Consultant on International Management Program - Pricing & Analytics

We’re looking for analytical and business-oriented Masters’ students to join us as consultants in our pricing and data functions, as a first step towards a long and rewarding career with Admiral.

Pricing and risk assessment have always been among our key competitive advantages. Today, advanced Machine Learning and Big Data techniques augment our traditional pricing expertise, as well as adding substantial value across all business areas.

This unique management program provides an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of these key elements of our success.

About the Company

Admiral Group Plc is a FTSE100 company with a market capitalisation of £8bn+. Since our founding in 1993, we’ve experienced amazing growth through innovation and entrepreneurship. Our Insurance operations now span 5 countries and we are consistently voted among the best workplaces in the UK and worldwide.

The Role

This role combines data analysis with business and product-focused work.

The ideal Consultant possesses both analytical and managerial qualities, combining logical and creative thinking with great interpersonal skills.

This program is aimed at candidates with a quantitative background, a Masters in Business or Management (or related fields), and a minimum of one full year professional work experience.

Previous experience in insurance is not necessary, as we’ll help you acquire the relevant knowledge through:

• Dedicated training to understand Pricing, Analytics, and Data
• On-the-job learning through projects that have real impact
• Exposure to senior managers (including C-Suite) around the Group
• Projects could include strategic initiatives to promote product design and launch, implementing new technologies, researching data sources and analysing complexities, deep-diving into country-specific challenges or sharing knowledge across countries to solve composite problems

Main Responsibilities

• Managing Pricing, Analytics or Data projects
• Working with senior management to design product strategies
• Communicating results and initiatives to senior stakeholders
• Collaborating with analysts and data scientists to manage project deliveries
• Performing analysis to assess our pricing structures and past performance to improve risk management

Future Career Progression

The goal of the program is to prepare you for future management roles, either within the Pricing & Analytics functions or in the wider business. The fast growth of our international companies, as well as our expansion into new product lines, will create exciting future career opportunities.

This role is suitable for candidates committed to building a long-term career within Admiral.
