Career returners and changers pathway.
Reignite your career in insurance pricing.
Career breaks shouldn't end careers, and changing direction isn't a setback. Whether you stepped away for caring, health or a move, or you're ready to leave one industry for another, what you have learned along the way counts.
Two years out or ten, a background in finance, education, technology or something else entirely: resilience, adaptability and analytical thinking are exactly what insurance pricing needs. Changers bring transferable expertise. Returners bring renewed focus and lived experience.
The 10-week Pathfinders™ Academy is built to help you take that step with confidence. You are paid from day one, trained by practising pricing experts and backed by mentors and other Pathfinders. Then you join a UK insurer's pricing team as a junior pricing analyst, with your experience adding to the team from the start.

Questions returners and changers ask.
Does it matter how long I have been out of work?
No. Whether it has been two years or ten, we look at your aptitude for pricing: numeracy, problem solving, learning agility, communication and the motivation to build a career in it. A career break doesn't count against you.
I'm changing career from another industry. Will my experience count?
Yes. Career changers bring transferable expertise, whether from finance, law, engineering, education, technology, business or something else. You don't need insurance or pricing experience: the 10-week Academy teaches that part, taught by practising pricing experts.
Is the Academy full time?
Yes. The Academy is intensive and full time, so we advise against other work or study while you are on it. It is mostly online, through modules you work through at your own pace, live training and webinars with the pricing team, with some in-person days as well. The schedule flexes from one Academy to the next, so if you are invited to the next stage the team will explain how yours will run.
What role will I move into?
You join a UK insurer's pricing team as a junior pricing analyst on an initial contract, typically 24 months. The work is real from the first week: MI and analytics, model refresh and monitoring, rate deployment support or transformation projects, depending on the team. At the end of the contract the insurer can take you on permanently.
Am I paid during the Academy?
Yes. You are paid a salary for the ten weeks of the Academy, the training is fully funded and there are no exit fees. After the Academy you move into a paid pricing role at a UK insurer.
What support is there?
Mentors and trainers who are insurance pricing experts, career coaching and regular check-ins, and pastoral and career support during the Academy and once you are in your role. You also join a community of other Pathfinders.
How do I apply?
