Lead Pricing Strategy

Pricing & Profitability works on the pricing and profitability of pension and insurance products. We connect actuarial expertise, modelling, and data science to commercial choices. We are building a team in which we are sharp on content, challenge each other, and work together to ensure that analyses lead to decisions and improvements that work in practice.

As Lead Pricing Strategy, you are one of two leads within Pricing & Profitability and a direct sparring partner to (Senior) management and the Head of Pricing & Profitability. You focus on pricing strategy, portfolio management, and the translation of analyses into concrete decisions. Together, you connect content, commercial objectives, and execution, and you build a more strategic and data-driven pricing function.

You make it clear where value is created, which trade-offs are necessary, and what this means for pricing and the portfolio. In doing so, you connect data, model outcomes, and market insights to choices regarding return, volume, retention, and new business. You look beyond the individual quote and bring coherence between pricing policy, commercial ambitions, and financial objectives.

You develop pricing policy with clear principles, decision criteria, and mandates. You organize alignment with involved parties and prepare decision-making with clear scenarios, consequences, and recommendations. You also ensure follow-up: from a determined proposal to application in daily practice.

You work closely with the other pricing lead, actuarial specialists, modellers, and data scientists, and with colleagues from Commercial, Products, Finance Actuarial, Capital Management, and Risk.

As a strategic lead, you provide direction to issues that span across workflows. You bring in fresh perspectives, constructively challenge existing ways of working, and, together with colleagues, create energy for change. You bring focus and priority, make dependencies explicit, and take people along in the change from manual customization to a more standardized and scalable pricing approach. You combine strategic overview with the willingness to develop analyses, proposals, and decision documents yourself.

Key responsibilities

• Pricing strategy: developing and concretizing a coherent pricing strategy, with explicit trade-offs between return, volume, retention, and new business.

In doing so, creating space for new ideas and constructively breaking existing patterns. Testing new pricing methods via targeted pilots and ensuring implementation, adoption, and safeguarding.
• Impact measurement and adjustment: making clear what pricing choices deliver for price realization, profitability, conversion, and retention. Testing results against intended effects and translating insights into adjustments of strategy, policy, execution, and the next pricing cycle.
