Do you want to lead high‑impact GI risk oversight in a growing business where your challenge, insight and technical expertise directly influence key decisions?
About this opportunity
An opportunity has arisen in the Insurance, Pensions & Investments Risk team, focusing on our General Insurance business. Given the increasing importance of general insurance lines (mainly household but motor and pet broking) to our proposition, we are looking to bring in a Senior Risk Manager to strengthen our GI oversight. The role sits in a small team reporting to the Head of Financial & Insurance Risk but would work across the department in virtual teams and with other senior stakeholders.
Day to day, you will:
As a key player in the GI Claims and Reserving, Exposure Management, and Pricing and Performance Committees, you will actively challenge first line teams on technical provisions, reserve margins, and uncertainties, driving improvements and efficiencies—especially through smarter data use.
You’ll deliver sharp oversight and advice on pricing and performance, scrutinising models, strategies, reserving approaches and techniques, and loss trends, while challenging the business on market trends, emerging risks, and best practice.
We expect you to support and robustly challenge strategic and commercial decisions across the business cycle, lead deep dive risk reviews into the financials of the GI business, and bring financial rigour to non-financial risk reviews.
Your expertise will help ensure regulatory and professional compliance, and you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping GI and reinsurance risk appetites.
You would be expected to work closely and collaboratively with the first line teams and should be prepared to travel to other key hubs as needed.
Why join us?
We’re transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.
What you’ll need:
You should be an actuary with several years post qualification experience.
You should have a strong background in personal lines insurance, especially household. Good connections within the general insurance market, and experience in both industry and consultancy roles would be an advantage.
Technical & soft skills:
Proven expertise in GI personal lines reserving and reinsurance, with hands-on, up-to-date experience.
Strong pricing skills (household or experience of sophisticated pricing approaches used on other personal lines), including advanced data analytics and price optimisation techniques.
In-depth understanding of current and emerging regulations.
Outstanding communicator and stakeholder manager—curious, creative, and unafraid to challenge or defend a viewpoint, yet adaptable when needed.
And any experience of these would be really useful:
We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this job advert may reference specific years of experience, we recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.
