Are you looking for a new challenge?

Fancy helping us shape the future of motor insurance?

Prima could be the place for you.

Since 2015, we’ve been using our love of data and tech to rethink motor insurance and bring drivers a great experience at a great price. Our story began in Italy, where we’ve quickly become the number one online motor insurance provider. In fact, we’re trusted by over 4 million drivers. And now we’re expanding to help millions more drivers in the UK and Spain.

To help fuel that growth, we need a Data Scientist to join our Pricing & Underwriting team.

This team is the strategic engine behind Prima’s growth. As part of this team, you’ll play a key role in shaping our business strategy and driving innovation. By combining advanced analytics and machine learning, you’ll help keep our pricing competitive and our risk under control. You’ll work at the intersection of data science and real-world impact, collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn insights into action.

By applying for this role, you'll be considered for one of two global teams, and during the hiring process, we'll determine the best fit for your skills and expertise.

Excited to make an impact? Here are the details

What You'll Do

  • Translating business challenges into data problems and designing practical, data-driven solutions, from identifying pricing opportunities to improving how we assess risk.
  • Building and adapting predictive models, from traditional statistical approaches to advanced machine learning, grounded in a strong understanding of their theoretical foundations and their application to insurance pricing.
  • Delivering actionable solutions by translating modelling insights into production-ready tools and processes, working closely with experienced Machine Learning and Data Engineers, and leveraging cutting-edge technology and best practices.

What We're Looking For

  • A strong academic background in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Exceptional quantitative, logical, and analytical abilities, with a knack for solving complex problems.
  • A growth-oriented mindset, with a strong desire to learn quickly and develop expertise in data science, programming and business skills.

Nice-to-have

  • Proficiency in programming, particularly with Python, and experienced in data querying and analysis, particularly with SQL.
  • Familiarity with programming best practices, such as version control using Git and implementing unit tests.
  • Experience in data science with machine learning algorithms and applying them in line with industry best practices.

Why You’ll Love It Here

We want to make Prima a happy and empowering place to work. So if you decide to join us, you can expect plenty of perks.

Work Your Way: Enjoy hybrid working, with a mix of home and office days. Plus, for up to 30 days per year, work from anywhere.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
