Market Analytics Assistant

Our Data & Analytics Team is responsible for the publication of market statistics covering the UK’s insurance and long-term saving sector. These statistics are vital for The ABI in conducting its advocacy work - including evidencing policy recommendations, supporting national media coverage, and ensuring our members can benchmark their performance against the industry.

Your role will be to collect, quality check and aggregate market data for the industry, whilst assisting in the production of accompanying presentations and analysis. In addition to this, you will assist with running the Statistics Helpdesk and will answer queries from a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Why work here?

When meeting us, you’ll quickly discover that the best thing about the ABI is the people. We’re hugely proud that 98% feel the ABI cares about their wellbeing 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.

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.

• Ensure statistical information on the ABI website is up to date.
