WHY ARE WE HIRING?

The Hiscox Group Finance function is currently spinning up a project to update & upgrade our financial planning tool capabilities within Oracle. This project will fall under the Finance Change Portfolio Manager who needs a BA to help identify, analyse and document business requirements for this upgrade work.

THE ROLE

This role is for someone who has a strong core set of Business Analysis skills and capabilities and will best suit someone who has strong finance domain expertise, particularly in the financial planning area. Given the senior stakeholders involved we are looking for excellent interpersonal skills combined with a good understanding of the Insurance industry - technology, people and processes. Any previous Hiscox, insurance or Oracle experience would lend to your credibility in this role. The primary focus of this role will be:

• Support the identification, analysis, documentation and resolution of process and/or system changes required for this upgrade.
• Support the Finance Change Portfolio Manager, ensuring he understands the implications of this analysis on the project, including but not limited to resources, timelines, complexity & vendor deliverables.

SKILLS/EXPERIENCE/EDUCATION

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst, preferably in Insurance
• Strong finance domain expertise, particularly in the financial planning area
• Oracle experience and/or previous Hiscox experience will be highly regarded
• Experience of process design, process improvement, workflow and process map development (e.g., MSP, Visio etc).
• Familiarity with Agile, SCRUM, Lean Six sigma – green belt or better a plus.
• Experience in delivering complex process optimisation projects
• Project management experience is essential - project planning, tracking milestones, and reporting on progress to ensure successful implementation.
• Intellect and gravitas to influence and gain credibility with Hiscox business personnel and management.

About Hiscox

As an international specialist insurer we are far removed from the world of mass market insurance products. Instead we are selective and focus on our key areas of expertise and strength - all of which is underpinned by a culture that encourages us to challenge convention and always look for a better way of doing things.

We insure the unique and the interesting. And we search for the same when it comes to talented people. Hiscox is full of smart, reliable human beings that look out for customers and each other. We believe in doing the right thing, making good and rebuilding when things go wrong. Everyone is encouraged to think creatively, challenge the status quo and look for solutions.

Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary. We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve. We might have been around for a long time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places.

Some people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in touch.

Diversity and Hybrid working

At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we’re committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.

We have also learned over the past few years that working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, and now it is safe to do so we have introduced hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance.

This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable you to manage your own personal work-life balance. We see it as the best of both worlds; structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.
