Why Join Gallagher
Gallagher offers more than a job, it’s a values-driven workplace where people are respected, supported, and empowered to grow.
We seek curious, entrepreneurial individuals ready to make an impact. Our teams bring energy and expertise to help clients navigate complexity with confidence.
What sets us apart is how we treat each other. Our people stay because they feel valued, and that makes Gallagher a place worth joining.
Australia
Inclusion and diversity are part of how we operate every day. We honor the histories of Australia’s First Nations Peoples and continue our reconciliation journey through our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.
Our commitment to respect and equality is reinforced by our CEO’s pledge with Diversity Council Australia, promoting a safe, inclusive workplace for all.
We celebrate key moments like Mardi Gras, Wear It Purple Day, RU OK Day, Mental Health Awareness Month, and International Women’s Day, because belonging starts with showing up for each other.
New Zealand
Gallagher is one of the world’s top three insurance brokerage and risk management firms. In New Zealand, we’ve built a strong legacy, first as Crombie Lockwood, now as Gallagher Insurance, serving over 160,000 clients across business, rural, personal, and life and health insurance.
With around 1,000 professionals in 30+ offices nationwide, we combine deep local knowledge with global strength. Since joining Gallagher in 2014 and adopting the global brand in 2023, we’ve expanded our capabilities while maintaining our Kiwi leadership and values.
Founded in 1978 and still led by original founders Steve Lockwood and Carl O’Shea, we help New Zealanders face the future with confidence.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Giving back is part of our business. We support communities through meaningful partnerships, including our long-standing relationship with The Smith Family, contributing to work inspiration programs, volunteering, fundraising, and gift collections.
Volunteering is central to our CSR. Through the Your Cause initiative, every employee receives one paid day to support a cause they care about, fostering connection, contribution, and community impact.
