Admin Assistant / Broker Associate

Details of the offer

If you are ready to take the first step towards a thriving career in the insurance industry, we invite you to join our team in Napier (which is known for its sunny climate, esplanade lined with Norfolk pines, and extensive Art Deco Architecture).
Your exceptional attention to detail will be crucial in providing administrative support to our brokers and assisting clients with their account, coverage, and policy inquiries. Additionally, excellent communication skills are essential, as you will be interacting with various stakeholders, both internally and externally.
You will need to be confident, proactive, adaptable, and resilient. These traits will enable you to navigate and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Your ability to think on your feet and make quick, informed decisions will be crucial in this role.
We value enthusiasm and a passion for learning. Although previous insurance experience would be an advantage, it is not required as we will provide full training and support to ensure your success in the role.
As a Broker Associate, your main responsibilities will include:
Resolve client queries (account and cover queries and policy amendments).
Assist the Broker with administration to ensure client requirements are met and policies are renewed on time.
Process alterations, endorsements, and set up new policies and finance agreements.
Provide support to the client when the Broker is unavailable.
Prepare and dispatch renewal letters (including declarations, rating charts/underwriter placements) after consultation with the Broker.
Assist the Broker with the collection of premiums within the required timeframe.
Prepare underwriter submissions and client reports for new business.
Skills and Experience:
Previous experience in an administrative or customer service role.
Previous insurance experience will be an added advantage.
The ability to build and maintain enduring relationships with clients and team members.
Highly organised and efficient with a strong attention to detail.
Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
Competent/advanced user of Microsoft Office.
A Certificate in Financial Services (NZQA Level 5) is required for this role; however, we understand that not all candidates may already possess this qualification. We are committed to supporting the professional development of our team members, and as such, for the right candidate, we offer a study support program where we will cover the costs and provide the necessary support for you to obtain your NZQA Level 5 qualification in Financial Services.
