Aviso Specialty New Zealand – Expression of Interest

Build Aviso Specialty New Zealand with us

Don’t just join a business. Help build one.

Aviso Specialty is launching in New Zealand, and we’re building our foundational team.

We want to hear from exceptional insurance leaders, brokers and specialists who are excited by the opportunity to help shape a business from the ground up and be part of the journey from the beginning.

Built by New Zealand. Led by New Zealand. Connected globally.

The opportunity

Be there for the first client. The first team. The first milestone.

This isn’t about stepping into someone else’s model. It’s an opportunity to help create the model.

With leadership including Toni Ferrier and Josh Roach, Aviso Specialty New Zealand is being established to create a different kind of specialty broker for the New Zealand market.

We’re building Aviso Specialty New Zealand with a clear ambition: to create a New Zealand-led global specialty broker combining deep local relationships and judgement with specialist capability and global market access.

Our New Zealand team will have genuine local accountability and the ability to make decisions close to clients and the market, while drawing on the broader capability and backing of Aviso Specialty, Envest, Price Forbes and The Ardonagh Group.

The opportunity to build. The backing to make things happen.

Why people are talking to us

We’re creating a business designed around clients, relationships and local decision-making.

For the right people, that means:

• Greater local authority and decision-making
• Fewer layers between clients and expertise
• The opportunity to help shape the future business
• Equity ownership opportunities
• Access to specialist capability and international markets
• The chance to build something rather than inherit it

Confidential conversations

We understand that exploring a new opportunity needs to be handled carefully.

We’re happy to have an initial confidential conversation before discussing any formal opportunity, and we will not contact your current employer or undertake reference checks without your prior consent.

Who we want to meet

We’re starting conversations with talented insurance professionals across areas including:

• Mid-market corporate broking
• Senior broking leadership
• Specialty broking
• Industry and product specialisms
• Risk and insurance advisory
• Placement and market relationships

More important than a particular job title, we’re interested in meeting people who:

• Put clients and relationships at the centre of what they do
• Value autonomy, accountability and local decision-making
• Bring strong insurance market knowledge and relationships
• Want to challenge unnecessary complexity in traditional broking models
• Are excited by the opportunity to build rather than simply inherit
• Want to contribute to the long-term success of the business

Why Aviso Specialty?

We believe great broking is built around senior people staying close to their clients.

Our model is designed around strong relationships, direct access to expertise, local authority and advice that starts with understanding the client and their risks, not simply the insurance policy.

We believe the people who create long-term value for clients should share in the success they help build.

Our equity ownership model is designed to align our people with our clients and the long-term success of the business.

For the right people, it’s an opportunity to:

• Build from the beginning and have a genuine role in shaping our New Zealand business
• Stay close to clients with fewer unnecessary layers and hand-offs
• Operate with local authority while accessing specialist and international capability
• Think like an owner, with an equity ownership model designed to align our people with the long-term success of the business

Build it. Grow it. Own it.
