Administrative Assistant (Pathway into Underwriting)

Administrative Assistant (Pathway into Underwriting)

05-6-26    Sydney / Permanent

If you’re looking to kick-start your career in insurance and actually get real exposure (not just filing and sitting on the sidelines), this could be a great next step.

This is an Administrative Assistant role with a growing underwriting business in Sydney CBD. It’s well suited to someone early in their career, ideally a recent graduate or someone who wants to build a long-term path into underwriting.
  
You will receive proper exposure to Financial Lines insurance and the chance to work closely with experienced underwriters who will actually invest time in your development.
  
You’ll learn how insurance decisions are made, how policies are structured, and how brokers and clients are supported in a fast-moving environment.

Day to day, you’ll be the person helping keep things moving. That means speaking with clients and brokers over the phone, handling enquiries, and making sure they’re supported quickly and professionally.
  
You’ll also be involved in policy documentation, endorsements, renewals, Certificates of Currency, data entry, and general underwriting support work.

Over time, you won’t just be stuck in admin. You’ll get exposure to schemes and projects and gradually take on more ownership as you build confidence and capability.
  
The idea is that you grow with the team, not stay static.
This role will suit someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, asking questions, and learning as they go.
  
You don’t need to know everything but you do need to be curious, switched on, and willing to back yourself.
  
Strong communication skills are important, especially when dealing with brokers and clients, along with solid attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple tasks.

In return, you’ll get Sydney CBD location, hybrid working, mentoring from experienced underwriters, and a clear pathway into an underwriting career if that’s where you want to go.

If you’re looking for a role where you can learn quickly, build real industry experience, and move beyond pure admin into something more commercial, this is worth a chat.
