Job Overview
The core responsibilities will be the generation, maintenance and development of optimised pricing models and monitoring pricing performance with a view to identifying value-add opportunities. A key element of the pricing models are the underlying statistical models that should accurately reflect customer behaviour (using market best practice techniques) and feed the price optimisation, built with Willis Towers Watson software (Emblem and Radar). These will need to be refreshed in a timely manner, with a focus on developing them further. Once live, the commercial and customer outcomes will need to be closely monitored, intervening when necessary to improve Tempcover’s trading performance. Pricing is a key contributor to the company’s profitability, so success in this area has a significant benefit to Tempcover’s P&L.
