Who we are
Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.
Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.
Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.
With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.
Your Role
At Apollo, we believe strong pricing capability is fundamental to delivering sustainable underwriting performance. We're looking for a qualified Pricing Actuary to partner closely with Underwriters across our Property, Reinsurance and Specialty portfolios, helping shape underwriting decisions through data-led insight, technical expertise and constructive challenge.
This is an opportunity to work at the heart of the business, collaborating with Underwriting, Claims, Exposure Management, Capital Modelling, Data and Technology teams to support profitable growth while continuing to evolve pricing tools, models and capabilities.
