Full responsibility for the retention of your client portfolio Building and enhancing both external and internal relationships; dealing with varied and wide ranging private client contacts on a daily basis Getting to know and understand our clients – building relationships and facilitating and converting unprompted enquiries Negotiating mid-term and renewal terms and, sometimes new business terms, on dream homes, unique collections, supercars and holiday villas Growing the team's existing business income through retention, cross-sell and up-sell Going the extra mile when dealing with challenging situations, bringing the brand and values to life in every transaction Ensuring client data security and privacy is maintained at all times

Our must haves:

Great with people, able to build honest and effective relationships Experience of exceptional customer service and client management Able to effectively service customers using expert product knowledge Adapts well to change and picks up new systems quickly Suggests ways of improving existing work processes, to enhance overall team efficiency and accuracy Demonstrable drive and energy to move self and business forward

Our nice to 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.
