What does an Underwriter do?

As an underwriter, you'll analyse risk and determine the terms of insurance coverage. You'll assess applications, review data, and decide on appropriate premiums.

You'll work with a diverse range of risks and industries, from small businesses to large corporations, with opportunities to specialise in areas that interest you. No two days are ever the same in underwriting

  • Risk assessment: Analyse client applications, financial data, and market trends to assess risks.
  • Decision-making: Determine insurance terms, including coverage limits and premiums.
  • Client and broker communication: Collaborate with brokers and clients to gather information and explain decisions.
  • Market research: Stay informed about trends, regulations, and emerging risks in the industry.
  • Professional development: Participate in training sessions and pursue further studies, such as ANZIIF or CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional) accreditation.

Our clients offer a range of different benefits but here are some of our favourites:
