About the Group Risk team:

The Risk team is a Group central function responsible for facilitating the implementation, delivery and oversight of Hiscox’s Risk Management Framework. As a second line function, the Risk team balances its role of supporting the business with its responsibility to provide credible, effective challenge.

The role

This multi-faceted role offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced risk professional. The successful candidate will support the Group’s central Risk Team in coordinating and carrying out risk management activities spanning across various geographical business units and legal entities, with frequent exposure to key internal and external stakeholders.

As a Risk Manager you will report directly to the Group Head of Risk.

What you’ll be doing as a Risk Manager:


  • Provide support to the Group Risk Function in delivering its objectives.


  • Support the analysis of reported risk events and consider how external datasets can be used to help inform internal analysis.


  • Assist with the preparation of papers and documents to be discussed at Board level and Executive level Risk Committees.


  • Support the production of the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) reports across the Group.


  • Support the Risk Function in managing and embedding: the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process; Group risk policies; the Risk and Control Register (RCR); Internal Controls Framework (ICF); and Critical Risk Tracker.


  • Contribute to business second line challenge through involvement in programmes, stakeholder meetings and specific risk reviews.


  • Take a role in the delivery of regulatory requirements including submissions to a range of regulators of the Hiscox group


Person specification
  • Over 3 years’ prior experience of Enterprise Risk Management or a focused risk area (e.g. Operational risk, Credit risk, etc.). Risk experience through insurance audit, compliance or consultancy roles will be considered.


  • Knowledge of key risk types as applicable to retail / commercial (re)insurance.


  • Experience dealing with regulatory requirements and related reporting.


  • Motivate and collaborate: leverage strong interpersonal skills to interact with, influence and encourage risk owners and business stakeholders to positively respond to questions, inquiries and requests for information; also, be genuinely open to receiving and integrating feedback.


  • Pragmatic approach which keeps sight of ‘big picture’ over details.


  • Strong ability to work on several projects at once.


  • Comfortable adapting to changing priorities within a very fast paced environment.


  • Able to put forward constructive challenge to senior colleagues in a confident, credible, collaborative and non-contentious manner.

Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary. We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve. We might have been around for a long time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places.

Some people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in touch.
