Underwriter Job Type: Permanent
Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
About the team/division
Hiscox London Market has an exciting future. In the Property Division, our team of over twenty-seven underwriters and analysts focus on Property & Alternative Risk lines within the London Market. Our methods of placement range from direct and facultative to shared and layered open market placements, binders, and line slips, both digital and traditional.
Expectations are high, but the team enjoys a well-established, leading market position with an excellent track record of outperforming peers. The challenge is to maintain and drive this success forward in a constantly evolving marketplace.
We are seeking an underwriter to join our Major Property team, focusing on middle-market commercial property (TIVs $50m - $1bn), an underserved segment and a key growth area. Initially, business will be written via the open market (at Lloyd's box), facilities, and delegated authorities, with a long-term goal to expand into digitally traded segments via APIs directly to US wholesale. Hiscox views middle-market commercial property as a significant growth opportunity, and the successful candidate will be part of this exciting journey.
Success in this role will be measured by progression from supporting to revenue-generating activities, portfolio optimization, and new business development through relationships and product innovation. If you thrive on challenges and uphold high standards, this could be the role for you.
What you'll be doing in the role
The Candidate
We seek a highly analytical, driven, and detail-oriented individual with a passion for execution. You should be articulate, demonstrate good decision-making skills, work well under pressure and tight deadlines, and quickly understand problems to create effective solutions. Underwriting experience is desirable but not essential if you have a good understanding of risk pricing and assessment.
Our must-haves
Nice to have
Diversity and flexible working at Hiscox
At Hiscox, we value our people. We hire the best and are committed to diversity and inclusion, which we believe drives success. We support flexible working arrangements and encourage discussions about flexibility with our resourcing team.
