Are You an Underwriter Who Thrives in a Cross Field of Cyber and Financial Lines?

We are looking to expand our underwriting team in Finland with a new team member, who will be responsible for growing our Liability insurance portfolio, especially focusing on our Cyber and Financial Lines insurance service offerings. The position is a full-time permanent role based in our Helsinki office.

Who are we?

The RiskPoint Group is a global Managing General Underwriter (MGU) providing best-in-class insurance solutions backed by the insurance companies we act on behalf of.

We operate in an agile company with close cross-border cooperation across all business lines.

Our company structure is flat, leaving many opportunities for all employees to make a difference, take responsibility, excel, and grow.

About the team

Our Finnish office, located in Helsinki, is home to a small but energetic and driven team of underwriters dedicated solely to our liability insurance products.

In total, our company’s Liabilities department comprises 59 experts from six countries, specializing in various fields of liability insurance. The department is organized by product specialties and we regularly hold seminars to share updates, transfer knowledge, and strengthen ourselves as a global team.

You will become part of our growing Cyber team, currently consisting of 22 highly skilled and multinational underwriters located in the Nordics and across Europe.

About the position

As our new Underwriter, your role will primarily be responsible to manage our Tech PI portfolio, with a broader focus on underwriting and business development of our Cyber insurance offering in Finland.

In our small office operations, roles are often interchangeable, allowing you to work across multiple product lines. The flexibility means that depending on your skills, capabilities, and interests, there is potential for the role to adapt and expand in the future.

You will become part of a dynamic and fast-growing business environment and insurance marketplace, engaging daily with colleagues, insurance brokers, insured clients, and alternative distribution channels. Collaborating closely with other members of our Finnish Liabilities department will become a big part of your every day.

Examples of responsibilities include:

• Interacting with brokers and carriers and negotiating first-class business deals
• Conducting technical, legal and financial risk analysis to provide necessary risk reviews and sophisticated, informed underwriting decisions
• Nurturing and maintaining the existing product portfolios
• Developing new business of Cyber and Financial Lines products in Finland
• Obtaining insights into cyber and financial lines risks in different sized Finnish enterprises, both in Finland and globally

A great match for us

As this is a dynamic role, dealing with a variety of tasks, it is important that you are energetic, ambitious, and have an entrepreneurial spirit.

To be successful in this role, it is important that you are service-minded as well as a team player. Virtual interactions are as much a part of our day-to-day work life as in-person communication is, and we are looking for someone who enjoys building new relationships locally and across borders. Moreover, we expect you to be trustworthy and helpful, take responsibility, and thrive with increasing levels of independence.

However, the most important attribute is your attitude towards and dedication to the job, as well as your interest in developing your skills and driving our business forward together with your team.

We hope you have:

• Suitable educational background ideally, but not restricted to, information security, economics, engineering, business administration, or law
• Experience with cyber security, financial analysis, risk assessment, and/or contractual terms
• Understanding of marketing, sales-oriented working methods, and business administration is preferred but not required
• Capability to work independently with a proactive attitude
• Ability to manage complex tasks
• Good negotiation skills
• Flexible attitude and ability to self-manage
