Job Description

Ever wanted a Senior Broking role where you're more than just the person who "gets the documents out"?

Our client, a reputable and fast-growing broker, is looking for a Senior Broker who's ready to step into a role with real influence, real autonomy, and real career progression.

If you're looking for that sweet spot between corporate stability and a team where everyone genuinely knows-and values-what you bring to the table, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

You won't just be servicing accounts-you'll be managing a portfolio of complex corporate commercial clients, working closely with Account Directors and Executives to deliver outstanding insurance programmes. You'll be the first point of contact for cover queries, MTAs, new business quotations, technical support and everything in between but with the seniority and authority to genuinely drive outcomes.

Better yet, you'll be broking directly to market, negotiating with insurers, influencing terms, and shaping insurance solutions that genuinely meet your clients' demands and needs.

This is a role where your expertise is trusted, your judgement matters, and your impact is visible.

What you'll be doing day-to-day:

  • Managing more complex corporate commercial accounts with confidence and autonomy.
  • Negotiating effectively with insurers to secure the best possible terms and outcomes.
  • Broking to market in line with the firm's strategy and broking matrix.
  • Building strong, lasting relationships with both clients and insurers.
  • Advising clients on existing products and identifying opportunities to add value.
  • Handling product queries quickly, accurately, and professionally.
  • Supporting other brokers with technical questions when needed.
  • Assisting with internal technical audits and ensuring documentation is accurate and compliant.
  • Managing MTAs, renewals, new business quotations, and policy issue.
  • Staying on top of market trends, products, and developments.
  • Maintaining your technical insurance knowledge and CPD with enthusiasm.
  • Completing all administration in line with FCA and company procedures.
  • Always treating customers fairly and putting their needs at the centre of what you do.

What we're looking for:

You'll already have strong experience within commercial insurance-ideally handling corporate or complex accounts-and you'll thrive in a role that blends relationship management, negotiation, technical knowledge, and hands-on broking.

You're organised, proactive, commercially aware, and able to manage your time and workload without hand-holding. You're the type of broker who can pick up a complex case, understand it quickly, and drive it forward effectively.

Most importantly, you enjoy being the trusted expert. You take pride in your technical capability, your market knowledge, and your ability to deliver a seamless client experience.

If you're progressing your CII qualifications (or already well underway), even better.

Why this opportunity stands out:

This is a mid-sized, well-respected broker-big enough to offer career development, resources, and structure, but agile enough that your contribution actually gets noticed. You'll enjoy:

  • A competitive salary and strong benefits package
  • Genuine opportunities for progression
  • Exposure to complex commercial risks
  • A supportive leadership team who invest in your growth
  • The chance to shape client outcomes, not just process instructions

If you're ambitious, technically strong, and ready to take the next step in your broking career, this could be the perfect move.
