Placing technology talent across Australia’s insurance sector.
Insurance in Australia is undergoing significant technology-driven change. Insurers across general, life, health, and reinsurance are investing heavily in data platforms, pricing and underwriting automation, claims technology, and digital distribution. At the same time, APRA’s heightened expectations under CPS 234 and the broader operational resilience agenda mean that technology risk and security capability have never been more important.
SKL Technology partners with insurers, reinsurers, and Lloyd’s market participants to source and place specialist technology talent. We understand the regulatory environment, the data and analytics demands of modern insurance operations, and the pace at which hiring decisions need to be made.
