Pricing Analyst (Remote first)

Who are we:

Ticker is a next-generation digital motor insurer using data science and connected car data (also known as telematics or black box insurance) to provide insurance products for novice, van, older and low-mileage drivers.

The motor insurance landscape is set for a major shift and the battleground will be won or lost in the next five years. It will all come down to pricing sophistication and the most efficient use of machine learning and artificial intelligence across the whole value chain.
