Hiscox: Summer internship - Underwriting Assistant, Colchester, Essex
Overview of business area.
The Colchester branch team is responsible for finding, developing and growing profitable new business opportunities within the region. The team consists of two teams of Development Underwriters – the Professions and Specialty Commercial (PSC) team and Art and Private Client (APC) team. The branch work closely with a team of Portfolio Underwriters to build and maintain relationships with existing and new brokers.
The Opportunity
During your internship you will work closely with the Regional Underwriting Manager and the development underwriting team on a project to explore how we can maximise the Cyber product cross sell / upsell in Colchester branch.
For example - how can we make it easier to create automated quotes? Could we make it easier for brokers to include a cyber-quote for all customers? Do we set up a cyber-hotline that a broker can just call for an over the phone quote? Do we try calling out to brokers? Work with brokers to review their renewal lists and pre quote cyber in the office?
You will dedicate time to working with the team to explore different ideas, secure broker feedback, and help create any supporting material, processes or documents that we might want to pilot.
You will gain a real insight into the intersection of sales/operations/underwriting that come together to make a compelling customer proposition.
You will also provide general support for the branch, working as part of the local team of underwriters, and working with and speaking to brokers.
