Ex-armed forces veterans career pathway.

Ex-Force and army Veterans - insurance pricing careers

Your skills are valuable. Your next career is waiting.

Discipline, analytical thinking, structured problem solving and a clear head under pressure. Service builds all of them, and insurance pricing needs every one. It is logical, precise work where decisions rest on evidence, and it suits people who like a clear objective and a job done properly.

The 10-week Pathfinders™ Academy bridges the gap between your service experience and the technical side of pricing. You are paid from day one and trained by practising pricing experts. Then you join a UK insurer's pricing team as a junior pricing analyst, ready to make a difference from the start.

Questions service leavers ask.

Do I need insurance or pricing experience?

No. What you need is a problem-solving mindset, strong communication skills and the determination to succeed. The 10-week Academy teaches the insurance and pricing part, taught by practising pricing experts.

Which of my service skills carry across to pricing?

Discipline, analytical thinking, structured problem solving, precision and staying clear-headed under pressure all carry straight across. Pricing is logical, structured work with clear goals. The Academy adds the technical layer: insurance and product fundamentals, SQL, Python and MI, GLMs, GBMs and the common pricing tools including Radar.

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.

What support is there while I make the move?

Mentoring and career coaching throughout, 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 who have made the same move into pricing.

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.

Is the training online or in person?

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.

How do I apply?

Register your interest with your details and your CV. We review applications against the places in our next Academy, and if your profile is a good fit we will be in touch to invite you to an assessment centre day. We get a lot of interest, so we cannot reply to everyone individually. The FAQs for Pathfinders answer most questions in the meantime.
