  • Developing your sales skills and appreciation of sales and underwriting strategy in collaboration with the wider teams and regions
  • Effectively negotiating with both internal and external parties and identifiepoints of contact within brokers
  • Challenging nonstandard underwriting decisions leveraging the expertise of product specialists and senior members of the team
  • 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

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.
