Job Description

At Suncorp New Zealand, great relationships are at the heart of what we do. We're looking for a Business Development Manager to help us grow and strengthen our broker partnerships across the region.

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people, spotting opportunities and turning conversations into long-term business partnerships. You'll spend your time out in market, meeting with brokers, understanding their needs, supporting their success and identifying opportunities to grow together.

If you're a natural relationship builder who loves being on the road, working autonomously and making things happen, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

As our next Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of broker partners.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

  • Build trusted relationships with brokers and become their go-to contact.
  • Identify opportunities to grow business across your portfolio.
  • Develop and execute account plans that deliver strong commercial outcomes.
  • Work closely with underwriting and internal teams to support brokers and customers.
  • Help brokers navigate opportunities, challenges and complex insurance solutions.
  • Represent the Vero brand in market and champion what makes us different.
  • Keep close to market trends and share insights that help shape our approach.
  • Travel regularly throughout the region to stay connected with your broker network.

What you'll bring

Success in this role comes down to your ability to build trusted relationships and identify opportunities for growth.

You'll have experience in business development, relationship management or a similar commercial role, along with a proven ability to influence stakeholders and achieve results. You're comfortable managing your own portfolio, navigating competing priorities and working collaboratively to deliver outcomes for customers and partners.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Experience in business development, relationship management or account management within the commercial General Insurance industry, including strong knowledge of the broker and intermediated insurance market.
  • A track record of growing and maintaining successful client, partner or broker relationships.
  • Strong commercial acumen and the ability to identify opportunities that drive mutually beneficial outcomes.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • The ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities and stay focused on results.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and discretionary annual bonus
  • Flexible leave of up to 4 days per year in addition to annual leave
  • Free life, salary continuance and trauma insurance cover
  • Discounts on Vero insurance and different retailers
  • $250 annually towards wellness activities
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities
  • Positive, inclusive team environment where we welcome individuality and celebrate diversity
  • Flexible work arrangements embracing a healthy work/life balance

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
