Auckland City, New Zealand Suncorp Group Full time

Want to be part of a valued, award-winning team in an organisation making a difference to New Zealanders and protecting what matters most to them? There has never been a more important time to be part of the insurance industry, responding to climate events, adapting to regulatory change and facing into social and environmental issues.

This is a fixed-term role for 12 months in the Suncorp legal team. This is a critical role to provide legal advice across a range of legal and regulatory matters, as well as BAU functions such as claims, underwriting and insurance.

Our team prides itself on its supportive culture and flexible ways of working. You should feel confident having autonomy and exhibit strong learning agility, while also enjoying the support of experienced and high performing peers.

The role will require you to provide advice on a diverse range of issues including:

- Advising on policy response.
- Policy wording drafting and review.
- Advising on legislation changes and helping to ensure compliance.
- Dispute resolution and settlement negotiation.
- Advising on liability claims against insureds and/or Vero.
- Recovery actions against third parties.
- Preparing submissions for tribunals, the Insurance and Financial Services Ombudsman and insurance related regulatory matters.
- Advising on marketing and other communications, contractual issues including those relating to intermediaries.
- Delivering training to the business.

This opportunity is a challenging one requiring you to liaise closely with a number of internal stakeholders including senior leaders across the business in NZ.

What we are looking for:

- Law Degree or equivalent and admission as a solicitor with current practising certificate in New Zealand (mandatory)
- 7+ years PQE in civil litigation in private or in-house practice
- Working knowledge of insurance law in New Zealand
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- An ability to deal with a wide variety of people and to maintain and support strong working relationships with stakeholders

We’re proud to be a part of the Suncorp Group family alongside some of Australia and New Zealand’s most trusted names in insurance - working together to bring about faster, simpler and better outcomes for our customers and corporate partners. Our commitment to strong, supportive partnerships extends to our people as well, and the opportunities and support we provide to help you thrive in your career with us. And with a shared customer-obsession and the digital capabilities to make a genuine difference, you’ll see the meaningful impact you can make for our customers and communities, while watching your own career shine too.
