York, York City, United Kingdom Hiscox Full time

About the Role

The Trainee Underwriter will work in the underwriting teams to deliver superb service in line with the agreed sales strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Underwriting new/existing business across our commercial (PSC) products in line with our high standards
  • Working towards set targets each month including profitability, GWP, conversion, retention, cross-sell, referral rate reduction, quotes per day, turnaround times, workflow management, phone service and prospecting
  • 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 identifying points of contact within brokers
  • Challenging non-standard 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

Requirements

  • Experience of working in an insurer, within an underwriting environment and the desire to want to build a career in underwriting
  • A strong team player capable of taking ownership and driving results
  • An analytical mind, proactive in thought process and the ability to back up the decisions you make
  • A natural flair for building relationships enabling you to develop close rapport with brokers, clients and colleagues
  • Ability to be an ambassador of Hiscox and demonstrate 'going the extra mile' dedication and commitment in a fast growing and demanding area of the business

  • Willingness to begin ACII qualification

Diversity and Flexible Working at Hiscox

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 full time for training and learning for the initial onboarding period and then up to 2 days per week hybrid.

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.
