Senior Data & Analytics Adviser

When meeting us, you’ll quickly discover that the best thing about the ABI is the people. We’re hugely proud that 98% of our people think individual differences are respected and we are empowered to bring our whole self to work without fear of judgment. We work at the forefront of policy development - helping to get things right before they are implemented and ironing out bumps where they are identified in existing rules. If that sounds like your sort of culture, read on to find out how you can join us.

We’re looking for a Senior Data & Analytics Adviser who can carry our detailed research and analysis on a variety of insurance and investments data sources and present this analysis in a way that engages people. You’ll provide your expert insight and high-quality analysis across the long-term savings and insurance sector – making it accessible for a wide range of audiences. You’ll also carry out research projects independently, leveraging existing data sources and identifying new ones.

You won’t just be sitting at your desk crunching the numbers, you’ll build relationships with colleagues across the ABI, helping them to use data that will add value to our members, their customers and the wider insurance industry.

Please note this is a 12-month maternity cover contract.

We are open to flexible and/or job share working – please let us know if this would be your preference. We work in a hybrid way with at least 40% of time in the office.

Our team is made up of people who are new to insurance, those who are highly experienced, and everyone in-between, so we welcome people from all industry backgrounds.

What skills are we looking for?

• Research and analysis skills: you can deliver research projects that use a range of data sources to draw relevant conclusions, explain complex concepts, and consider the wider economic context throughout. Ideally you’ve done this in a Financial Services environment.
