What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level underwriting role in a collaborative insurance team focusing on commercial risk assessment, policy administration and systems (TIA/Omniflo), offering growth, mentoring and increased responsibility. I am willing to relocate within South Africa.

I am an insurance underwriter with a BBA from Heriot-Watt University and a Higher National Diploma (BTEC Level 5). I blend formal business training with hands-on operational experience in short-term and commercial insurance.

I specialize in commercial underwriting, risk analysis and policy administration, working extensively with systems such as TIA, Omniflo, BPM and Workbench to process quotes, renewals, refunds, reinstatements and new business. I routinely handle broker relations, authorizations, schedule management and administrative analytics, and have been recognized for service performance as a weekly service brand ambassador winner.

I am organized, adaptable and team-oriented, able to manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and client focus. I am eager to grow my underwriting expertise and contribute to a collaborative insurance team.
