We do things a bit differently here

Ando are proud to be a majority-locally owned multi-lines insurance business. We operate as an underwriting agency in partnership with The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd 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.

About the role

Due to a promotion, we’re on the lookout for a driven Commercial Development Underwriter to join our high-performing Northern Commercial Markets team in Auckland. This role blends commercial underwriting with business development — and at its heart, it’s all about building strong relationships.

You’ll take ownership of our body corporate portfolio, managing the end-to-end process for both new business and renewals. You’ll work closely with our broker partners to deliver tailored solutions, drive growth, and ensure exceptional service.

• Manage and grow a portfolio of clients across a range of Commercial Lines products, with a focus on body corporate.

• Generate new business and maximise premium and renewal retention, while maintaining sound underwriting principles.

• Build trusted relationships that strengthen partnerships and expand Ando’s presence in the market.

• Ensure all risks are underwritten and accepted within authorised limits.

• Identify opportunities for process improvement and contribute to team-wide efficiencies.

• Monitor and analyse trends across renewals and claims, achieving high levels of quote conversion and meeting turnaround time SLAs.

About you

You’ll bring around 6+ years’ experience working across commercial lines products, with a solid understanding of the New Zealand insurance market and emerging trends.

You’re a confident communicator who builds strong connections with both brokers and internal stakeholders, and you have the drive and discipline to meet — and exceed — growth targets.

Experience with body corporate insurance products such as Property, Public Liability, and Office Bearers’ Liability is a real advantage, along with familiarity with the Unit Titles Act.

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.
