At Specialist Risk Group Australia, we specialise in delivering expert risk solutions for complex, high-stakes challenges across a range of sectors. From insurance and professional indemnity to bespoke risk management services, our work demonstrates both precision and adaptability, reflecting our commitment to helping clients navigate even the most demanding scenarios.
Our dedication to excellence and innovative thinking underpins everything we do. Guided by our mantra, "Difficult. Done Well.", we tackle challenges that others shy away from, delivering solutions that are both robust and forward-thinking.
Since launching in Australia, we have been deliberate in building a business that combines local knowledge with the depth of an international platform. Our culture is rooted in kindness, accountability and high performance, and we are proud to be building a company our people are proud to be part of.
About the Role
This is a senior broking role with a strong placement focus - combining account management with the opportunity to build and own SRG Australia's placement capability as the business grows.
You will be the key conduit between our client servicing teams and the insurance market - developing and executing placement strategies, negotiating with underwriters, and setting the strategic direction of our insurer relationships. With a particular focus on complex and hard-to-place property and casualty risks, you will bring your established market relationships and technical expertise to bear in an environment where your contribution will be highly visible and genuinely valued.
For the right person, this is an prospect to join at an early and exciting stage of a growing business - shaping how we go to market, setting the foundations of our insurer engagement strategy, and growing with us as the placement function evolves.
This role can be based from either our Melbourne or Sydney CBD office.
How This Opportunity Is Different
At SRG Australia, you will not be one of many. You will be joining a close-knit, high-performing team at a pivotal stage of our growth - with the backing of an international specialist platform and the autonomy to make a real impact from day one.
This is a partner-level appointment.
We are looking for someone who wants to build something, not just maintain it - someone who sees the opportunity in complexity and has the market relationships, technical depth, and strategic mindset to help shape the way SRG Australia engages with the insurance market for years to come.
What You Will Be Doing
- Developing and executing placement strategies across property and casualty risks, including complex and hard-to-place exposures
- Acting as SRG Australia's primary market-facing representative - building and maintaining deep, strategic relationships with underwriters across domestic P&C; markets
- Negotiating terms, conditions, and pricing to secure optimal outcomes for clients, drawing on your knowledge of market appetite and capacity
- Setting and managing strategic insurer panel agreements to support SRG Australia's long-term growth ambitions
- Managing a portfolio of client accounts, acting as a trusted advisor and ensuring a high standard of service across the broking relationship
- Partnering with internal broker and client servicing teams to ensure seamless delivery from placement through to renewal
- Keeping abreast of changing market conditions and communicating key developments to internal teams and clients
- Identifying and pursuing new business opportunities - particularly in specialist and hard-to-place property risks - and contributing to SRG's appetite for growth
- Contributing to a culture of continuous improvement through knowledge-sharing and mentorship of broking colleagues
Who We Are Looking For
You are a senior, placement-focused broker with deep P&C; market knowledge and a well-developed insurer network built over a meaningful career. You understand how to navigate the market on behalf of clients, and you know how to set strategy - not just place risk.
You are energised by the prospect of joining a business at an early stage and playing a defining role in shaping its market presence.
- Significant experience in a broking, placement, or underwriting role with a strong focus on property and casualty
- A well-developed network of underwriter relationships across domestic P&C; markets, and the ability to leverage and strengthen those relationships strategically
- Demonstrated ability to develop and implement insurer engagement strategies for complex or hard-to-place risks
- Sound understanding of market conditions, insurer appetite, and coverage across major P&C; classes
- Experience managing client accounts alongside a placement function - comfortable operating across both
- An appetite for new business and the commercial instinct to identify and pursue opportunity
- A current Tier 1 insurance broking licence
- Excellent negotiation, communication, and influencing skills
- Strong digital literacy and a genuine willingness to adapt to new systems and processes as our technology continues to evolve
What You Will Get
When you join SRG Australia, you're stepping into more than just a role - you're becoming part of a team that backs your ambitions and celebrates your success. We'll give you the space, support, and opportunities to grow your skills, explore new challenges, and shape a career you're proud of.
You will have access to the resources and reach of an international specialist platform, while working in a close-knit team where your contribution is genuinely recognised - and where you will have a real hand in shaping how we go to market.
What to Expect
