Role: Graduate Underwriter/Analyst
Company: Protector Insurance
Location: Central Manchester, Spinningfields
Salary: Competitive
Closing Date for Applications: Friday 3rd January 2025
Protector Insurance is one of the fastest growing insurers in the UK, a Norwegian based company that expanded to the UK in 2015 and has grown rapidly in the last 9 years. With rapid growth comes great opportunity for the right people. Protector is looking to recruit highly motivated graduates to join their team as an Underwriter/Analyst at their head office in Manchester.
Protector's client base includes both private and public sectors, covering some of the largest organisations in the UK. This offers candidates great exposure to key stakeholders across a broad range of sectors and industries. The role of an Underwriter/Analyst involves being at the heart of the risk selection process, which is a significant influence on the company's profitability. If you are someone who likes responsibility, takes pride in being diligent, and wants to have a direct impact on a company's results, then this is a great role for you.
You will be presented with a broad range of challenging and exciting tasks across Property, Casualty, and Motor Fleet insurance. This will involve analysing data, presenting key conclusions, and participating in several operational projects across the business in the UK and overseas. While analytical competence is required, the insurance industry also relies on building unique relationships both internally and externally to develop new opportunities and retain existing clients. Candidates who would relish the opportunity to split their time between analysing data, building relationships, and delivering on our quality service offering will be best suited to this diverse role.
Prior insurance experience is not a prerequisite, as this role will include a structured training programme that supports the attainment of professional insurance qualifications. Alongside your training programme, you will gain underwriting experience from day one and develop quickly to expand your technical competence. The foundations you build in this programme will enable you to forge a successful career in an exciting professional financial industry at Protector.
To be considered for this exciting and challenging role, candidates must be eager to work in an environment where open and direct communication is key, and where learning capacity will be continuously challenged. This role is suited for a graduate calibre (or equivalent) candidate looking to enter the insurance industry, with a strong academic background in Business, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Civil Engineering, or similar quantitative disciplines. A Master's degree is preferred, but candidates with Bachelor's degrees will be equally considered if they are the right fit.
This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with a high level of attention to detail, who thrives on a challenge and has ambitious career aspirations. Strong IT knowledge, including Microsoft Excel, SQL, and/or Python experience, would set any candidate apart.
Protector believes in defining a culture and ensures we recruit people who are culturally aligned to the organisation. You will need to learn, understand, and embody the DNA of the company, particularly the core values of Credible, Open, Bold, and Committed.
