  We do things a bit differently here
  Ando are proud to be a majority-locally owned multi-lines insurance business. We operate as an underwriting agency in partnership with The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd and sell our policies through New Zealand’s leading insurance brokers.
  At Ando we believe that the fundamental purpose and function of insurance is to help people reduce their losses when bad things happen. That’s why at Ando we’ve always believed in the importance of treating your insurance as a relationship, not a transaction. And why our purpose is to positively impact the wellbeing of New Zealanders.
  The role
  We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, high-performing Business Analyst with strong analytical and stakeholder engagement capabilities to join the Ando Digital Delivery team.
  Reporting to the Head of Digital Strategy, you will be working with key business and delivery team stakeholders to enhance the way in which we work, using technology and process improvements to enable smarter ways of working to deliver valued Insurance solutions to our internal teams and external customers.

  You will be confident in building a strong understanding of business problems and needs, accurately capturing business requirements that are understandable to business users and usable by delivery teams. Using your well-developed business analysis skills, combined with your ability to communicate with business users and technology team members, you will enable and support continuous business improvement both in practical deliveries and business mindsets.
  In addition to strong communication and process improvement skills, you will have project experience working in the insurance sector (either for an insurance company or in a broker environment).
