Data Architect (Reinsurance Pricing) – Contract

Global Reinsurance | 6 months | London (Hybrid) | £1,000/day Inside IR35

Search led exclusively by DATAHEAD

You’ve delivered HyperExponential (HX) in production and you know the difference between a pretty architecture diagram and data flowing cleanly through an API. We want you.

The Role:

Own the pricing data architecture for a global reinsurer. From day one you’ll:

  • Design & run the HX data model + API layer—exposure, loss & pricing data in/out, governed and auditable.
  • Stand up/optimise the cloud data platform (think Azure/Databricks/Snowflake) to power actuarial pricing, analytics and BI.
  • Implement data quality, lineage, security & access controls for highly sensitive pricing datasets.
  • Partner with Pricing/Actuarial, IT and vendors to embed HX across the ecosystem (rating tools, downstream finance/reporting).
  • Define and sell the target-state roadmap—then build it. No slideware.
  • Hands-on HyperExponential (HX) integration experience in a live insurance/reinsurance environment.
  • Deep familiarity with (re)insurance pricing data and how actuaries actually use it.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Data governance frameworks (DQ, lineage, cataloguing).
  • Vendor/consulting experience—as long as you’ve shipped and supported it.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more.
