This is a great job for someone who enjoys leading a team of pricing experts while also remaining hands-on in delivering customer and commercial value.

If you're passionate about developing pricing talent, naturally curious, commercially minded, and enjoy seeing ideas move from concept to delivery, this could be an excellent opportunity. You'll work with a fast, flexible and custom-built rating engine, helping shape pricing decisions that support both customer outcomes and business growth.

A bit about the job:

You'll join Darwin, a tech-led motor insurance business built by a small, entrepreneurial team with big ambitions. As part of Aviva, Darwin combines the agility and innovation of a start-up with the scale, support and stability of a major insurer.

The role sits at the heart of Darwin's Pricing & Underwriting team, where you'll lead a team of pricing experts and help shape the future of insurance pricing through modern tools, data-driven insight and innovation. You'll identify opportunities, develop pricing solutions and drive pricing innovation, while taking end-to-end ownership of customer pricing across both risk and margin. The role is accountable for driving profitable growth, delivering strong customer outcomes and leading, developing and inspiring a high-performing pricing team.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Proven experience leading and developing pricing teams, including coaching, mentoring and performance management.

• Strong pricing and analytical capability, with experience in statistical modelling, portfolio optimisation and data-driven decision-making.

• Advanced SQL, Python and Excel skills, alongside a strong understanding of, or ambition to develop expertise across, the end-to-end insurance pricing process from analysis through to deployment and monitoring.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and build effective relationships across Pricing, Underwriting, Trading, Data Science and Technology teams.

• Proven experience delivering complex pricing initiatives from concept through to implementation, balancing customer outcomes, commercial performance and strategic objectives.

What you’ll get for this role:

Our purpose - with you today, for a better tomorrow – is a promise we make to our colleagues too.  And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you.  We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.

• Starting salary Circa £125,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)

• Bonus opportunity - 12% of annual salary, (actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s.)

• Generous pension scheme - e.g. if you put in 8%, Aviva adds 14%

• 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days

• Aviva-funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it

• Make your money go further - Up to 40% discount on Aviva products, and other retailer discounts

• Up to £1,200 of free Aviva shares per year through our Matching Share Plan and share in the success of Aviva with our Save As You Earn scheme

• Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer’s leave

• Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work

• Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others
