About you
You’re motivated, determined, and eager to succeed. With strong analytical ability, logical thinking and critical problem-solving skills, paired excellent numeracy with clear and confident communication.
Confident and self-driven, you enjoy working to deadlines and achieving results. You’re comfortable using MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook) and above all, you thrive in a team environment where collaboration leads to shared success.
While direct underwriting experience isn’t essential, experience within insurance is important. Most of all, you bring a genuine interest in emerging risks and a desire to learn.
