Pricing Actuary

Job Description

🚀 About the Team

You will join the Motor Pricing team, which supports Wakam’s partner portfolios by delivering technical pricing excellence and profitability steering. The team works in close collaboration with stakeholders across Risk, Reinsurance, Data, Underwriting and Partner Management, and plays a key role in ensuring our Motor business remains sustainable and competitive across markets.

🎯 Your Mission

As a Motor Pricing Contractor (Individual Contributor), you will deliver pricing and portfolio analysis work on the UK & Rest of Europe scope (excluding France). Your core objective is to secure profitability and strengthen technical management through robust pricing, monitoring, and actionable recommendations.

You will operate with strong autonomy, taking ownership of projects end-to-end—from analysis to recommendations and deliverables ready for committee review and implementation.

✏️ Your Responsibilities

End-to-end pricing & portfolio projects (execution)

You will independently manage projects covering:

• New contract pricing: profitability analyses, scenario testing, and clear pricing recommendations tailored to partner needs and constraints.
• Optimisation of existing portfolios: performance diagnostics, identification of key drivers (mix effects, claims, inflation, drifts), proposals for pricing actions, and monitoring of impact over time.
• Pricing tools & technical assets: maintenance and targeted improvements of datasets, models, scripts and profitability reports—ensuring quality, consistent definitions, and reproducibility.
• Partner reviews & committees: preparation of review packs and quantified analyses to support partner discussions and internal governance.

✅ Expected Deliverables

You will produce ready-to-use, auditable deliverables that can be shared in governance instances and handed over smoothly, including:

• Pricing notes and recommendations
• Portfolio performance analyses and diagnostics
• Committee materials (slides + appendices)
• Quantified outputs (tables, scripts, queries) with minimal documentation enabling handover and reuse

🧠 What You Bring

You bring strong technical foundations and relevant market expertise, including:

• Proven expertise in Motor pricing (European markets and or UK); experience on Italy and/or Spain is a strong plus
• Excellent actuarial and analytical skills, with the ability to produce robust, decision-grade analyses
• Ability to deliver committee-ready outputs (structured narrative, clear assumptions, quantified impacts, traceability)
• Comfort working at interfaces with Risk, Reinsurance, and Data teams, and translating technical work into actionable recommendations

✨ Who You Are

You are likely to thrive in this contractor role if you are:

• Highly autonomous, with a strong sense of ownership and delivery discipline
• Structured and rigorous, especially on auditability, definitions, and reproducibility
• Pragmatic and impact-oriented, able to focus on what drives profitability and what can be implemented
• Comfortable operating in a multi-stakeholder environment and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences

🏆 Hiring Process

Our hiring process is designed to be selective, transparent, and respectful of your time:

1. Technical interview with our Pricing Lead Motor UK & Europe
2. Final interview with our Chief Underwriting Officer - Motor and Mobility
