Why work at Hiscox?

 It’s a simple question, with many answers. The reality is that we’re all different. And a different combination of career opportunities, perks, benefits, worklife flexibility, training, and environment may appeal to each of us.But when we talk to our people, be they newcomers or veterans, they tell us that there is a certain something about the culture of Hiscox that draws our people here and keeps them here – it’s something we call the “Hiscox factor”.It is felt in the way we interact with one another. In the values our people hold. And in our attitude to both success and adversity.It is not something that’s always easy to define through a set of words; but if you’re someone who challenges convention, someone who is passionate about helping people when they need us most, and someone who simply gets things done… then you have everything you need to succeed here.

Hybrid

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  learned  that working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, and we use hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance. We anticipate the successful candidate for this role will be in the office up to 2 days per week. This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable optimal team functioning and 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.

Work with amazing people and be part of a unique culture
