Build a brilliant future with Hiscox

Role: Underwriter – Allied Healthcare

The Role:

Hiscox has an established competitive suite of Professional Liability solutions and a strong reputation in the market. We have a highly collaborative culture where you'll make friends, laugh, and work hard. We supply the resources, and you're expected to use them to find a way to write profitable business in a competitive environment. This is not a status quo P&C underwriting environment where the few carry the many. Here you'll use your common sense, positive attitude, and ambition to place good risks, create a pipeline of business, and be a “go-to” resource for Allied Healthcare expertise for wholesale brokers throughout the region.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Underwrite, price, and negotiate accounts consistent with the quality of the risk and according to the company's strategies and guidelines for the Architects & Engineers product line.
• Develop new relationships and maintain existing relationships with wholesale brokers throughout the Midwest Region.
• Maintain excellent customer service standards.
• Work with operations, claims, finance, and marketing to help build or enhance products and contribute to the financial performance of the business unit.
• Become part of a dynamic team striving for excellence with great career advancement possibilities.
• When permitted, dedicate 10-20% of time to regional travel for broker visits and industry events.

Requirements:

• Underwriting experience in Allied Healthcare is preferred.
• Strong relationships with wholesale brokers in the Midwest Region preferred, but not required.
• B.A./B.S degree from an accredited College or University.
• Outgoing, driven, high attention to detail, and results-focused mentality.
• The ability to identify creative solutions for our partners and push new business production on small, mid-market, and national-sized risks.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and bonus (based on personal & company performance).
• 401(k) with competitive company matching.
• Comprehensive health insurance, vision, dental, and FSA plans (medical, limited purpose, and dependent care).
• Company paid group term life, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage.
• 24 Paid time off days plus 2 Hiscox days, 10 paid holidays plus 1 paid floating holiday, and ability to purchase 5 PTO days.
• Paid parental leave.
• 4-week paid sabbatical after every 5 years of service.
• Financial Adoption Assistance and Medical Travel Reimbursement Programs.
• Annual reimbursement of up to $600 for health club membership or fees associated with any fitness program.
• Company paid subscription to Headspace to support employees' mental health and wellbeing.
• Recipient of 2021 Cigna's Well-Being Award for having a best-in-class health and wellness program.
• Dynamic, creative, and values-driven culture.
• Modern and open office spaces, complimentary drinks.
• Spirit of volunteerism, social responsibility, and community involvement, including matching charitable donations for qualifying non-profits via our sister non-profit company, the Hiscox USA Foundation.

Salary Range: $80-$100k
