About Us

At Direct Line Group, insurance is just the start. Combining decades of industry experience with talented people in every field, we’re a customer-obsessed market powerhouse. We all work together to be brilliant for customers every single day.

Pricing and Underwriting is a complicated world where historical data, geospatial information, and mathematical models meet talented analysts. Pricing our products is a fine line between balancing our business goals and customer needs. That’s why our Pricers and Underwriters are the best of the best. They reduce risk and predict future events, ensuring our business can continue to grow whilst each of our consumers gets the best price.

Join us as a Pricing expert in our Pricing & Underwriting Centre of Expertise. Here you’ll use your pricing expertise to work with the pricing and underwriting community and our Risk teams to manage our P&U governance and control environment.

As part of your role, you will support the management, ongoing development, and oversight of the P&U control environment to ensure compliance with legislation and regulation and the safe delivery of pricing and underwriting change. You will lead key activity to deliver control outcomes in a timely and effective manner.

You’ll report to the Head of P&U Centre of Expertise as part of the wider COE team.
