About the role

We’re hiring a Home Assessing & Technical Development Manager to join our dynamic team at Youi. This position entails supervising the operational activities of assessing teams throughout QLD and NSW, including the desktop assessing team. Moreover, it involves taking charge of the Technical Development aspect of assessing, with some participation in claims.

We seek a candidate with the ability to assess properties, comprehend technical terminology, and develop training scopes for their team.
