"Wherever you find yourself landing here, it really is just a springboard to the next opportunity", says the Branch Director of this global broker, before citing examples of colleagues who have joined in a similar capacity and gone on to achieve great things within the company. Indeed, from day one, you will be managing some fascinating clients after that, the sky really is the limit! This firm is performing terrifically, and having enjoyed a period of sustained growth, needs an additional Corporate Account Executive to inherit a substantial portfolio of complex accounts. This role has come around following an internal promotion, so you can be assured that the account will not be 'under attack' from a former colleague. The portfolio can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and ambitions in terms of size, complexity and sectors - but it's worth stressing that this office typically deals with risks in excess of £30,000 fee income and many clients pay over £200,000. Clients could be from a range of sectors such as Pharma, Tech and Construction, and would include some of the best known privately-owned and publicly-listed companies in the South West and Wales. Here, you will join what is recognised as the region's most gifted insurance professionals, and be supported in the management of your account by an enthusiastic, experienced and qualified team of Account Handlers, Brokers and Administrators who are well known for their passion for delivering excellent client service. Inheriting such a longstanding and loyal portfolio of trophy accounts, it is worth stressing that the focus here is very much on the management of existing risks, rather than writing new business. Whilst it is not essential that you have previously dealt with risks paying fees in excess of £30,000 it is a prerequisite that you have experience of dealing with middle market business generating £5,000 and above, as opposed to just SME business. You should also have the confidence, gravitas and communication skills in order to secure 'buy in' from sophisticated insurance buyers. In return, you will receive a generous basic salary and a highly lucrative bonus that handsomely rewards you should you cross or upsell ancillary products and services to your clients. You will also benefit from a fantastic wider benefits package that can be tweaked to your personal circumstances, including a market-leading pension arrangement.

"Wherever you find yourself landing here, it really is just a springboard to the next opportunity", says the Branch Director of this global broker, before citing examples of colleagues who have joined in a similar capacity and gone on to achieve great things within the company. Indeed, on day one, you will be managing some fascinating clients, and encouraged to shadow Account Directors on site visits after that, the sky really is the limit! This firm is performing terrifically, and having enjoyed a period of sustained growth, needs an additional Corporate Account Handler. Here, you will be working with 3 or 4 Account Directors / Executives, assisting them on a portfolio of 8-12 accounts. Clients will vary in fee income from £30K to £200K, coming from a range of industry sectors such a Pharma, Tech and Construction. You'll have exposure to some of the most well-known corporate entities in the South West and Wales, working alongside incredibly gifted insurance professionals who have a great deal of knowledge and experience to impart on enthusiastic insurance brokers who have a thirst for knowledge. Duties will include, but not be limited to, working on complex renewals, assisting with amendments to cover throughout the course of the policy, whilst building strong relationships with your clients and really getting to know the nuances of their business activities. Importantly, as your clients' organisations continue to evolve, you will work in conjunction with your colleagues to ensure that their exposures to risk remain adequately covered. Refreshingly, this is an Account Handling role that genuinely provides great exposure to client-facing duties; this is therefore ideal for someone who would ultimately like to become an Account Executive / Director and beyond. Whilst knowledge of all common commercial covers and some exposure to dealing with reasonable-sized business is important, "finding someone with energy, ambition and a hunger to progress", is crucial to the Branch Director. With such enormous resource within the organisation, our client is looking for someone who is going to fully embrace this and realise their full potential. Upon joining the firm, you'll see that your managers will be fully committed to your professional development from day one, and you will immediately have access to a world-leading training and development programme. A vast array of career opportunities exist within this firm, both in the (UK and globally), and the company is very keen to promote from within wherever possible. Whilst you are of course welcome in the office as much as you like, you'll benefit from a hybrid working arrangement, where you'll only need to be in the office 2 days a week. You will be rewarded with a comprehensive starting salary, together with one of the most attractive benefits packages in the market, including annual bonus and substantial pension contributions.

Perhaps the fastest-growing independent brokerage in the UK, this dynamic firm is a real success story of the Yorkshire business community; winning numerous accolades in the insurance press across the UK, and known, more locally, as a fast-paced and fun place to work. With claims being central to its award-winning client service, this department is core to the business' ongoing success. As such, it is no surprise that the management team have reinvested significant profits into this area of the business; whether this be the adoption of bespoke technology, or holding various initiatives such as Mock Trials with legal partners and, of course, the acquisition of some of the most talented claims professionals in the Yorkshire market. Whilst this broker has a broad portfolio of clients, it is perhaps best-known as one of the UK's pre-eminent 'Wheels' brokers - its clients include some of the UK's biggest names from Haulage, Distribution, Passenger Transport etc. Indeed, it is due to the continued acquisition of quality accounts that the need has arisen for an additional Commercial Motor Claims Handler to join the Team. Here, you will be responsible for handling a caseload of Motor claims arising in a variety of industry sectors, such as Distribution / Delivery Networks, Construction and Retail. Your initial caseload will vary depending on your skills and experience, but it is envisioned you will soon be trained to deal with claims of all sizes and complexity. We welcome applications from Claims Handlers with Motor claims knowledge gained from a variety of environments, including those from broking, insurance company or legal backgrounds. It is essential that you share this broker's passion for delivering excellent client service, and have effective communication skills, coupled with an air of calm professionalism, in order to reassure clients who have suffered some kind of loss. You should also be a natural problem-solver, with a strong sense of curiosity, and the negotiation skills to secure clients the best possible outcome following a claim. In return, you will receive a generous basic salary that is anticipated to be £28,000 - £35,000 (Negotiable, depending on experience) plus a comprehensive range of benefits, including support towards qualifications under the Chartered Insurance Institute. For the ambitious, you will also benefit from a myriad of opportunities for progression as this fast-growing brokerage continues to expand.

"He who chases two chickens, catches neither - we know what we are good at, we don't try to be all things to all men - that's why these clients have been with us for generations", says the MD of this respected broking house when discussing this crucial hire; a Commercial / Corporate Account Executive to inherit a substantial portfolio of longstanding, white collar clients. This portfolio stands at circa £350,000 income, with individual clients typically generating between £10,000 - £25,000 income, which are headed by sophisticated insurance buyers. Many of these clients are based in Grade 1 listed buildings in Central London, with complex exposures - including a significant spend on Professional Indemnity and other financial lines covers. As mentioned in the MD's description, this is an incredibly loyal portfolio that has been with this broking house for many years, due to its knowledge of the specialist sectors in which it operates. Here, you will build a detailed understanding of your clients and the sectors in which they operate. Keeping in regular contact with senior personnel at these organisations (many of which are household names), you will scrutinise their insurance programmes to ensure they remain robust. Where gaps in cover are established, you will suggest innovative ways to mitigate these, securing the most comprehensive cover at competitive premiums. You will be aided in this with the support of a dedicated team of Account Handlers and Brokers who have been working on these accounts for a long time, and who understand the niches in which they operate. It is essential that you have experience of working as an Account Executive, including knowledge of Professional Indemnity insurance. You must be comfortable working in a client-facing capacity, and have the sense of gravitas and authority to command 'buy in' from highly educated, senior personal at some of the best-known organisations within their chosen fields. You should also have excellent communication skills, be well-organised, and have a keen eye for detail. In return, you will receive a generous basic salary that is anticipated to be up to £80,000 but we welcome applications from candidates with the experience to justify flexibility on that figure. You will also receive a car allowance, bonus and comprehensive benefits package. For the ambitious, you will benefit from a myriad of opportunities for progression within this thriving, multi-site brokerage. This role can be based remotely, with occasional UK travel (predominantly to London, as well as a regional office when needs be).

There is no doubt about it - this company is one of the most exciting insurers in the market right now. As a result of strategic growth, our client is seeking a talented Head of Construction Underwriting to join its highly successful team. This is a truly rare opportunity to lead the company's mid-market Construction division: shaping the direction of the account, leading the strategy for distribution and pricing, and launching new specialist products. This insurer operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service. Our client has a formidable Contractors Combined policy that was specifically designed by carefully consulting with its partner brokers. With many USPs, as well as the added-value benefits that the wider group has to offer, this "Turnkey" solution is being extremely well-received in the market. In addition, more products are in the pipeline, as this market-leading insurer continues to grow. This role will support marketing promotion and the launch of new products, as well as supporting Sales in strategic broker opportunities. You will work closely with the wider underwriting leadership team to monitor and manage product profitability, and support on referrals in accordance with delegated underwriting authorities. You'll be responsible for the specification, pricing and launch of new products, reviewing, modifying and tracking appetite changes to facilitate profitable growth of the account, and working with the actuarial function and underwriting colleagues to develop appropriate and proportionate pricing models. You'll also find ways to improve underwriting processes, empowering Underwriters to be able to write more business, and you'll help to build skills, product knowledge and capability across the Construction division. It's essential that you have a successful personal history of underwriting Construction business over a number of years in the UK retail broker market. You'll also have a good understanding of the regulatory obligations for underwriting and distribution of insurance products, as well as strong knowledge of market dynamics within this class. Ideally, you will have previous leadership experience, although we will consider applications from outstanding Senior Underwriters, who are ready to step up into a 'Head of' role. Crucially, you'll be ambitious, driven, innovative, and passionate about developing the Construction account. As this is a national role, we welcome applications from Construction specialists all over the UK, although there will be the requirement to spend some time in this insurer's offices (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham). You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary, plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.

We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a Development Underwriter within its highly successful Financial Lines team. This is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now; growing 20% year on year, and on track to double in size over the next 5 years. This company is well-renowned for providing innovative insurance solutions, and uses its ingenuity to insure risks that others can't. As Development Underwriter, you'll be required to source mid-market new business opportunities within the South East region, underwriting Professional and Management risks within your defined underwriting authority. You'll have a strong desire to be highly visible to brokers, encouraging development meetings and telephone contact. As well as leveraging your own relationships within the broker market, you'll also work closely with the Development Director to secure profitable new relationships. Specific duties will include, but not be limited to, underwriting individual risks, identifying and securing scheme opportunities, attending networking events, and providing input to the Head of Financial Lines reporting on broker activity and new business production. The Divisional Director cites, "we have so many enquiries to keep our Development Underwriters really busy, and this is resulting in them being handsomely rewarded - both financially and with attractive career development opportunities within our business." You'll benefit from working for a company that has a truly entrepreneurial approach to underwriting, and a genuine desire to write business. For example, should you identify an attractive Financial Lines risk that is not usually underwritten by this division, you will have the opportunity to present your case to a panel for approval, as well as collaborating with other specialist teams across the business. This is a company that is passionate about sharing the success, and rewarding its employees for their hard work. "We want to pay our Development Underwriters bigger and bigger bonuses", says the Director, and in line with this, you will benefit from a highly attractive performance-related bonus scheme. It's essential that you have a successful track record of developing new business within the Financial Lines arena. We will consider candidates from a range of backgrounds such as Professional Indemnity, D&O / Management Liabilities, Cyber or Tech (PI). Ideally, you will have experience in a broker-facing role, although we will consider applications from New Business / Trading Underwriters who are ready to step into a broking-facing role. We will also consider applications from driven PI brokers who would like to transition into a DU role. Crucially, you will have a proven ability to win business, whilst maintaining underwriting discipline, and as a company ambassador, you will possess first-class communication and client-management skills. You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), plus a market-leading bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.

It's essential that you have a successful personal history of underwriting Construction business over a number of years in the UK retail broker market. You'll also have a good understanding of the regulatory obligations for underwriting and distribution of insurance products, as well as strong knowledge of market dynamics within this class. Ideally, you will have previous leadership experience, although we will consider applications from outstanding Senior Underwriters, who are ready to step up into a 'Head of' role. Crucially, you'll be ambitious, driven, innovative, and passionate about developing the Construction account. As this is a national role, we welcome applications from Construction specialists all over the UK, although there will be the requirement to spend some time in this insurer's offices (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham). You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary, plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.
