At Ando, we’re doing insurance differently.

We’ve built our business on strong relationships, smart thinking, and genuinely supporting our broker partners. Due to an internal promotion, we’re looking for a new Business Development Manager to join our Southern Commercial team.

This role is about more than just chasing new business. It’s a balanced mix of relationship management, strategic growth, and broker engagement. You’ll work closely with an established group of brokers while continuing to grow Ando’s presence across the Canterbury, Nelson & Marlborough regions (including travelling).

What you’ll be doing

• Managing and developing an established portfolio of broker relationships

• Supporting brokers with commercial insurance solutions across the SME and mid-market space

• Identifying opportunities to grow the book through existing relationships and new broker connections

• Partnering closely with internal underwriting teams to deliver responsive, solutions-focused service

• Representing Ando in market and building strong regional presence

About you

You’re an experienced insurance professional with a background in commercial underwriting, relationship management and new business development. While previous insurer experience would be ideal, we’re also open to candidates from a broking background (or mix of both!)

You’ll be someone who:

• Enjoys being out in market and building genuine relationships

• Brings strong commercial acumen and understands the broker distribution model

• Communicates confidently and builds trust naturally

• Takes a proactive, collaborative approach to growing business

Why Ando?

We’re proud to have built a business that’s high-performing without losing the human side. You’ll join a supportive, down-to-earth team that values flexibility, collaboration, and doing great work together.

We offer some great perks, including:

• Life & Income Protection Insurance

• $500 annual wellbeing allowance

• 20 wellness (sick) days per year

• Generous parental leave benefits

• Brand new Christchurch offices with a proper coffee machine!
