Underwriting Graduate
Locations – Hamburg
On our underwriting graduate programme, you’ll be able to combine your analytical ability with your people skills – a trader at heart, you’ll love building relationships and negotiating a great deal.
You’ll get in-depth experience and broad product knowledge through insightful and challenging rotations across our business. Rotations are nine months long, and you could be working on anything from ‘big ticket’ risks such as hurricanes through to insurance for homeowners and small businesses.
You’ll start the graduate scheme with us in the Broker Sales team in your base location in Germany, where you’ll be given experience of the different types of risks we insure, how we price those risks and under what conditions. You’ll also get exposure to our wider business through a rotation outside of underwriting, such as Operations or Claims. You’ll also spend 9 months in London in one of our ‘big ticket’ businesses such as Hiscox London Market or Hiscox Re.
After gaining a broad understanding of our business during your time on the scheme, you’ll join your sponsoring business unit in your base location in Germany as an Underwriter, where you’ll develop specialist experience in your field.
Applicants to the graduate programme are expected to:
- Have achieved (or be expecting to achieve) an excellent degree in insurance, finance, economics or law with a grade point average of 2.5 or above.
- Be mobile for the duration of the scheme (27 months).
- Be able to speak and write fluently in business English and German, be numerate, and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills. Fluency in a third language would be desirable.
- Be available to join the programme in September 2020.
- The successful candidate must, by the start of the employment, have permission to work in Germany.
