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.

Grow with us: We may move fast at Prima, but we move together. Get access to learning resources, mentorship and a growth plan tailored to you.
