Marine Pricing Actuary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Pricing Actuary to join a leading specialist insurer operating within the London Market. This role offers the chance to provide expert pricing insight, analytical challenge, and strategic support to help drive profitable growth for Marine.

As the lead pricing actuary for your area of responsibility, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality case pricing, portfolio reviews, and analytical support while maintaining ownership of the pricing models used by the business. Working closely with underwriting teams and senior stakeholders, you will provide independent actuarial judgement, develop meaningful management information, contribute to business planning activities, and help ensure robust pricing governance and model oversight across the portfolio.
