You bring the broking experience. We’ll give you the platform to perform.

Some brokers enjoy servicing existing accounts. Others love the chase.

The first conversation. The problem to solve. The insurer negotiation. The moment the client says yes.

Shielded Insurance Brokers is expanding its commercial broking teams across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and we are looking for experienced brokers who are hungry to win new business, build strong client relationships and grow a portfolio they can genuinely call their own.

This is not a broker-assistant position, a trainee role or an entry point for someone hoping to move into insurance.

You will join an established, fast-growing brokerage with strong insurer relationships, consistent lead flow, dedicated support and an uncapped commission structure that rewards performance.

Built for brokers who want to win

Your focus is simple:

Speak with business owners. Understand the risk. Find the solution. Win the client.

You will not spend your day cold calling, managing claims or drowning in avoidable administration.

Our dedicated claims and client-service teams support your clients after placement, allowing you to focus on:

Winning new business

Providing quality advice

Negotiating strong outcomes

Building and nurturing your own portfolio

Retaining and cross-selling clients

You will remain responsible for compliant advice, accurate documentation and professional broking standards.

What makes this opportunity different

Hot commercial opportunities

Shielded invests heavily in lead generation and referral relationships, giving our brokers access to genuine clients actively seeking insurance advice.

You will not be expected to build a portfolio from zero through endless cold calling.

Serious earning potential

You will receive:

$100,000 base salary

Superannuation

Uncapped weekly commission

There is no arbitrary annual bonus cycle and no ceiling on what a strong broker can earn.

Perform well, and you are rewarded every week.

Strong broking support

You will have access to established systems, experienced broking leadership, insurer relationships and specialist underwriting markets.

This allows you to place straightforward risks efficiently and approach complex or hard-to-place risks with confidence.

About the role

This is a full-time, in-office position based in our Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne office.

This role is not remote or hybrid.

You will be responsible for:

Understanding commercial clients’ businesses, risks and insurance needs

Providing clear, compliant and commercially relevant advice

Comparing markets and recommending appropriate cover

Negotiating with insurers and underwriting agencies

Converting qualified opportunities into long-term clients

Building and nurturing your own portfolio

Identifying cross-sell and portfolio-development opportunities

Maintaining accurate advice records and compliance standards

You may advise across:

SME business packages

Construction and trades

Commercial motor and transport

Trucks and heavy vehicles

Plant and equipment

Public and products liability

Property and landlord risks

Marine and specialist commercial risks

What we’re looking for

You will need:

Experience as a commercial insurance broker, Account Executive or Account Manager

A Tier 1 insurance broking qualification

Strong commercial insurance knowledge

Experience advising clients and negotiating with insurers

Confidence asking for and closing the business

A track record in new business, portfolio growth, retention or cross-selling

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

A disciplined and compliant approach to advice

Commercial drive, resilience and accountability

Experience across transport, construction, plant, trades or SME commercial insurance will be highly regarded.

This role will not suit someone who only wants to process renewals.

It is designed for brokers who enjoy competition, back their ability and want to build a substantial long-term portfolio.

Insurance is serious. Shielded isn’t boring.

Shielded has been recognised among Australia’s fastest-growing businesses and has received multiple national brokerage awards.

We take advice, compliance and client outcomes seriously, without creating a stiff, beige corporate workplace.

We are ambitious, energetic and performance-driven. We work hard, celebrate wins and recognise people who produce results.

What we offer

$100,000 base salary plus superannuation

Uncapped weekly commission

Consistent commercial lead flow

Dedicated claims and client-service support

Strong insurer and underwriting-agency relationships

The opportunity to build and retain your own portfolio

Clear pathways into senior broking and leadership roles

Strong systems and placement support

A high-energy, performance-focused culture

We are not looking for assistants or trainees.

Apply confidentially with your résumé and a brief overview of your commercial broking experience, including the industries, products and client types you know best.

As part of our application process, shortlisted candidates will complete a couple TestGorilla Assessments. This helps us fairly and consistently assess skills, problem-solving ability, and role fit, beyond what a résumé alone can show.
