The Opportunity

We’re looking for a commercially minded Senior Analyst to support high‑impact strategy and portfolio initiatives across QBE’s Australia Pacific division. This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys turning ambiguity into clarity - building robust analysis, shaping practical options, and delivering crisp, executive‑ready outputs in a fast‑paced, high‑exposure environment that helps leaders make confident decisions.

About QBE

  • At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.
  • We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.
  • What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.

Your new role

Reporting to the Head of Strategy Initiatives, you’ll work closely with the Manager, Strategy Initiatives to support the delivery of high‑priority work that underpins divisional and portfolio strategy. Drawing on your strengths in strategic analysis and stakeholder engagement, you’ll contribute to insight‑driven decision‑making and the effective delivery of strategic initiatives.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Contributing to the development and execution of divisional and portfolio strategy by applying structured frameworks to analyse challenges, identify opportunities, and develop clear, evidence‑based recommendations
  • Generating strategic insights through internal analysis, external research, and competitive intelligence to inform strategic initiatives
  • Supporting the development of compelling strategic narratives through high‑quality, executive‑ready presentations and materials
  • Building and interpreting financial models and commercial assessments to inform business cases and assess value creation opportunities
  • Collaborating with stakeholders across the business to provide clear visibility of progress against AUSPAC strategic priorities through concise, well-structured synthesis

You deliver high‑quality outputs while navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities, and work constructively with stakeholders across the organisation.

You’ll have:

  • Ability to simplify complexity, challenge assumptions, and apply structured, curious problem‑solving
  • Strong financial literacy and commercial acumen, including understanding of key value drivers and the ability to link financial analysis and modelling to strategic outcomes
  • Strong PowerPoint skills and ability to communicate insights and strategic narratives clearly
  • Collaborative and pragmatic approach, with ability to work effectively with stakeholders at all levels to drive outcomes
  • Experience in strategic analysis (consulting or an in‑house strategy function preferred), with exposure to senior stakeholders
  • Exposure to Insurance and/or financial services, with the ability to apply industry concepts to strategic analysis and decision‑making is advantageous
