Build a brilliant future with Hiscox

As an Underwriting Data Analyst at Hiscox, you will use data to shape how we underwrite across Europe. Sitting within the Underwriting Portfolio Management team, part of Underwriting Performance Analytics, you will turn complex data into clear insights that help our underwriters make better decisions and steer the strategy of our portfolios.

You'll work closely with the European Underwriting Management team and our country underwriting teams, delivering analysis that directly supports our underwriting goals. You'll be an active voice in the conversation on how we best deliver those goals across the business.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, is curious about insurance and wants to build a career in underwriting analytics. You'll work with moderate oversight, supported by senior members of the team, and will have the space to learn, grow and take on increasing ownership.

Continuously improve existing dashboards and tools, making sure they stay fit for purpose and evolve with the wider organisation.

Person Specification

Degree in a quantitative field such as Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Economics, Engineering or similar, or equivalent experience.
Experience in an analytical or data-focused role. A background in actuarial work or insurance is an advantage.
Strong mathematical and analytical skills, with the ability to think abstractly about a problem and solve it with data.
