Job description

Canopius is seeking a motivated and analytical candidate with strong communication skills, an interest in cybersecurity, and confidence in presenting technical topics to join us in developing our Threat Intelligence and Proactive Services capabilities. This role sits within our Cyber Insights & Analytics function, part of the Cyber Underwriting division, supporting cyber underwriting operations across our London, U.S., and global offices. This role could suit an ambitious graduate or early career professional looking for their next move into a consulting role.

Canopius’ Cyber team and business has developed rapidly, and with a projected growth of 35% this year, we remain a key class of business at Canopius. We insure tens of thousands of companies worldwide across many industries and sizes, from micro enterprises to large multinationals, and we are one of the few Lloyd’s syndicates awarded with ‘Advanced’ status in writing cyber insurance by Lloyd’s. Our growth, success, and recognition are testament to our investment in market-leading capabilities, such as the Cyber Insights & Analytics function. Our Cyber Insights & Analytics function is at the cutting edge of cyber risk management, leveraging diverse data sources to create sophisticated models that inform decision-making throughout the insurance lifecycle. This includes supporting policy issuance, underwriting decisions, claims management, and proactive cyber risk management services. Within this team, the Threat Intelligence and Proactive Services capabilities play a pivotal role in transforming raw data into actionable insights, equipping underwriters with real-time threat context and empowering clients to better secure their digital ecosystems.

In this role, you’ll gain exposure to diverse areas such as insurance, cybersecurity, and consulting, while enhancing your communication and presentation skills. You will receive training in cybersecurity concepts, empowering you to confidently engage with clients and stakeholders. And as part of a growing team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of our proactive services and leave your mark on industry-leading projects and initiatives.

This client-facing role is ideal for a candidate with strong communication skills, an interest in cybersecurity, with an ambition to be a front-facing expert. You will work closely with the Head of Cyber Insights & Analytics, our Cyber Services Manager, and the cyber underwriters to deliver our proactive cybersecurity services, engage with internal and external stakeholders, and help insureds and stakeholders navigate the evolving cyber threat landscape.

Canopius has set an ambitious financial plan, driven by refreshed product strategies, improved efficiencies, and collaboration across diverse expertise. This role offers the opportunity to work internally and externally, build and demonstrate cybersecurity expertise, and deliver innovative solutions that will enhance Canopius’ cyber insurance offering and support the company’s overall growth ambitions.

Responsibilities will include:

• Deliver Cybersecurity Services: You will help deliver our proactive services such as cyber tabletop exercises, security awareness and training sessions, development of cyber policies and procedures, and threat report briefings. These services will contribute to Canopius’ commitment to serving clients’ needs and building distinction in the market.
• Threat Intelligence Reporting: You will transform complex threat intelligence data into actionable insights by crafting detailed, quarterly reports that spotlight industry trends and emerging risks. Your analysis will empower our policyholders with the knowledge they need to stay ahead of cyber threats while positioning Canopius as a thought leader in the space.
• Thought Leadership Content: You will help develop and present whitepapers and webinars that upskill our policyholders and share our team’s proprietary research. This thought leadership supports business growth by positioning Canopius as a trusted expert in the cybersecurity space.
• Policyholder Engagement: You will encourage client satisfaction and retention by onboarding our new policyholders. This involves presenting a cyber threat intelligence report, showcasing Canopius’ proactive services, and guiding the policyholder so that they can unlock maximum value from their policy.
• Vendor Engagement: You will engage with our panel of Proactive Services vendors to help integrate their services into our services offering. By leveraging diverse expertise and strategic partnerships, you will help strengthen our service offering and ensure that we can meet evolving client needs.
• Cyber Services Expansion: You will help identify the cyber risk management needs of our policyholders and identify and develop new ways in which we can support them and expand our Proactive Services offering. This responsibility is critical to ensuring our product strategies are responsive to market demands and empower innovation within the team.
• Risk Assessments: You will contribute to the refinement and maturation of our underwriting framework by collaborating with underwriters to provide technical expertise and support risk assessment processes, enhancing data-driven underwriting decisions. This includes reviewing technical findings from our “outside-in scanning” tool.
• Brand Advancement: You will enhance Canopius’ brand presence by preparing and delivering presentations to brokers as well as developing content for our website, policyholder app, and other online resources.

Skills and experience:
