We are looking for a Customer Support Associate here at INSHUR; based in our Brighton office with potential to work from home for a day or so per week.

- Assist in processing renewals, mid-term adjustments and cancellations on existing insurance policies
- Identify ways to improve our customer journey, using your initiative to suggest effective solutions
- Undertake other administrative tasks as may be deemed necessary from time to time and provide cover for other members of staff
- Play an integral part of a growing team with the aim of continuing our international success
We'd love to hear from you if you:

- You are able to remotely work a 40-hour shift pattern between the hours of 8 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday
Your colleagues say you:
