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.\nWe 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 look for solutions.\nScratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary. We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve. We might have been around for a long time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places.\nSome people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in touch.\nAbout Hiscox USA:\nHiscox USA was established in 2006 to focus primarily on the needs of small and middle market commercial clients, via both the broker and direct distribution channels and is today the fastest-growing business unit within the Hiscox Group.\nToday, Hiscox USA has a talent force of about 500 employees mostly operating out of 6 major cities - New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles and Scottsdale.
