Working closely with the London Market Claims Leadership and the Group Claims Team you will drive the continuous development and improvement of the London Market Hiscox Claims service and commitment to do what is right for our customers. What is HPS? This new division consists of four distinct but complementary teams: Alternative Risk – Written within Hiscox London Market since 2015, the team selectively backs world-class underwriting expertise targeting the most profitable segments of the market. Beta-Follow – Supporting select broker cross-class facilities to create a diversified portfolio of risk, with high indexation. Global MGA – Engaging with MGAs to provide strategic support to create a diversified portfolio of risk.
