Head of Pricing & Analytics Finland

Do you believe mathematics is not only about numbers, equations, computations and algorithms – but about understanding the world around us? 

… then you might be our new leader for our Finnish Pricing & Analytics unit. Great pricing combines risk insight, mathematical models, customer needs, and market dynamics. It is also essential to deliver on our ambitions: ensuring fair pricing, avoiding underpriced segments, and balancing growth with profitability in smart, customer-friendly ways. 

We are seeking a leader for the Pricing & Analytics Finland team. This team manages pricing technology and methodology, renewal pricing processes, and customer-level pricing elements. As the team leader, you will participate in the Nordic Pricing & Analytics Management team, contributing to the development of the pricing agenda at If. At the local level, you will expand the team to address market requirements and the needs of customers and internal stakeholders. Additionally, you will be part of the Finnish Product & Price organization in matrix, providing input on pricing practices across the private portfolio in Finland and facilitating collaboration among analysts across teams.

You’ll experience:

• A role at the core of insurance and how we create value 

• Many opportunities to impact financial results 

• Using math for meaningful impact 

• Development of people and methods 

• A culture where insight and collaboration matter more than hierarchy

In the same way that we place high demands on you as an employee, we also expect you to place high demands on us as an employer. Here are some of the benefits of working at If: 

• An including work environment where everyone is welcome 

• Career and development opportunities in the biggest insurance company in the Nordics 

• Social activities, as well as highly skilled professional environment 

• Possibility of hybrid workplace 

• Health promoting workplace with e.g., wellness allowance and various sports activities 

• Great insurance benefits

You will join the Pricing and Analytics department as a team leader for a group of data science and analytics specialists. This department is part of Product & Price, which manages the profit and loss of Private, oversees the customer offering, and coordinates activities in each local market. The wider Pricing & Analytics organization is Nordic and consists of engaged colleagues with expertise in areas such as actuarial mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence. Collaboration with other departments in the Baltics and in Hastings (UK insurer) is part of the role, and we develop what we work on and how we do so continuously.

As a member of the local Finnish Product & Price management team you will also be involved in ensuring excellent customer outcomes in the local market and in how we reach our financial targets – a duality in the role which gives unique challenges and opportunities to have an impact and build your knowledge and network.

You consistently demonstrate responsibility and reliability in delivering results, both independently and through the team you lead. You are curious, which will enable you to understand the complicated world of insurance risk pricing. As a leader, you set direction for your team and clarify roles and objectives. You encourage open communication and participation, supporting both individual and professional development. You focus on continuous improvement and support the well-being of team members. You are inspired by the opportunities to have a positive impact on our customers – and on our financial results.

We believe you’ll thrive in this role if you have... 

• Master or higher level education in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, computer science or engineering.

• Proven experience and strong track record in modelling statistics, analytics or data science ideally within the insurance or finance with a minimum of 3 years of experience.

• Leadership experience – at a minimum significant project management experience while managing other colleagues’ time and work. Line management experience is a plus, not a must.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think analytically
