Development Underwriter - York, United Kingdom - Hiscox
Description
Job Type:
Permanent Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
About Hiscox UK
Hiscox UK is a leading brand in the insurance market, recognised as setting the standards others try to emulate. We consistently deliver strong growth and exceptional returns, recruiting only the very best and empowering them to deliver. We are known for insuring the homes of the rich and famous through to the most innovative technology companies. Our customers are diverse and unique and are only united by our ability to provide specialist insurance tailored to their needs.
The role
The Commercial Property Owners (CPO) team are based across the UK and insure UK commercial and residential buildings, usually as part of large property portfolios. Our open market business doubled in 2023 and has continued well into 2024, while our schemes business is poised to quadruple in size in 2024 with new schemes coming online. We seek a fourth underwriter to join CPO who – in the short term - can support growth on both sides of our business and long term align fully with the schemes accounts.
Initially your work will be split across our open market and schemes accounts, engaging with brokers directly on new and existing business as demand dictates. This will be a fast moving and fluid position in our team, getting involved in large and small policies and working with brokers to maintain and grow our business. As new schemes are brought online this role will focus on schemes, where you will be responsible for managing and developing those relationships and servicing any new business, renewals or MTAs which fall outside of a Coverholder's delegated authority.
At all times, you will work alongside the Head of Property Owners, the open market underwriters and our scheme underwriter to drive the profitable growth of the CPO business.
What you'll be doing:
Our must-haves
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 either our Colchester, Manchester or 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.
