Jobs - Job Details - Claims Manager Careers at Suncorp Take the next step.

Be part of something bigger at Suncorp.

Claims Manager Job No : Sydney - Inner Suburbs & CBD, Sydney - Outer Suburbs, Newcastle, Brisbane - Inner Suburbs & CBD, Brisbane - Outer Suburbs, Various Permanent Full Time Call Centre, Insurance Pay Band 2 What It's Really Like to Be a Claims Manager at SuncorpAs a Claims Manager, people think I just manage claims.

But what I really do is help people on some of the worst days of their lives.When storms hit or fires break out, our phones ring.

I could be speaking to someone whose home is underwater, whose roof has collapsed, or who's just lost everything.

It's not easy, but it's real, human work that matters — because customer obsession is at the heart of everything we do.I joined Suncorp because I wanted to make a difference.

What I found was a role where I'm challenged every day, backed by a team who truly gets it, and supported by leaders who check in, especially after the tough calls.

What I Do as a Claims Manager

No two days are ever quite the same, but here's what you can expect : Listen, really listen : I speak with customers who are often overwhelmed or vulnerable.

I give them the space to be truly heard, because customer obsession starts with understanding.

Be a calm, steady guide : I walk them through what's covered in their policy, what will happen next, and make the complex feel simple.

Balance heart with policy : I make fair, transparent decisions that respect both the customer's situation and our guidelines.

Keep things moving : I manage my own portfolio of claims end-to-end, making timely decisions and keeping things moving, especially during busy times.

Solve problems : Every customer's situation is different.

I think critically and creatively to find the best way forward, especially when things don't go to plan.

Stay on top of the detail : I document everything accurately — it's how we stay accountable and ensure customers feel confident in the process.

Lean on your team : Some calls are challenging, but I'm part of a supportive group who debrief together, check in, and keep things human.

What You'll Bring

This isn't a script-reading call centre job.

It's fast-paced, emotionally complex and deeply human.

You'll do well here if you bring : Compassion : A calm, compassionate voice that brings reassurance, even in tough conversations

Resilience : Emotional resilience with the ability to manage your wellbeing and stay grounded

Confidence : Confidence to make clear, fair decisions and communicate them with clarity

Detail-Focused : Sharp attention to detail paired with the skill to balance multiple priorities

Empathy : Genuine empathy and care for customers navigating challenging times

Growth Mindset : Experience in customer service, claims, insurance, or fast-paced environments is valued, but what matters most is a growth mindset and passion to make a real difference Why You'll Love Working at SuncorpWhen you join Suncorp, you're not just taking on a job — you're embarking on a career with a company that values your growth, well-being, and success.

Hybrid Working : Work where you thrive with our flexible blend of on-site and at home work arrangements.

Why I Stay

This job isn't for everyone.

You need thick skin and a big heart.

You'll have days where the calls are tough, and you feel stretched.

But if you're someone who finds purpose in helping people when it really counts, you'll find this role incredibly fulfilling.

We're hiring now.

If this speaks to you, apply today.

And if you're unsure?

Apply anyway — some of the best Claims Managers here had no idea they'd be good at this until they gave it a go.
