Description

We don’t look like your typical underwriting agency, and that’s exactly the point.

At Miramar Group, we’re built for brokers, not boardrooms. Our culture is relaxed, approachable, and proudly made in Manly since 2005. But make no mistake - when it comes to underwriting, we’re sharp, responsive, and deeply committed to helping brokers win.

We know the insurance industry can feel like paddling against the tide, with slow turnarounds, fragmented systems, and faceless platforms. That’s why we’ve built an underwriting group that’s made to make waves - to cut through the admin, simplify the process, and back brokers with smart tools, clear answers, and real human support.

Your new role at Miramar Group

We are looking for an Assistant Underwriter who enjoys supporting others, creating clarity and building strong relationships, and who brings curiosity, care and a collaborative mindset to their work.

You will work closely with underwriters, brokers and internal stakeholders across the Miramar Specialty business to support day‑to‑day operations, strengthen processes and deliver excellent service outcomes. You will bring your technical expertise and just as importantly, your ability to listen, collaborate and create an environment where people feel comfortable sharing ideas and raising challenges early. That is how we live our values together.

What your days may look like

You may start your morning checking in with underwriters and brokers, reviewing priorities and getting across any emerging requirements or deadlines. You might be coordinating workflows, managing inbox requests or supporting the preparation of policy documentation to help the team stay on track.

By midday, you could be deep in data entry, or document processing, turning complexity into clear and accurate records, while ensuring compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

In the afternoon, you might be partnering with underwriting teams and broader business units to process endorsements, support policy closings, monitor renewal timelines or assist with cross‑functional tasks as part of your ongoing development.

No two days look the same, but every day you will be contributing to work that supports our underwriting teams, strengthens our operations and delivers meaningful outcomes for our clients and partners.

  • Collaborate: Work closely with underwriters, brokers and internal stakeholders across the Miramar Specialty business to support day‑to‑day operations and deliver quality service outcomes.

  • Build: strong working relationships with underwriters, brokers and internal stakeholders while developing your technical knowledge across different insurance products and business units.
  • Contribute to improvements: by identifying opportunities to streamline processes, support service delivery and enhance the overall team and client experience.

What you will bring

  • Experience in insurance, financial services, broking administration, underwriting administration, accounts or finance, with confidence working across office‑based systems and administrative processes.
  • Strength in organisation, attention to detail, communication and time management, with the ability to work efficiently in a fast‑paced environment.
  • The ability to turn tasks requiring accuracy and process into clear, practical outcomes that support the broader team and client service experience.
  • A collaborative mindset, with the ability to work independently while also building strong working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.
  • Confidence using systems and tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Insight and Winbeat.
  • A willingness to learn, adapt and grow, along with enthusiasm for contributing to a positive team culture and living the company’s Together values.
