We do things a bit differently here
Ando is a multi-lines insurance business and sell our policies through New Zealand’s leading insurance brokers.
At Ando we believe that the fundamental purpose and function of insurance is to help people reduce their losses when bad things happen. That’s why at Ando we’ve always believed in the importance of treating your insurance as a relationship, not a transaction. And why our purpose is to positively impact the wellbeing of New Zealanders.
The Role
As a Senior Personal Lines Underwriter, you’ll combine technical expertise with strong relationship management to deliver excellent outcomes for our brokers and customers. You’ll review and evaluate digital applications, set appropriate terms of coverage, and act as a subject matter expert for Personal Lines underwriting.
Alongside underwriting responsibilities, you’ll provide coaching and technical support to our team of Personal Lines Underwriters, sharing your knowledge and helping build capability within the team.
Key Responsibilities
- Underwrite new business, renewals, and referrals in line with Ando’s standards and risk appetite.
- Provide timely, accurate quotes and maintain strong broker relationships.
- Act as the first level of technical referral for Personal Lines Underwriters.
- Share expertise through mentoring, coaching, and contributing to learning and development initiatives.
- Support service level agreements with brokers and assist with broker complaint management.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement and contribute to team projects.
- Stay up to date with market trends, regulatory changes, and compliance requirements.
What We’re Looking For
- Around 5+ years’ experience in Personal Lines underwriting, ideally with exposure to the intermediated market.
- Strong understanding of underwriting principles, risk assessment, and policy development.
- ANZIIF qualification (Cert/Dip) or equivalent insurance qualifications highly regarded.
- Proven ability to deliver outstanding broker and customer service.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex concepts in plain language.
- A team player with integrity, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting others.
Want to surround yourself with great people?
We’re proud that we’re a bit different from regular insurance companies – knowing it’s our people and their relationships who make that difference. We know when to work hard, be focused and smart, but we also never underestimate the importance of the human connections that make us tick and get along together.
Jump in!
So, when you put a group of people together who all share that thought, you get a truly inclusive, supportive culture and a special group of people.
If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, then jump In!
