About the role

  • Credit & Political Risk is a specialist area of insurance broking that helps businesses manage the risk of non payment when trading, lending, investing, or operating in uncertain markets.
  • As a graduate, you’ll gain exposure to Trade Credit, Structured Credit, and Political Risk.

What you’ll be doing

  • Gain hands on experience supporting brokers with trade credit, structured credit, and political risk solutions.
  • Learn how businesses use insurance to help manage non payment risk, support financial resilience, and trade or invest with greater confidence.
  • Work alongside experienced colleagues to understand client needs, review relevant information, and support discussions with insurers.
  • Help analyse options and develop clear, practical recommendations that support client decision making.
  • Build an understanding of how commercial, financial, political, and economic factors can affect contracts, payments, lending, investment, and international trade.
  • Collaborate with broking, placement, claims, analytics, and support teams to deliver high quality service to clients across the insurance lifecycle.
  • Participate in training, networking, and development opportunities designed to build your commercial awareness, technical knowledge, confidence, and professional skills.

What are we looking for?

  • No insurance experience is required; we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
  • We’re looking for recent graduates who are excited to learn, commercially curious, and interested in how businesses manage financial, commercial, and geopolitical risk.
  • A degree in economics, finance, law, or a related subject would be particularly relevant.
  • Strong analytical ability, attention to detail, and genuine curiosity about this area.
  • Curious about finance, economics, law, global trade, emerging markets, and how businesses manage uncertainty.
  • Comfortable working with data and numbers; experience using Excel, including formulas and pivot tables, would be beneficial.
  • A relationship builder who enjoys connecting with people, communicating clearly, and working collaboratively.
  • Resilient and motivated, with the ability to take ownership and keep moving things forward.
  • A practical problem solver with a positive, solutions focused mindset and an eagerness to keep learning.

Application Process

  • Online application form
  • Online gamified assessment
  • Pre recorded video interview (audio only option available)
  • Interview Super Day: virtual case study and interviews
