Job Description

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in how good conduct is encouraged and monitored across New Zealand's insurance sector.  

The Role - Te Tūranga 

As Manager, Insurance, you'll lead a close-knit team of around five advisers and senior advisers responsible for the active supervision of the insurance sector. You'll support and develop your team to use a risk- and outcomes-based approach to regulation, with a clear focus on enhancing conduct and delivering better outcomes for consumers. 

This is first and foremost a people leadership role, providing coaching, mentoring, operational oversight and pastoral care. You'll also play an important role in shaping our supervisory approach, supporting industry engagement, and ensuring we stay ahead of emerging conduct risks and developments. 

About You - Ō Pūkenga 

You're an experienced and inspiring people leader who brings strong regulatory knowledge and a passion for building team capability. You may have gained your experience within a regulator, or in-house within financial services - either way, you understand the impact that conduct has on consumer outcomes. 

While technical insurance knowledge is an advantage, it's not essential - more important is your ability to lead with purpose, apply a regulatory mindset, and influence positive change in a complex environment.

  • 4% employer KiwiSaver contribution
