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 join our Southern team, based in Christchurch, and 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.

This is a permanent full-time position based in Christchurch.

What you'll be doing

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

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
  • 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
  • Experience within insurance, financial services or a related industry would be advantageous

Why join us?

At Suncorp, you'll be part of a team that genuinely supports one another and celebrates success together.

We offer:

  • Flexibility and autonomy to manage your portfolio and schedule
  • A collaborative, high-performing team environment
  • The opportunity to work with one of New Zealand's leading insurance brands
  • Ongoing learning, development and career progression opportunities
  • A role where you can make a real impact for brokers, customers and communities

Most importantly, you'll join a business that's focused on doing the right thing for customers while helping our people grow and succeed.

We're committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work.

If you're ready for a role where your relationships, commercial thinking and drive can make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help shape the future of insurance partnerships across the South Island.

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.
