A placement in our Risk division gives you unique exposure to the core elements of a risk management company and an opportunity to apply the skills you’ve developed so far and learn some new ones in a business environment.
We are exposed to over £5bn of asset risk via the vehicles we own and lease to our customers. Forecasting future vehicle values and asset depreciation is the bet we take when we lease our cars to our customers. But we don’t take that risk lightly – our Asset Risk team uses a combination of econometric and statistical approaches and industry expertise to understand and model the macro and micro influences – getting every car on fleet £5 out amounts to >£3m!
What you'll do
Our Pricing team balances the needs of customers with those of our suppliers and scheme partners while managing our own profit margins within a target corridor. To deliver that they optimise our forecasts of costs and incomes to ensure an affordable, sustainable and varied product offering for our customers.
With over a million customers insured to drive our cars and an annual spend of almost half a billion pounds, our Insurance team is key to understanding the risk exposure both within our own fleet and customer base and via the external insurance industry. They also work closely with our fronting insurer and wholly owned subsidiary, which manages the reinsurance operation.
Our Business Risk team provide second line of defence support to the wider business and bring together the risk management framework which specifies the Risk Appetite Framework, facilitates risk assessments and provides the link into the Economic Capital Requirement.
