Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
 

About Hiscox

Hiscox is a dynamic and innovative organisation and as an international specialist insurer, we are far removed from the world of mass market insurance products. Instead, we are selective and focus on our key areas of expertise and strength - all of which is underpinned by a culture that encourages us to challenge convention and always look for a better way of doing things.

We insure the unique and the interesting and we search for the same when it comes to talented people. Hiscox is full of smart, reliable human beings that look out for customers and each other. We believe in doing the right thing, making good and rebuilding when things go wrong. Everyone is encouraged to think creatively, challenge the status quo and problem solve.

About the People Team

The Hiscox People Function is embarking on an inspiring and forward-thinking transformation journey to establish a colleague-centric employee value proposition (EVP) that will be delivered through a digital-first approach. Our aim is to create scalable and standardised people propositions through our Centres of Expertise (CoE) that will have a significant impact, be relevant, and focus on building Hiscox's future capabilities.

Our ultimate goal is to empower colleagues to reach their full potential with the support of inspirational leaders who exemplify the Hiscox values and put the organisation at the forefront of their decision-making. We strive to become an insight-led and digitally fluent people function, that leverages data to enable informed decision-making and shape a workforce that is both customer-centric and commercially viable.

We are dedicated to being a strategic partner to the business by delivering innovative HR strategies and solutions that drive colleague engagement, enhance performance, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Our vision is to create a collaborative and diverse workplace culture whereby Hiscox is recognised as the best place to grow your career in the insurance industry.
