“We have a genuine focus on continuing to welcome and develop fresh ideas. There’s endless potential for innovation and improvement as part of our technical excellence ambitions, and I truly think all the technological buzzwords you hear are relevant at Allianz, such as ‘AI’, ‘machine learning’ and ‘data’. The technical product and pricing team could be described as the “heartbeat” that runs through an insurance business, and I think that’s very true here.”

“I started as a Pricing Analyst, which was a great introduction to working in a technical insurance role. The amount of learning opportunities and change that we’ve seen across the last eight years has been incredible. The innovations in data science and machine learning have had an immense impact on the way we work today; and things like electric vehicles and artificial intelligence will undoubtedly shape the way we work in the future. We’re always looking for ways to be more efficient with our processes, and how we can use newer and faster algorithms in pricing. It’s very dynamic, enjoyable work.”

“I hadn’t planned to go into insurance, but I knew I wanted to work for a global company. I started out not knowing what exactly I wanted to do, but the culture at Allianz was so fantastic and my leaders were so invested in my development that I knew I wanted to continue exploring my options within Allianz after the Grad program. I decided that if I wanted to make long lasting impacts in my work, I had to understand the fundamentals of insurance as a first step, so I moved into underwriting, after completing the Grad program.”

“I joined Allianz as a Senior Analyst for Crop Insurance.  I didn’t know how exactly I’d be helping farmers to continue farming, in times of hardship due to catastrophic weather. I worked in the Crop portfolio for a couple of years, and really loved it. We were always innovating and looking at new products and ways to help farmers. I later began working on Farm insurance as well, which gave me the opportunity to learn about other insurance covers such as Property and Motor, specifically focused in rural areas.”
