Make a Difference at Ansvar

At Ansvar Insurance, we are transforming the way we operate. As specialists in the Care, Community, Faith, Education, and Heritage sectors, we are modernising our business while staying true to our purpose—protecting those who serve others.

About the role

Ansvar Australia, who are proudly part of Benefact Group, are looking for a Senior Underwriter to join our Sydney office.

Joining Ansvar as a Senior Underwriter takes your insurance career to the next level with genuine opportunities for professional growth and skill development. This role offers the exciting opportunity to write multiline business across our diverse mid-market portfolio, giving you exposure to multiple product areas and significantly broadening your underwriting expertise.

You’ll enjoy genuine autonomy in underwriting medium to complex risks while having the backing of an experienced team. The role combines technical underwriting excellence with relationship building - you get out of the office regularly for broker and client visits across the Northern Region, making this role perfect for someone who values variety and human connection in their work.

Key responsibilities

- Assist in the growth and maintenance of profitable, sustainable business within the allocated State’s portfolio of business

- Undertake personal underwriting of the schemes and medium to large sized policies, including new business

- Deliver professional and efficient customer service to brokers and distribution partners, as well as internal colleagues

- Assist the Northern Region Manager and wider Underwriting & Distribution team in maximising the profitability of the Ansvar’s portfolio

- Contribute to the alignment of risk and compliance management practises within the allocated portfolio by sitting at the first line of defence

- Contribute to developing a workplace learning environment

Knowledge, skills and experience

- Multi-line property and casualty experience (or the hunger to develop it - we’ll invest in your training)

- Broker relationship skills - you love building genuine connections

- Commercial lines expertise with at least 5 years of underwriting and business development experience

- ANZIIF Associate qualification (completed or in progress) or relevant tertiary qualifications

- Natural relationship builder who thrives in a collaborative, positive environment

- Business passion - you’re genuinely excited about insurance and driving results

Why Join Us?

We are embracing significant organisational change and need innovative thinkers and change makers who want to shape the future, not just be part of it.

Your Voice Matters: Work directly with decision-makers who champion fresh ideas and where you can make a genuine impact.

Diverse Opportunities: As a nimble, dynamic organisation, you’ll gain exposure to challenging projects and cross-functional skills.

Meaningful Work: From our Community Education Programme to protecting heritage buildings and partnering with faith-based and community organisations, your work will make a tangible difference.

- Competitive salary with generous industry performance bonuses

- Generous leave, including birthday, well-being, paid parental, volunteering, and more

- Flexible hybrid working in modern CBD offices

- Tailored professional development programs
