A newly established underwriting agency is building its Sydney team and is seeking a Senior Strata Underwriter to play a key role in shaping its strata portfolio from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join a start-up underwriting agency at an early stage — helping build broker relationships, define underwriting appetite, and grow a book in one of the most active corners of the Australian insurance market.

\n

The Role

\n

\n
• Underwrite a portfolio of Residential & Commercial Strata risks, applying strong technical judgement across pricing, terms and risk selection
\n
• Build and manage relationships with brokers and strata managers nationally
\n
• Represent the agency at industry events, broker meetings and within the wider strata community
\n
• Contribute to the development of underwriting guidelines and appetite as the agency scales
\n
• Work closely with leadership to help shape the direction of the strata book
\n

\n

About You

\n

\n
• Proven experience underwriting Property and/or large Strata risk
\n
• Strong technical underwriting skills with sound commercial judgement
\n
• Genuine enjoyment of broker engagement, relationship-building and networking
\n
• Established relationships within the Strata / Broker community highly regarded
\n
• Comfortable operating in a lean, fast-moving start-up environment
\n
• Self-motivated with an entrepreneurial mindset — this is a chance to build something, not just administer an existing book
\n

\n

Why This Role

\n

\n
• Ground-floor opportunity with a new underwriting agency, with strong backing.
\n
• Autonomy to shape process, appetite and broker strategy
\n
• Direct access to experienced senior leaders and decision makers
\n
• Exposure across underwriting, claims, operations, distribution and portfolio management.
\n
• Modern technology and data, without the legacy system constraints

If you're a Property/ Strata underwriter who wants more ownership over how a book is built — rather than simply managing an inherited portfolio — this is worth a conversation.
