Strategic Portfolio Management Specialist (Pricing)

Location: Kent or Bristol, hybrid (2 days per week onsite)

Salary: Depending on Experience

A major pricing transformation is underway, backed by significant investment in new pricing capability, advanced modelling, and enhanced portfolio performance monitoring. As part of this evolution, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially focused Strategic Portfolio Manager to play a key role in shaping and delivering portfolio strategy.

This is a high-impact position at the heart of the business, ideal for someone who truly understands how the P&L fits together and enjoys translating strategy into meaningful portfolio action. You'll work closely with Finance and Distribution to project performance, refine pricing decisions, and ensure incentives and deals deliver genuine value.

Importantly, this role is not about building Radar models. Instead, the focus is on optimising and managing the in-force portfolio, strengthening forecasting approaches, and driving smarter, commercially grounded decisions.

The opportunity

Play a pivotal role in a major pricing transformation programme
Own and deliver portfolio management strategy at a granular level
Influence pricing and underwriting decisions at case level
Help shape forecasting methodology and forward business plans
Work in a highly visible role with senior stakeholder exposure

What you'll be doing

Produce forward projections of underwriting performance to support planning and forecasting
Build actionable portfolio plans aligned to strategic objectives
Work closely with Pricing, Finance, and Distribution to optimise portfolio outcomes
Review and refine pricing and underwriting decisions, including case-by-case queries and discount requests
Ensure value-based retention incentives are effective and rolled out to front-line teams
Support new business initiatives and monitor performance against expectations
Provide insight and challenge to stakeholders, particularly under pressure from commercial teams

What we're looking for

~3-5 years' experience in pricing, underwriting, finance, or actuarial roles
Strong understanding of P&L components and performance drivers
Numerate background (actuarial, accountancy, or similar highly desirable)
Experience producing forward projections and business plans
Good understanding of insurance and underwriting dynamics (GI background welcomed)
Confident communicator able to challenge and influence senior stakeholders
Strategic thinker who can translate plans into delivery
Comfortable working in a transforming, evolving environment
Resilient and able to prioritise under pressure
Health experience is helpful but not essential.

Why this role stands out

Key hire within a high-profile transformation
Genuine opportunity to shape portfolio strategy
Strong visibility across Finance and Distribution
Leadership responsibility with scope to develop the function
Opportunity to bring best practice into a developing environment

If you're commercially sharp, numerically strong, and ready to influence portfolio performance at scale, this is a standout opportunity to make your mark.
