Do you have previous experience working as a Pricing or Actuarial Analyst within GI or PMI?
Do you want to work for one of the UK’s leading Pet Insurance companies?
If so, you might be interested in our new Pricing Analyst role!
What’s on offer?
Not only do we offer a competitive salary of up to £45,000 DOE with excellent benefits, we also firmly believe that your postcode

Animal Friends, you can choose to be based remotely within the UK, within our Amesbury office, or hybrid (a mixture of both)

* Technical Pricing (risk cost modelling)
* Street Pricing (behavioural modelling)
* Rate-setting and Product Design
* Systems & Rate Implementation
* Portfolio Management (monitoring and reporting)
Who you are
* Degree educated with a strong numerical content, preferably 2:1 or above
* Background in GI or PMI pricing with experience of pricing techniques
* Some experience of pricing tools such as Emblem or Radar
* Capability with at least one statistical programming language such as R or Python
* Experience of handling structured data including the ability to query and manipulate (e.g. SQL)
* Ability to build a GLM and interpret model outputs in the context of insurance applications
* Ability to communicate complex matters simply
* Comfortable to work independently, but also within a team
* Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, including advanced Excel skills
* Genuine interest in innovation and new techniques
* Able to easily work from home with a quiet space and good internet connection
Why choose Animal Friends
Animal Friends has been supporting UK pet owners for more than 25 years with our comprehensive and meaningful pet insurance. We
are not only an award-winning business but one of the largest pet insurance providers in the UK. But we’re not like other leading
UK pet insurers, we were built to be unmistakably different – giving back to incredible animal welfare and conservation charities,
at home and around the world, as they fight to support and care for vulnerable pets, wildlife, and habitats. So far, we’ve helped
support over 800 charities and conservancies across the UK and worldwide and donated over £8.5 million and continue to use our
voice and platform to fight for positive change. We believe that even the smallest act can make a big difference.
We understand that our success is only possible because of how we work together, which is why our company values of being
courageous, kind-hearted and passionate are the heart of what we do – and we simply wouldn’t be who we are today without our
colleagues, who embody these values every day.
We are part of the Pinnacle Pet Group (PPG) – a pan European fully integrated pet insurance and pet health services provider. On a
mission to help pets live happy, healthy lives with their pet parents, PPG are committed to supporting the diverse needs of their
customers and colleagues with a clear ambition to become the world leader in pet insurance and healthcare services.
What you’ll get
We recognise that your hard work shouldn`t come without its perks, so here`s a little list of some of the things you can expect to
get from us:
* 25 days annual leave, which increases with service, plus bank holidays
* A day off for your birthday
* One paid day off per year to volunteer with a UK-registered animal charity of your choice
* Access to 50% off insuring pet companions with Animal Friends
* Free access to our expert vet partner, Joii Pet Care, for your cat and/or dog
* Your mental and physical health is incredibly important to us. That’s why we offer discount on gym membership, access to a
dedicated Wellbeing Hub and a healthcare cash plan / private medical insurance and Group life assurance.
* We like to celebrate success and recognise excellent employee performance; we will donate £3k to the charity of our employee of
the quarter’s choice
* Most importantly, you’ll be working with, and supported by, a team of courageous, passionate, and kind-hearted individuals – we
might be biased, but we think that they’re a pretty pawsome bunch!
