ABOUT THE COMPANY

Join a growing specialist underwriting agency operating within the insurance and financial services sector. Backed by an innovative global specialty insurance group with a presence across Australia, South Africa, the UK and Europe, the business combines the prospect and visibility of a smaller team with the strength of an established international organisation.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced administrator or operations professional who enjoys taking ownership, working with detail and being at the centre of a busy commercial environment.

You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day administration of a growing commercial bonds portfolio, managing transactions from initial issuance through to invoicing, variations, reconciliations, reporting and release. You’ll also become a key point of contact for brokers, clients, landlords and other external stakeholders, while working closely with underwriters and the wider operations team.

Far from a data-entry position, this role requires someone who can think critically, manage competing priorities and spot inconsistencies before they become problems.

DUTIES

- Manage bond administration from issuance through to variation, renewal, cancellation and release
- Prepare accurate bond documentation and coordinate digital execution
- Manage invoicing, premium statements, credit notes and outstanding payments
- Complete reconciliations and maintain accurate portfolio records
- Prepare regular bond, premium and exposure reporting
- Act as a key contact for brokers, clients, landlords and other external stakeholders




- Partner with underwriters to resolve administrative issues and keep requests moving
- Maintain accurate documentation and data across internal systems
- Identify opportunities to streamline processes as the portfolio grows
- Ensure transactions meet internal compliance, privacy and quality standards

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

- 3+ years’ experience in administration or operations within banking, insurance or financial services
- Strong experience managing high-volume, detail-heavy workflows
- Hands-on exposure to invoicing, receivables and/or reconciliations
- Confident communicating directly with external clients, brokers or customers
- Excellent attention to detail with strong commercial judgement
- Comfortable working through more complex requests rather than simply following a process
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Outlook
- Exposure to bank guarantees, surety bonds, commercial leases, legal documentation or commercial contracts would be highly regarded
- Experience across trade finance, insurance broking/underwriting support, commercial property, lending or credit operations could translate particularly well

BENEFITS

- This is an opportunity to be part of a growing,



dynamic business delivering innovative solutions across Australia, Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.
- Working closely with an established team of experienced managers within the credit risk insurance business, this position provides exposure to a broad range of transactions and industries
- Office-based role with five days onsite initially, moving to one WFH day per week after six months, with reasonable flexibility for occasional appointments when needed
