About the role:

We’re looking for a commercially minded, technically strong individual contributor to join our Business Intelligence team at Cuvva. You’ll report to BI Management, working on some of the most interesting data and analytical problems across our insurance business.

We’re deliberately keeping this role broad. You might currently be working as a Data Analyst, Pricing Analyst, Data Scientist, BI Analyst or BI Manager, but what matters most is the depth of your analytical thinking, your understanding of insurance, and your ability to turn data into better commercial decisions.

You’ll work with complex datasets to understand performance, identify trends and opportunities, and help us make smarter decisions about our products and our business. You’ll bring industry knowledge, strong statistical reasoning, hands-on experience with SQL and Python, and the curiosity to dig beyond the obvious answer. You’ll be comfortable moving between detailed analysis and the bigger commercial question: what does this tell us, and what should we do about it?

Insurance experience is important to us, particularly within personal lines. Motor insurance is especially relevant, but we'd also consider strong candidates from other personal lines backgrounds such as home or pet. You’ll bring an understanding of how insurance businesses operate, the role data plays in pricing and performance, and the commercial factors that sit behind the numbers.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across areas including performance monitoring, pricing, product analytics, marketing, data science and AI, partnering with teams across Cuvva to turn analysis into action. We’re looking for someone who can challenge thinking, spot opportunities, explain complex ideas clearly and help us make better decisions through data.

On a day-to-day basis you’ll:

• Manipulate, analyse and interpret datasets to provide insights and recommendations that help our business make better decisions
• Work directly with our Head of Product to size opportunities before we build them, and to measure the impact of what we've shipped once it's live

You’ll do great here if you have:

• Experience working with data in the insurance industry, ideally within personal lines and preferably motor
• Strong statistical reasoning, and can explain what an analysis does and doesn't support, including the assumptions and limitations behind your conclusions
• A strong commercial mindset and can connect analysis to business performance, customer outcomes and commercial decisions
• Are highly proficient in SQL and Python, being comfortable using Python for analysis, modelling and problem solving
• Can work confidently with complex datasets, joining information from different sources to uncover insights and answer ambiguous questions
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to partner with senior stakeholders, ask the right questions and challenge thinking when needed

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Have designed, run or interpreted experiments, A/B tests or feature rollouts
• Have worked with a behavioural analytics tool such as Mixpanel, Amplitude or GA4 alongside a data warehouse
• Have experience with machine learning models, including understanding how their performance and accuracy are evaluated

The hiring process: (All interviews are held remotely)

• Initial chat with hiring manager (60m)
• Technical interview & live challenge with peers (90m)
• Values interview with People team & stakeholders (45m)
• Founders chat with our CEO, Freddy (20m)

Benefits:

As well as a competitive salary (80,000 - £100,000 depending on experience), benefits of working at Cuvva include:

• Very flexible WFH set up, we only ask folks to come in a couple of times a month for team strategy days and socials - but of course, you're more than welcome to come in as much as you like!
• A four day work week (Fridays off!)
• An office worth visiting - Old Sessions House is a stunning private members club with a rooftop, infinity pool and regular members events. Not your average workplace!
