Insurance Product Development & Pricing (Financial Services) Manager, Business Consulting

The Opportunity

In today's fast‑evolving financial services landscape, insurers are under tremendous pressure to modernise their product portfolios, strengthen pricing sophistication, and accelerate time‑to‑market.

As a Business Transformation consultant specialising in Insurance Product & Pricing, you will help insurers translate their strategic aspirations across product development, pricing, and portfolio optimisation into meaningful and measurable change. You will work at the intersection of product strategy, pricing and actuarial design, customer value propositions, operating model transformation, and data‑driven decision‑making, partnering with leading insurers to build future‑ready insurance products.

Business Transformation consultants at EY are strategic thinkers and change drivers. Working across the Financial Services sector, you will collaborate with experts in actuarial and product, customer strategy, operations, digital, data, and technology to design, build, and run tomorrow's product ecosystems.

They embrace an outcome‑oriented culture, live EY's core values, and collaborate widely to consistently deliver value‑adding client outcomes.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Work within the Business Transformation team focusing on product strategy, product development operating models, pricing frameworks, portfolio optimisation, and customer value proposition design.
• Support senior leaders in developing client insights, including product portfolio diagnostics, pricing adequacy assessments, profitability and margin analysis, and coverage gap analysis.
• Collaborate across multi‑disciplinary EY teams to develop end‑to‑end solutions that address insurer pain points related to product complexity, pricing effectiveness, margin pressure, regulatory compliance, and speed‑to‑market.
• Prepare high‑quality deliverables such as product and pricing business cases, product operating model designs, transformation roadmaps, and executive presentations tailored to client needs.
• Participate in business development activities, assisting in the creation of proposals, point‑of‑view papers and thought leadership related to insurance product and pricing transformation.
• Form part of project delivery teams, taking ownership of workstreams involving product and pricing analysis, data analysis, problem structuring, stakeholder interviews, and solution design.
• Support change management and implementation activities to ensure successful adoption of new product governance models, pricing methodologies, approval processes, and digital product tools.

• Strong analytical and structured problem‑solving skills, with the ability to link risk, pricing, and profitability insights to commercial outcomes.
