Description

The Global Risk Solutions (GRS) Cyber Advisory Services (CAS) team would like you to consider joining us to consult with underwriters on the technical risk associated with organizations seeking cyber insurance. We also need your help bridging the lines of communication between the stakeholders (underwriters, CISOs, and security savvy agents/brokers), and building our tools, services, and processes.

Why we need you

Cyber insurance is projected to grow from $13 billion in 2023 to $33 billion in 2027. Unlike other lines of insurance which can be underwritten using traditional, cyber insurance requires understanding an individual organization’s specific technical situation in context. Additionally, cyber insurance is an ongoing relationship. Many of our clients want help with their cyber security.

This role provides advisory services to our clients to equip them to manage their cyber risk. Every day you’ll meet with people who have a new challenge to solve. And at the end of the day, you’ll have their appreciation for your help and will have made the world a better place.

Who We Are

Let us tell you a little bit about who you’ll be working with. The CAS team is specifically responsible for a few things:

• Helping underwriters (who decide who/what to insure for what price) understand the cyber risk of an organization.
• Helping clients manage and improve their security on an ongoing basis.
• Helping design technical tools to make #1 and #2 more efficient.

One of the most rewarding things about this role is that you’ll be creating win/win/win solutions, because the incentives of our company, our partners, and the incentives of our clients all align on making the world a safer, more secure place.

CAS works alongside our product (the insurance policies) team, our cyber strategy team, the cyber underwriters, and multiple other teams (Collectively the Global Cyber Underwriting office). Outside of the United States we are looking for candidates in Europe, Latin America, South America, Canada, and Mexico.

In the United States, if you aren’t near one of the major Liberty Mutual offices, the role can be 100% remote. Near a major office, the plan is two days a week in the office. If you’re near Boston or Portsmouth, you’ll be collocated with our internal security team whom we work with heavily. We also have significant underwriting presence in Boston, New York, Chicago, and several other major cities if you prefer coming into the office a few days a week.

Being on global team, we need an inclusive mindset and willingness build trust with partners from different backgrounds and varying interests.

If you’ve been a consulting security engineer, a consulting security architect, a CISO, a security evangelist, a pre-sales security engineer, or a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) analyst (or anything with similar experience), this job may be right for you.

What It’s Ok Not To Be

We don’t need you to understand insurance. That you can learn here. We won’t make you do lots of math (unless you want to of course!) You don’t need to be the perfect cyber security professional. We aren’t prefect. You don’t need to be either. It’s ok not to be dedicated to work at the exclusion of everything else. Work-life balance is important.

What To Expect

The need for us is immediate, but we will likely take our time to find the right candidate. There won’t be any ‘tests’, just conversations for the interviews. We’ll have a few rounds over a couple weeks with folks who have security, underwriting, and leadership backgrounds

• Insurance underwriting is essentially a science of making good, rational, data-supported educated guesses in identifying which companies are more or less risky relative to peers.

Qualifications

What we need

In short, we need cyber security SMEs who can communicate with stakeholders. You’ll use:

• Technical skills. We don’t expect you to know everything but do need you to have a good working knowledge of information security. Self-learning, skills, certifications, or standards knowledge are all acceptable ways of demonstrating your information security knowledge.
• Communication skills. Having a knack for explaining cyber security to folks internal and external, senior and junior, experienced in cyber security and non-technical. Being able to speak Spanish, French, or German in addition to English is a plus but not required.
• The ability to handle uncertainty and complexity. Risk assessment is complex, and underwriters are working under time pressure, so all the information is often not available. We’ll be asking you to make your best guess based on the information at hand. An adaptable mindset is often needed to be able to think both like a cybersecurity professional, as well as an underwriter (1). And you’ll often need to be able to see the broad, strategic picture beyond the details.
