About the role

Working in Pricing at NFU Mutual feels genuinely different. With a clear focus on customers rather than shareholders, the team’s work has real impact — supporting local communities, protecting livelihoods, and helping our UK wide Agency Network deliver exceptional service. Our Pricing team has long been central to how we support our customers, and its role is becoming even more crucial. The team is now at the heart of one of NFU Mutual’s most significant transformation programmes, shaping how pricing will operate in the future to ensure fair, insight driven outcomes.

To deliver this transformation, the team is expanding and creating exciting opportunities to join at a pivotal moment. This is a rare chance to influence a high profile, business wide initiative where your work will be visible, valued and acted on. By working closely with colleagues across the business, you’ll play an important role in shaping NFU Mutual’s future. Beyond the transformation, you’ll join a Pricing team committed to continuous improvement, offering ongoing opportunities to grow, add value and make a real difference. If you want to drive meaningful transformation while developing your own career, now is the ideal time to join us.

As a Principal Analyst, you will be a technical lead within the Head Office Pricing Function, using deep expertise across pricing disciplines to design, build and implement pricing models, develop robust rating logic and deliver high quality analysis that informs business decisions.

You will take ownership of complex analytical work, ensuring models, processes and data meet required standards, while contributing to the development of pricing that is profitable, fit for purpose and aligned to regulatory expectations.
Working closely with colleagues across Pricing, Underwriting and the wider Group, you’ll influence the development of pricing solutions, drive technical improvements and support the delivery of departmental projects.

A key part of your role will be acting as a technical role model - coaching, mentoring and supporting junior analysts to build capability - whilst communicating insights clearly to stakeholders and championing continuous improvement across processes, tools and analytical approaches.

About you

You are an inquisitive and detail focused pricing professional who approaches complex problems with curiosity and clarity. You communicate effectively, adapting your style for different audiences and ensuring that technical concepts are easy to understand.

You bring strong analytical thinking, a structured problem solving approach and a commitment to delivering high quality outputs. You work collaboratively, build positive relationships across teams and confidently influence decisions with evidence based insight. You take ownership of your work, remain adaptable in a changing environment and are naturally inclined to support, coach and guide others as they grow.

You will also be able to evidence the following skills and experience:
• Experience working in a general insurance pricing function with a strong risk focus (e.g., claims forecasting, calibrating price to cover claims and non claims costs, ensuring target prices remain profitable and fit for purpose)
• Proficiency with pricing software such as SQL, Emblem, Radar, R or similar tools
• Strong data analysis capability, including trend analysis and interpretation
• Relevant pricing experience in personal or commercial motor lines (desirable)
• Experience working with online or direct insurance distribution channels (desirable)
