Customer Sales Executive

We are proud to be a leader in Specialist Insurance. In essence, we sell trust – a promise to be there if the worst happens. Our role is to make insurance as easy as possible.

Famous for doing insurance better is one of our strategic drivers: We aim to provide an exceptional experience for our customers, ensuring they are well taken care of when they need us most. This commitment is how we continue to grow as a business.

• You will become an expert in our technical products and our IT systems.
• Participating in weekly team meetings and huddles to discuss problem solving, as well as reviewing your individual and team performance.

Diversity and flexible working at Hiscox

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

Working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, 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. For this role, you will need to be in the office every day through the training period.

We see it as the best of both worlds: structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.

Our benefits package includes a bonus, contributory pension, 25 days annual leave plus 2 Hiscox days, a 4-week paid sabbatical with every 5 years of service, private medical for all the family, and much more.
