Qualifications

• A degree in a STEM field, such as Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering or another related discipline, or a degree or equivalent experience in a field that develops strong communication, research and analytical skills.
• Prior entry-level professional experience in consulting, cybersecurity, cyber risk, threat intelligence, technology, data analytics or another closely related analytical field. This is likely to have been gained through previous full-time or substantive part-time employment, a graduate role, apprenticeship, placement year or equivalent role-based experience, ideally over approximately 1–3 years. Short-term internships, academic projects or self-directed learning may support an application but are unlikely to be sufficient on their own.

• Ability to communicate technical, analytical or complex information clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present information in a structured and engaging way.
• Comfortable working with data, research or technical information, and able to translate findings into clear, practical insights.
• Good relationship-building skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.
• A proactive, curious and detail-oriented approach, with an interest in emerging cyber threats, technology and risk trends.

Desirable Skills

• Experience using data analysis tools such as Python, SQL, business intelligence platforms or similar tools.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks, data privacy regulations, threat intelligence sources, outside-in scanning tools or other cybersecurity products.
• Exposure to cyber insurance, consulting, client-facing work or stakeholder presentations.
• Experience developing written content, reports, presentations, webinars or other thought leadership materials.

Person Specification

This role could suit an early-career professional who has already gained practical entry-level experience in cybersecurity, consulting, technology consulting, data analytics, cyber risk or another related analytical field. This may include previous roles in consulting or cybersecurity, but does not need to be limited to cyber consulting specifically. We are looking for someone with enough hands-on professional exposure to communicate confidently, structure analysis and contribute to client-facing work, while still continuing to develop their technical and sector knowledge. You will receive training, coaching and exposure across cyber insurance, threat intelligence and proactive services, with the opportunity to develop into a confident client-facing cyber risk professional.

About the Company

Canopius’ Cyber team and business has developed rapidly, and with projected growth of 35% this year, we remain a key class of business at Canopius. We insure tens of thousands of companies worldwide across many industries and sizes, from micro enterprises to large multinationals, and we are one of the few Lloyd’s syndicates awarded with ‘Advanced’ status in writing cyber insurance by Lloyd’s. Our growth, success and recognition are testament to our investment in market-leading capabilities, such as the Cyber Insights & Analytics function. Our Cyber Insights & Analytics function is at the cutting edge of cyber risk management, leveraging diverse data sources to create models and insights that inform decision-making throughout the insurance lifecycle. This includes supporting policy issuance, underwriting decisions, claims management and proactive cyber risk management services. Within this team, the Threat Intelligence and Proactive Services capabilities play a pivotal role in transforming data into actionable insights, equipping underwriters with relevant threat context and helping clients better understand and manage their digital risk. In this role, you’ll gain exposure to insurance, cybersecurity and consulting, while continuing to build your communication, presentation and stakeholder engagement skills. You will not be expected to be a fully formed subject matter expert from day one; however, the role does require prior practical experience in a relevant entry-level position, where you have worked with technical, analytical or cyber-related topics in a professional setting. You will work with guidance from experienced colleagues and receive ongoing training in cybersecurity concepts, cyber insurance and Canopius’ proactive services. This client-facing role is ideal for someone who has experience communicating technical or analytical subjects, is interested in cybersecurity, and is motivated by the opportunity to develop into a trusted advisor over time. You will work closely with the Head of Cyber Insights & Analytics, our Cyber Services Manager and cyber underwriters to support the delivery of proactive cybersecurity services, engage with internal and external stakeholders, and help insureds and stakeholders navigate the evolving cyber threat landscape. Canopius has set an ambitious financial plan, driven by refreshed product strategies, improved efficiencies and collaboration across diverse expertise. This role offers the opportunity to work internally and externally, build cyber and insurance knowledge, and contribute to create innovative solutions that enhance Canopius’ cyber insurance offering and support the company’s overall growth ambitions.
