Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll lead a wide portfolio, customer engagement, insights, complaints, service and retention, brand, marketing strategy, and more. This is a genuinely enterprise-level role with real influence. You'll partner at the highest levels of the business locally and regionally, drive excellence, and play a critical part in positioning Chubb Life NZ for long-term, sustainable growth.

• Champion a seamless, high-quality customer experience across all touchpoints — from claims to underwriting — ensuring fair conduct, strong service, and consistent messaging.

• Build and execute marketing, brand, and customer strategies that strengthen retention, deepen relationships, and support Chubb Life NZ's growth ambitions.

• Partner directly with the CEO, SLT, and global teams to influence enterprise priorities, lead change, and deliver initiatives that position Chubb Life NZ as a top-performing insurer.

To be successful and grow in this role, you will ideally bring the following:

• Proven executive leadership experience running large, multi-functional customer or marketing operations within financial services or complex regulated environments.

• Strong background in customer experience, journey mapping, service delivery, and designing customer-centric strategies that enhance trust, reputation, and advocacy.

• Expertise in operational excellence — including complaints management, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and driving consistently high service standards.

• Deep understanding of consumer marketing, brand management, digital engagement, and the ability to turn insights and analytics into commercially impactful action.
