🚀 About the TeamThe Underwriting team at Wakam lies at the core of strategic decision-making and risk analysis. Our mission? To develop pricing strategies and risk frameworks that ensure profitable, sustainable, and competitive insurance solutions for our partners.
We blend actuarial science, data analytics, and innovation to build cutting-edge products across Europe — from Motor and Home to Pet, A&H, and Extended Warranty. We partner closely with MGAs, reinsurers, and internal teams to bring our vision to life.
As a Pricing Actuary / Pricing Lead you will play a pivotal role in delivering Wakam’s UK pricing across products including Motor, Home, Pet, and SME insurance. You will lead the development and implementation of data-driven pricing frameworks, ensuring alignment with business objectives, market dynamics, and regulatory expectations.
This role combines strategic thinking, hands-on technical delivery, and strong stakeholder management—internally and externally.
✏️ Your ResponsibilitiesPricing StrategyYou execute pricing strategies to deliver profitable growth and market competitiveness. You collaborate with distribution partners (including MGAs) to understand market needs, refine pricing models, and design tailored solutions. You carry out statistical risk modelling, define target profitability and pricing criteria, and implement pricing models—often via APIs through Wakam’s platform or in coordination with partners.
Portfolio Management & AnalyticsYou develop management information and run ad-hoc analyses to support key decisions. You monitor and optimise portfolio performance, contribute to improved forecasting, and conduct regular reviews of pricing structures, profitability, and customer segmentation—taking into account competitor pricing, claims trends, and regulatory updates.
Technical PricingYou design, implement, and enhance pricing models using actuarial and statistical methods. You monitor model performance and recalibrate when needed, and you investigate innovative technical solutions to complex business problems. You also perform peer reviews of MGA pricing proposals to ensure technical robustness and consistency.
Stakeholder & Partner ManagementYou collaborate with MGAs and internal teams to support pricing decisions, product design, and portfolio management. You present results internally and to distributors, communicate complex pricing topics to non-technical audiences, and ensure pricing strategies remain compliant with applicable UK regulatory requirements.
