The Hiscox UK Marketing function at a glance:

When it comes to marketing, the big mass-market insurers have more scale than us, so we have to rely on the quality of our marketing to cut through and have an impact; whether that’s better insights, better propositions, better broker and customer communications or better advertising.

Our brand has a rich heritage and is known for its distinctive, intelligent and witty approach to marketing. Now we need to continue this legacy while ensuring the brand is fit for the present day.

Marketing is an art and a science. It’s about understanding our customers and brokers and what makes them tick; it’s about helping craft our products and their positioning; it’s about optimising our distribution channel; it’s about understanding pricing and profitability; it’s about developing communications that stand out and make people think, feel and act. It’s also about understanding how effective our work is, how many people we’re reaching, and how many sales we’re driving.

As a Marketing Graduate you can expect to:

  • Help develop new advertising campaigns that are best-in-class and will be seen by people nationwide
  • Make a real contribution to the team you’re in, working on challenging projects and liaising with senior stakeholders from the start
  • Develop an understanding of the different areas of the business and who our audiences are
  • Gain an excellent rounded understanding of Marketing by working across five departments.  
  • Receive on-the-job training as well as a structured learning programme ranging from technical knowledge to interpersonal skills
  • Receive full financial support to become professionally qualified through the Chartered Institute of Marketing
  • Be part of an international graduate cohort, gaining a global network of peers across the business
  • Receive support and guidance from our Early Careers Team, your Grad Buddy, and Senior Sponsor
