About the Role:

Do you like a challenge? If the answer is yes, then this is the role for you.

Reporting to the Head of Strategy and MI, this project-based role will stretch your problem
solving, programming and systems processing skills, while you provide solutions to our

What you will be doing as a Data Science Graduate:

• A healthy dose of common sense and the ability to think beyond the numbers in this graduate data scientist role are the foundations you’ll need to perform well in this team.

The problems that this team solve are important and challenging, but hey, what’s more exciting than a challenge?
• This is your chance to make a lasting impression! It has many unique selling points, with the most notable being the freedom to pioneer the work that you do at Hiscox! You will be given responsibility from day one, owning your own projects, you will be working with, and
• supported by experienced colleagues, including the CEO of our London Market team.
• If you’re still not convinced, then bear in mind that you will be one of three data scientists at Hiscox! (So you’ll be a pretty big deal).
