King Price Group, through King Price Insurance, is looking for a Business Enablement Manager: Commercial Pricing and Operational Analytics to join its team in Pretoria on a permanent basis. This is a senior specialist leadership role that owns technical pricing for Commercial insurance lines and turns operational data into decisions that improve cost, service and conduct outcomes across the business. The position carries reference 209388, and applications close on 6 November 2026, so interested candidates should apply promptly.
About the company and the work
The employer is King Price Group, and the role sits within King Price Insurance. The job has two equal halves. On the Commercial Pricing side, the manager sets, monitors and defends rates so that Commercial business is written at an adequate, fair and competitive price. On the Operational Analytics side, the manager gives Operations, Quality Assurance, Customer Success and Claims the measurement, forecasting and insight they need to run the business, and closes the loop between what operations measures and what pricing assumes. The manager leads two analysts, sets the technical standards for the team, and is accountable for the quality of the work the team releases.
Role details and duties
In Commercial Pricing, the manager owns the technical rating models for Commercial lines, including property, motor fleet, liability and engineering business; runs rate adequacy reviews by product and segment and recommends and implements rate changes; monitors written-versus-technical price, rate change achieved, retention, conversion and portfolio mix; provides pricing input to new products, product changes and broker or partner deals, including scenario work; and supports the Actuarial Function with pricing inputs for reserving, reinsurance and business planning. In Operational Analytics, the manager supports and owns the core operational management information for Operations, Quality Assurance, Customer Success and Claims, including service-level reporting; forecasts volumes and capacity to support staffing and workforce decisions; runs root-cause and experiment-style analysis on operational problems and quantifies the value of fixes before they are rolled out; and contributes analysis to the Operations section of the board pack and to regulatory and conduct reporting. As a leader, the manager sets data definitions, quality checks and a single source of truth for the metrics the team publishes; partners with IT and data teams on data access across Personal and Commercial systems; leads, coaches and develops the Commercial Pricing Analyst and the Operational Analytics Analyst; peer-reviews all material models and analysis before release and owns the team’s model risk; and sets priorities with stakeholders, including saying no to low-value work.
Requirements
Applicants need at least eight years of experience working in short-term insurance in South Africa, a BSc or BCom (Hons) in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, CA, CFA or a similar field, five years of hands-on technical commercial pricing experience, and two years of managing analysts or actuarial students. The advert also calls for strong analytical, numerical and problem-solving skills; attention to detail and accuracy; proficiency in data analysis and actuarial modelling; the ability to interpret and communicate complex information clearly; strong organisational and time management skills; the ability to work independently and collaboratively; a proactive, accountable and results-oriented approach; and a commitment to continuous learning and professional development. The advert does not state an experience level label beyond the requirements above.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24, where the closing date is given as 6 November 2026. Apply through the Apply button on this page, which opens the original advert. Be wary of anyone asking for payment in exchange for a job, and never share banking details or passwords with a recruiter. Because the closing date is close, applicants should check the original advert for the most current status before applying.
Practical tips
Lead with your commercial pricing track record: name the lines you have priced, the rating models you have owned, and the rate changes you have recommended and implemented, with the effect they had on adequacy, retention or conversion. Show your operational analytics side too, with an example of a volume or capacity forecast, a root-cause analysis, or a fix whose value you quantified. If you have managed analysts or actuarial students, describe how you coached them and how you handled model review and quality control, since that leadership element is central to this role. Make sure your CV states your qualification, your eight years in short-term insurance and your five years of technical commercial pricing experience clearly.
