Financial Services Jobs in Dubai That Pay Well


If you are looking for insurance jobs in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE or the Middle East, then you should be aware that you have quite a few options at your fingertips.

With the various types of insurance companies that are present in Dubai, as well as numerous firms with insurance departments, there is more than a slight chance of finding the right type of insurance job in Dubai.

You probably already know that there are many kinds of insurance policies that are available for personal and business use. Among the most common are medical insurance, life insurance, home insurance, and travel insurance. Then you also have malpractice insurance, automobile insurance, and so many more.

Since the demand for insurance never fully disappears, in Dubai and elsewhere in the world, you can be sure of finding a large number of international financial services jobs, particularly if you are looking to expand your career overseas.  But for the purposes of this article, we will look at some of the most advertised insurance jobs in the UAE, and in Dubai specifically.

Jobs in insurance, including risk management jobs, can be found across various industrial and commercial sectors. You will find some insurance companies, for instance, looking for medical underwriting applicants, whose job it will be to underwrite health insurance risks and issue the appropriate documents. Certain insurance firms are also looking for medical processing officers, who will be responsible for supervising their respective claims processing departments.

You can find information about Dubai job opportunities for insurance professionals on various Internet job-search engines and on the web sites of many recruitment agencies. It would be wise to pay attention not only to the salaries and benefits that come with a certain job, but also to the job requirements and the qualifications that potential employers are seeking from job candidates.

For instance, if you are thinking of applying for a job as a claims manager, you should have significant experience in claims management in Saudi Arabia – if you are going for a position at a company called Randstad Middle East in Dubai, that is. You should also be a strong negotiator, with at least three years experience in people management. That particular job comes with an annual salary of approximately USD $50,000.

Underwriting jobs, which can pay from USD $6,000 to USD $8,000 a month, are also available in Dubai. Details of requirements may differ from company to company, but generally speaking, you would usually need to have at least two years of underwriting experience, preferably in the Gulf Region. In addition, some insurance companies specifically look for those who have an excellent understanding of the most common professional indemnity (PI) products for corporate customers.

There are also job openings for insurance advisors or consultants, who earn their income through the commissions they receive. Some companies provide extensive training programs for their consultants, as well as financial assistance to start with until they are ready to go on a commission basis. For jobs like this, you would need to have a background in selling as well as strong salesmanship skills.

Insurance jobs are just part of the diverse career opportunities you can find in Dubai's financial services industry. There are a lot of factors to consider, but with the right skills, attitude, and experience, they can bring you higher up the career ladder or equip you with more knowledge and skills to build your own business later.
