Underwriter - York, United Kingdom - Hiscox
Description
Job Type:
Permanent Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
The role
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.
You'll focus on underwriting existing business for our commercial policies. The role will provide a breadth of development opportunities and exposure to our products, state of the art new underwriting platform and underwriting strategy to allow you to progress into a senior underwriter role.
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 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
