Job Description

The Retail Pricing, Data Science and Portfolio Analytics team sits at the heart of Zurich's Retail Transformation, working alongside Underwriting, Technology and Claims to shape the future of our retail insurance business.



As a member of the Retail Pricing, Data Science and Portfolio Analytics team, you will partner with local Business Units to build market-leading, technically excellent retail pricing and analytical capabilities, supporting our ambition to deliver sustainable competitiveness, best-in-class customer experiences, and long-term profitable growth.

What you will do

You will report to the Head of Retail Pricing, supporting the global introduction of retail pricing excellence. Your main focus will be implementing a state-of-the-art retail pricing system to enhance our market position, profitability, customer retention, and product offering. You will improve existing pricing processes and help establish new ones, leveraging modern infrastructure such as data lakes and flexible rating engines. You will primarily support physical distribution channels, including agents, brokers, and partnerships. Your work will follow a predefined Pricing Excellence Framework, allowing you significant scope, initially focused on private customer segments (Motor & Non-Motor), as well as SME segments. You will be supported by a transformation team of pricing actuaries and data scientists, and as a senior team member, you'll also coach and mentor junior colleagues. Implementation will be in partnership with local Business Unit pricing teams and regional pricing hubs, with an emphasis on empowering these teams to apply new methods. Close collaboration with Underwriting, Product Development, and Business Development will be an integral part of your work. You will lead research and development initiatives related to retail pricing excellence, creating "off-the-shelf" solutions that Business Units can tailor to their local markets.

Bachelor's degree in mathematics, statistics, actuarial science, finance, or a related field. At least 3 years of experience in retail pricing within non-life insurance. Solid understanding of state-of-the-art retail pricing methods. Proficiency in WTW pricing software (Emblem, Radar) and hands-on expertise in Radar Live implementation. Advanced Python programming skills are very desirable; proficiency with Databricks and SageMaker is considered an advantage. Highly organised, results-oriented, and comfortable managing and leading multiple projects simultaneously. Strong project management skills, with experience in leading pricing implementation projects preferred. Ability to communicate complex topics clearly to non-experts and maintain direction in the face of challenges. Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills, with fluency in written and spoken English; proficiency in additional languages is a plus. Capable of working independently and as part of a team, managing a variety of stakeholders across the organisation.
