• Challenging assumptions and decisions where appropriate, bringing an independent pricing view.
• Supporting Pricing Portfolio Reviews and providing insight into the quality and performance of risks written.
• Maintaining and developing management information for analysis and reporting.
• Liaising with other teams, including Catastrophe Modelling, Reserving and Capital modelling, ensuring consistence between pricing, risk and capital frameworks.

It would be highly advantageous if you have experience with:

• Python
