Our graduate programmes are designed with you in mind. It's our priority to equip you with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to be successful in your role at Markel and beyond.
The opportunity
We support the professional growth of every graduate with on-the-job experience, technical and professional skills training, and the opportunity to receive professional qualifications. Throughout your programme, you'll not only develop expertise in your field, but acquire valuable knowledge from across the business through rotations, projects and mentoring. Also, did we mention our graduate roles are permanent roles from day one?
The Asia Pacific offices are located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Dubai, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and currently there are 120 colleagues in this region. Working closely with underwriting teams in London, Markel Asia is empowered to underwrite risk on behalf of Markel's Syndicate 3000 at Lloyd's.
This programme will be run by Markel International Singapore Pte Ltd. As a graduate on the Asia Underwriting programme, you'll be assigned to one of the following underwriting divisions:
