Job description

An international consulting firm is hiring a Data Scientist to join its growing General Insurance team. Unlike larger consultancies, the team operates lean, offering genuine breadth of work, high visibility to senior stakeholders, and the ability to shape your own development across multiple actuarial & analytical domains.

The team works predominantly with Lloyd’s syndicates with additional exposure to personal lines insurers and MGAs.

The Role

This position sits within a client-facing data function focused on analytical build, reporting and enablement — rather than pricing model development. Typical work includes:

• building dashboards & MI for insurers
• developing data pipelines & analytical tooling
• supporting client transformation projects
• reporting & insight delivery
• exposure to capital, reserving, pricing and M&A advisory

This role would suit someone who enjoys the intersection of data, actuarial concepts and commercial problem solving, rather than pure model R&D.

What They’re Looking For

You will likely have:

• 1–3+ years in GI analytics, pricing, actuarial, or consulting (PL or CL)
• Good communicator — able to work directly with clients & stakeholders
• Solid reporting experience (e.g. dashboards, MI, performance analytics)
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams (claims, UW, actuarial, data etc.)

Technical experience beneficial:

• Python and/or R
• SQL
• BI tools (Power BI / Tableau / Looker)

Actuarial exam progress is a plus, especially if you’re interested in a longer-term FIA pathway (consultancy can support this).
