I started in the role of Customer Care Specialist in 2014 but was promoted to Team Leader in 2016 and held this position until I left the company this year. My position at LifeDirect was a hybrid of an Account Manager, Relationship Manager, Team Leader and Insurance Broker. In this role I was the first point of contact for my team of eight, our clients and the insurers we worked with. I reported to two senior positions above me - the Head of Insurance (Executive Board Level) and the Office Manager. We worked with the top seven insurers in New Zealand and I regularly liaised with their Business Development Managers and Key Account Managers to ensure we maintained healthy relationships with each of them and that we were meeting each other’s business needs.
