IBA Analyst - Entry in Cheltenham

Amwins Global Risks

At Amwins Global Risks, we succeed together.

We're not 'just another London broker' placing risks and signing contracts.

We're forging relationships that are built to last.

With over 700 employees around the world and a global footprint across more than 150 countries, we've cemented our place as a top 10 contributor to Lloyd's.

Insurance is a relationship-based business, and achieving success means hiring the best talent in the industry.

When you join us, we will encourage and support your professional and personal development as we invest in you and your learning to help you succeed and grow.

We believe in a flat organisational structure that prizes expertise and relationships equally.

We've built a workplace where talent, collaboration and inclusivity are valued, and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion helps cultivate an open, welcoming workplace where everyone who works with us can be themselves.

This role is suitable for someone starting their working career.

Alternatively, they may have some previous work experience within the insurance sector or in an unrelated industry.

Job holders at this level carry out tasks, routines and procedures which are documented, well established and subject to direct supervision.

The required level of proficiency will be gained through a combination of formal and on the job learning.

Job holders will develop their competence and understanding of the role through familiarisation and application of company policies and their departmental procedures.

There are opportunities within our business for people with the right skills, behaviours and attitude to build their career and achieve their aspirations.

IBA Technicians (Entry - Level) are supported to achieve professional qualifications with the Chartered Institute of Insurance to become Cert CII qualified.

This is usually achieved via the fully supported level 3 apprenticeship route.
