Insurance Pricing, Data Science and Advanced Analytics Recruitment Specialist Perm | Contract I Insurtech I General Insurance I Broking I Lloyds…

£65,000 + bonus + benefits | 2 days/week Manchester (moving to 3 days soon)


If you’re a pricing data scientist who wants to lean harder into ML (or you’re an ML engineer who enjoys commercial, real-world modelling), this is one of those roles where Python is central to everything.


You’ll join a high-performing ML team (4 ML engineers today) with genuine buy-in from the wider business and a strong pipeline of interesting work. The team is growing, and so is the opportunity to step up.


What you’ll be doing

  • Building and improving pricing models using Python
  • Working on GLMs and GBMs (this is not an LLM/neural-network role)
  • Translating model outputs into decisions that move the needle commercially
  • Collaborating closely with ML engineers, pricing, and stakeholders across the business
  • Helping shape how the team scales as hiring continues

Why this role stands out

  • Python-first environment with meaningful engineering/ML focus
  • Huge internal support for ML and analytics
  • A team that’s already established, but still early enough for you to have real influence
  • Clear career progression as the function expands over the next 12–24+ months

What they’re looking for

  • Strong Python and experience delivering models into production or production-like settings
  • Background in pricing analytics / data science / ML engineering
  • Comfortable with GLMs/GBMs and rigorous modelling practices
  • A career-focused person who wants to grow with a scaling team

📍 Location: Manchester (Hybrid — 2 days/week in office, moving to 3 days/week soon)


💷 Package: up to £65,000 base + bonus + benefits

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
