• Build/validate models in Emblem and use Radar Enhanced Analytics to assess customer & portfolio impacts, accelerate scenario testing, and strengthen monitoring/reporting after rate changes.

 

• Strong understanding of GI pricing techniques (GLMs, GBMs/boosting, credibility, regularisation, calibration/validation and drift monitoring) with an emphasis on turning model outputs into practical rating actions and clear stakeholder recommendations.

 

 

• Support the Personal Lines pricing data strategy by helping improve data quality, accessibility, automation and repeatable analytical capability.

 

• Produce clear documentation for pricing proposals, including rationale, expected impact, implementation approach, risks/limitations, and monitoring plans.

 

 

• Support internal and external review processes by providing traceable analysis and responding to queries on rating, trading, and performance.
