What an average week should look like
Account Management
- Own a high-value portfolio of $100k-plus accounts—founders, fintechs, web3, SaaS, marketplaces and other fast-growing businesses—acting as their trusted advisor for all commercial-lines needs.
- Serve as the single point of contact for day-to-day queries, policy changes, endorsements and claims, ensuring rapid turnaround and white-glove service.
- Run proactive account reviews every quarter: analyse coverage, surface exposure gaps, and recommend upsell / cross-sell solutions (e.g., cyber, management liability) that align with each client’s growth stage.
- Coordinate renewals from end-to-end—calendar key dates, gather updated risk data, negotiate terms with underwriters, and present competitive options to decision-makers.
- Escalate and resolve complex issues by liaising with underwriting, specialty and product teams, balancing client interests with insurer appetite and compliance requirements.
Sales
- Build and nurture pipelines – identify each prospect’s insurance gaps early, map them to our product suite, and personalise outreach to founders, CXOs and brokers.
- Lead persuasive demos & negotiations – run tailored presentations, address objections, and close new business with a consultative, value-led approach.
- Own the quote-to-bind workflow – scope risk, draft compliant quotes and proposals, generate policy docs, and secure sign-off in line with Australian regulations.
- Drive upsell / cross-sell motions – use discovery calls and quarterly reviews to introduce complementary covers (cyber, PI, management liability) and grow account ARR.
- Ensure smooth post-sale hand-off – coordinate onboarding, policy activation and data capture with Customer Success so clients see value from day one.
Underwriting & Insurance Broking
- Assess commercial risks – review SME insurance submissions, analyse financials, industry exposures and claims history, and ensure every quote aligns with ASIC/AFSL and local regulatory standards.
- Research market capacity & pricing – track Australian industry trends, benchmark carrier appetite and loss ratios, and shape competitive underwriting decisions grounded in data.
- Prepare and place submissions – craft clear risk presentations for insurers and underwriting agencies, negotiate wording enhancements, endorsements and limits to secure best-fit terms.
- Broker optimal solutions – compare multi-carrier quotes, structure layered or co-insurance programmes where needed, and bind policies that balance price, coverage depth and compliance.
- Feed frontline insights into product & AI – log underwriting decisions and broking feedback to refine our rating algorithms and co-pilot rules, delivering faster, smarter recommendations to SMEs.
