without the barriers of high levels of bureaucracy;
* Have a talent for making complex concepts easy for others to understand;
* Are an empathetic team player who values diverse perspectives and contributions in collaborative environments;
* Embrace iteration, high-paced delivery, and are comfortable with change.
We welcome those with diverse backgrounds, and whether you’re early in your career or changing fields, we’d love to hear from you.

We deliver progress. What you’ll do and how you will make an impact.
As an Underwriting and Pricing Analyst you will be a key player in delivering a substantial and growing insurance portfolio by providing detailed insights and analysis. You will use your commercial and modelling skills to help optimise our margin capture across the insurance portfolio and support the team in highlighting commercial risks via sensitivity and scenario analysis.
