Summary Generated by Built In

We’re on a mission to make migration easy.

We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans.

But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones.

To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest.

We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the place for you.

You’ll act as the Pricing Function Holder for Marshmallow Insurance Ltd, taking accountability for the integrity and adequacy of the pricing framework and ensuring it meets relevant regulatory requirements for a Gibraltar-domiciled insurer.

You’ll work closely with teams across the business to connect technical actuarial work with real commercial outcomes.

  • You think commercially and analytically, connecting actuarial decisions to business outcomes, and move confidently between deep technical work and strategic thinking.
