Senior Data Analyst – Leicester or Bexhill Hybrid
Hastings Direct have a number of exciting opportunities for curious, creative and data-driven characters to dive into Insurance Pricing – identifying opportunities to improve how we assess risk to give a fairer price to our customers and thinking laterally about how we approach our work.
However far we delve into the data, we feel it’s important to keep sight of the bigger picture. We’re looking for people who are comfortable and confident with numerical and statistical information, that are able to explain what they are seeing with a range of detail.
We’d love it if you knew your way around an analytical programming environment, whether that be Python, SQL, R or any other language/toolkit that you use to solve problems, find solutions and provide actionable insight.
How you’ll make a difference:
You will be at the forefront of developing and evolving sophisticated, segmented pricing across our insurance products.
You’ll be exploring a vast data landscape, with all the visibility, ownership and opportunity to see your work evolve into real business impact.
Everything we do starts and ends with data, whether that be drawing insights, exploring new ways of how we use it or finding value to change it.
You’ll be collaborating with other areas of our Pricing Data & Analytics teams to bring new data sources to life.
What we’re looking for:
You have experience using Python, SQL or R and have seen projects through from start to finish in a fast moving, data focussed environment.
You’re curious when it comes to data, and comfortable tackling numerical and statistical problems.
You’ll enjoy mentoring and developing talented Graduate & Junior Analysts.
Our interview process involves:
Screening call to explore your skills and experience
Technical case study, followed by panel interview
Regrettably, we're not in a position to offer visa sponsorship for these roles, either now or in the foreseeable future.

What We Do
Hastings Group is a fast growing, agile, digitally focused general insurance provider providing services to the UK car, van, bike and home insurance market. Big enough to compete but small enough to grow, the Group has strong relationships with all major price comparison websites, a cost effective digital marketing model and a focus on customer retention. Hastings provides refreshingly straightforward products and services to UK car, bike, van and home insurance customers. A multi-award winning business, Hastings has over 2.7 million customers and over 3,400 colleagues. The Group operates as an integrated insurance provider with two businesses. The Group’s Retail business, Hastings Insurance Services Limited, is responsible for the end customer pricing, fraud management, product design, distribution and management of the underlying customer relationships. The Group’s Underwriting business, Advantage Insurance Company Limited, engages in risk selection, underlying technical pricing, reserving and claims handling. Retail is supported by, and benefits from, Underwriting’s prudent approach to risk and reserving and also benefits from the Group’s panel of insurance partners who provide additional underwriting capacity. The Group’s integrated model deliberately separates underlying product manufacturing from its distribution.
