    • Liaising with the software provider to ensure all functionality is working correctly and all efficiencies are benefitted from.
    • Ensuring appropriate upkeep of accurate documentation for technical pricing models in the hx Renew system.
    • Integrating key data items between hx Renew and any other overlapping data driven systems.

    • Developing the Pricing Framework within the Syndicate and contribute to the maintenance of Lloyd's Pricing Maturity Matrix.
    • Establishing an excellent working relationship with underwriting teams across the business to ensure their long-term support for technical pricing concepts and pricing tools.
    • Ongoing development, maintenance and cyclical validation of rating tools and pricing capabilities for all classes of business, including model documentation.
    • Working with underwriting teams to provide ad-hoc pricing support and individual case pricing in line with best practice actuarial techniques.
    • The development of portfolio management reporting to leverage data from Renew to generate new insights across all lines of business.
    • Providing relevant Renew support to Underwriting teams across the business.
    • Supporting in the preparation of:
      • accurate rate adequacy and rate change reporting, within internal MI and external reporting to Lloyd's (PMDR).
      • actuarial loss ratios for syndicate business planning, ensuring consistency of assumptions across the actuarial function.
      • relevant policy documents, papers and analysis for committee meetings and external meetings with Lloyd's and the PRA.
      • the annual Actuarial Function Report, particularly with respect to underwriting opinions.
    Other

    • Identifying and developing synergies within pricing across Ascot entities.
    • Demonstrate commitment to personal and team development.
    • Identifying opportunities to work more efficiently.
    • Attendance at relevant industry workshops and training.
    • Liaising with other Ascot functions as necessary, such as IT, MI, Data, Underwriting, Reinsurance and Exposure Management in order to further the objectives of the team.
