What you'll be doing
We work in teams of multi-disciplinary people, and you may end up spending the day with Engineers, Marketing and Customer specialists working together to improve either part of a customer journey, a pricing model, an underwriting principle, or perhaps join other P&U specialists on a project like FCA Pricing Practices.
