The Role
You will be responsible for analysing and improving the performance of the fleet portfolio, working closely with Pricing, Product, and Analytics teams.

- Identify patterns and emerging trends to support strategic decision-making
- Work with Pricing teams to refine rating approaches and improve pricing accuracy
- Support the development and evolution of underwriting appetite
- Contribute to product development through insight and market understanding
- Monitor portfolio performance against financial targets and recommend improvements
- Translate technical underwriting knowledge into practical portfolio strategies
- Collaborate across underwriting, pricing, and product functions
About You
- 5 to 10 years’ experience in underwriting, ideally within fleet or motor insurance
- Strong understanding of fleet risks and portfolio dynamics
- Experience or exposure to portfolio analysis, pricing, or performance management
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret and apply data
- Interest in moving into a more strategic, less transactional role
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across teams
What’s on Offer
- Transition from underwriting into a portfolio and strategy-focused role
- Clear progression into Product or senior portfolio management
- Exposure to advanced pricing and analytics capabilities
- Opportunity to influence underwriting strategy and business performance
