  • Development of event proposals and approaches, coordination and management of content requirements working with Internal/External/Digital comms colleagues and other business partners where necessary.
  • Able to manage delivery of multiple complex events.
  • Given the cyclical nature of the events programme, this role will also support the broader internal communications team as needed including content creation and projects as required.
Skills and Experience

  • Ready to bring a new approach to an existing process and challenge expectations to make sure we're delivering the right events in the right way
  • A detailoriented manager with understanding of budgets and processes required to deliver complex, multistakeholder, multiregion events
  • Creative and enthusiastic with a fresh view on the Hiscox global events programme
  • A selfstarter with ideas and ability to work independently and at pace
  • A multitasker with ideas and interest in shaping the events programme
  • A cool head with the ability to work well under pressure
About Hiscox

As an international specialist insurer we are far removed from the world of mass market insurance products.

Instead we are selective and focus on our key areas of expertise and strength - all of which is underpinned by a culture that encourages us to challenge convention and always look for a better way of doing things.

We insure the unique and the interesting. And we search for the same when it comes to talented people. Hiscox is full of smart, reliable human beings that look out for customers and each other. We believe in doing the right thing, making good and rebuilding when things go wrong. Everyone is encouraged to think creatively, challenge the status quo and look for solutions.

Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary. We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve.

We might have been around for a long time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places.

Some people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in touch.

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.


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.
