This role is designed for a senior workers compensation professional ready to step into a pivotal leadership position and build something meaningful from the ground up.

This long-standing, award-winning Insurance Broking House is launching a new Workers Compensation Consulting division, and this role will play a critical part in shaping its direction, service offering, and market presence. Working closely with senior leadership, you will establish the framework, lead client engagements, and drive the growth of a strategic, compliance-driven consulting service for mid-market and corporate clients.

This is a rare opportunity to design, lead, and scale a new division within a well-established and respected business.



In this senior consulting and leadership role, you will be responsible for both strategic development and hands-on delivery, acting as the technical authority for clients while building the operational foundations of the practice.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and implementing a comprehensive workers compensation consulting offering aligned with the broader advisory services of the business.

  • Providing expert advisory support to clients on premium optimisation, claims strategy, injury management, and cost containment.

  • Establishing internal processes for claims management, audits, reporting, and service delivery across jurisdictions.

  • Monitoring legislative changes and ensuring all client programmes remain compliant with applicable workers compensation frameworks.

  • Conducting audits and strategic reviews to identify risk exposure, cost-saving opportunities, and compliance gaps.

  • Leading client relationships at a senior level, delivering tailored solutions for complex and high-value portfolios.

  • Driving business growth through networking, partnerships, proposals, and thought leadership.

  • Recruiting, mentoring, and leading a small team as the division grows.

This role offers the opportunity to influence both strategy and execution, combining commercial acumen with deep technical expertise.



Requirements

We’re seeking a strategic, commercially minded workers compensation specialist with the confidence and capability to build and lead a consulting practice.

Key requirements include:

  • Extensive experience in workers compensation consulting, insurance, or risk management.

  • Strong working knowledge of Australian workers compensation legislation, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Demonstrated ability to develop, implement, and scale service offerings or advisory frameworks.

  • Proven stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to advise at executive and board level.

  • Leadership capability, with experience mentoring or managing teams.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

  • An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort operating in a start-up environment within an established business.



Benefits
  • Senior-level salary package commensurate with experience, as well as a generous incentive structure.

  • The opportunity to build and lead a new division with genuine autonomy.

  • Support from an established insurance broking house with strong infrastructure and market presence.

  • Exposure to complex, mid-market and corporate client portfolios.

  • Long-term career growth and leadership opportunities.

If you’re ready to take ownership and play a key role in shaping the success of a new consulting division, we’d love to hear from you.
