Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
The Role
The Hiscox Portfolio Solutions (HPS) Claims and Delegated Manager is a unique new opportunity to manage modern and forward-looking books of claims. HPS comprises new distribution methods of placement going from lead Lloyd’s business with bespoke claims solutions to fast follow books.
Working closely with the London Market Claims Leadership, London Market Claims teams and the Group Claims Team you will drive the continuous development and improvement of the London Market Hiscox Claims service and commitment to do what is right for our customers.
What is HPS?
This new division consists of four distinct but complementary teams:
- Alternative Risk – Written within Hiscox London Market since 2015, the team selectively backs a diverse range of underwriting expertise targeting new and developing profitable segments of the market.
- Beta-Follow – Supporting select broker cross-class follow facilities to create a diversified portfolio of risk operating through efficient underwriting and claims models.
- Global MGA – Engaging with MGAs to provide strategic multi class underwriting capacity to create a diversified portfolio of risk. This will involve a limited number of significant MGA relationships, utilising both Hiscox London Market and Hiscox’s Retail division.
- Structured Solutions – Focusing on multi-year and/or multi-line polices where traditional insurance solutions cannot meet a client’s individual needs.
The division builds on many of the existing skills the business has already developed, not least in alternative risk where Hiscox has been marketing a developed proposition for ten years. As the use of data and advanced analytics blends with more traditional underwriting skills, however, there are significant opportunities to deliver innovative insurance solutions in key areas where clients might be looking for alternatives to traditional risk transfer, as well as to support data-led delegated authorities where Hiscox can provide significant insurance capacity.
