Job Ref:BH-23443
This organisation is a rapidly growing specialist motor insurance business with deep roots in niche markets, particularly taxi insurance where it holds a dominant market share in the UK. 

The business has delivered consistent and strong growth, reaching a substantial scale with sustained profitability and resilience, even during challenging market conditions. Its focus on specialist areas has supported above-average returns and reduced direct competition compared to standard motor insurance markets.

The organisation is seeking an experienced actuarial professional to take on a high-profile role focused on pricing and portfolio management within its specialist motor insurance business. This position will play a central role in shaping pricing strategy and supporting the next phase of growth.

Role summary:
  • The Portfolio Actuary will and develop and maintain sophisticated risk models tailored to non-standard market segments, while incorporating the latest actuarial and statistical techniques into modelling approaches and data structures.
  • A strong emphasis is placed on innovation, ensuring that pricing methodologies and performance monitoring frameworks remain at the forefront of industry practice.
  • In addition to technical modelling, the position will focus on building practical tools, dashboards, and self-service analytics that enable wider business teams to apply actuarial insights in decision-making.
  • The successful candidate will also be expected to provide thought leadership on pricing, helping to elevate capability across the team.
  • Collaboration is a key aspect of the role, requiring close engagement with teams across reserving, finance, claims, and operations. Insights from these areas will be integrated into pricing processes to ensure a holistic and commercially effective approach.

To be considered, candidates should bring prior general insurance pricing experience, ideally within the UK motor market, with a preference for those who have prior portfolio management experience. A strong numerical and academic background is essential, alongside progress toward actuarial qualification or full qualification.


This is an outstanding opportunity for someone looking to step into a highly visible and impactful role within a growing specialist insurer. The position offers broad exposure across the full pricing lifecycle — from managing and reviewing portfolios to leading project work and delivering models into production at pace. The environment is notably agile, with minimal bureaucracy, enabling quick turnaround from idea to deployment. Working within a small, close-knit team means high levels of collaboration, no siloed working, and strong visibility across the business — including regular interaction with senior leadership up to CEO level. The role also provides the chance to work with modern technology and shape the technical direction, with a strong emphasis on tools such as Python and Databricks.

Overall, it’s a fast-paced, high-growth environment where you can take ownership, influence strategy, and see the tangible impact of your work — making it an excellent opportunity for ambitious actuarial professionals looking to accelerate their careers.
