    The Central Underwriting teams are located throughout the UK mainly in our regional central underwriting hubs including Glasgow, Colchester and York. The team forms part of Hiscox UK's central operations function and are responsible for the technical underwriting of new business and renewals across our broker business.

    What you'll be doing:

  • You'll be underwriting our commercial products in line with our high standards
  • Working towards set targets each month including profitability, conversion and productivity
  • Develop your sales skills and appreciation of sales and underwriting strategy in collaboration with the wider teams and regions
  • Effectively negotiate with both internal and external parties including identified points of contact with a brokerage
  • Challenging non-standard underwriting decisions leveraging the expertise of product specialists and underwriting managers
  • Showing courage and innovation by spotting process improvements and how we can do things differently to improve the customer experience and drive profitable growth

    • Our must haves

  • You'll have min. 2 years' experience as a commercial lines underwriter with knowledge of Professional Indemnity, exposure to Management Liability and Cyber will be advantageous
  • A logical and analytical thinker
  • An excellent communicator with the ability to present and articulate your thinking
  • A natural flair for building relationships enabling you to develop close rapport with brokers
  • Be an ambassador of Hiscox and demonstrate 'going the extra mile' dedication and commitment in a fast growing and demanding area of the business

  • Ideally Degree qualified and working towards Diploma CII or exempt through relevant experience as defined by the FCA

    • Diversity and Hybrid working

    At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we're committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.

    We have also learned over the past few years that working life doesn't always have to be in the office, and now it is safe to do so we have introduced hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance.

    We anticipate the successful candidate for this role will be in the office up to *2 days per week in our York office.

    This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable you to manage your own personal work-life balance. We see it as the best of both worlds; structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.

    Work with amazing people and be part of a unique culture
