Job Description

Location: Poole (Onsite) Salary: £28,000 £45,000 (Guaranteed Base) + 10% Combined Pension

Are you a Commercial Insurance professional looking for a high-value role without the pressure of "cold-call" sales targets?

Cowell Recruitment is proud to represent a highly stable, independent brokerage in Poole. Unlike many firms that offer low bases and volatile commissions, our client believes in rewarding expertise with a strong, guaranteed salary and a focus on quality over quantity.

This role is perfect for a technical expert who takes pride in building long-term client legacies rather than just "closing deals."

Why This Role is Different:

  • Guaranteed Earnings: A highly competitive base salary up to £45k, providing financial security regardless of market fluctuations.

  • Relationship-First: Focus on managing and growing an existing book of business through expert advice and technical precision.

  • Full Autonomy: Manage your own diary and client meetings within a supportive, onsite team environment.

  • Professional Investment: Fully funded CII Qualifications (Cert/Dip/ACII) and a clear roadmap for internal promotion.

Your Role & Impact:

  • Strategic Management: Owning a diverse portfolio of commercial clients, acting as their primary technical advisor.

  • Consultative Growth: Identifying cross-selling and up-selling opportunities within your book to ensure clients are fully protected.

  • Underwriter Negotiation: Leveraging your relationships with insurers to secure the best terms and premiums for your clients.

  • Retention Excellence: Driving high renewal rates through face-to-face reviews and a "client-first" mindset.

Who Are We Looking For?

  • The Specialist: Proven experience in B2B or Commercial Insurance. (We also welcome Personal Lines professionals with 2+ years of experience looking to move into Commercial).

  • The Professional: Someone who values accuracy, compliance (FCA), and high-level client service.

  • The Local Expert: You are based in or near Poole and enjoy the collaboration of an onsite office culture.

  • The Academic: GCSE Grade C/4 in Maths & English is required; CII qualifications are a major plus.

The "Total Reward" Package:

  • Security: 4x Life Assurance & 5-year Income Protection coverage.

  • Wealth: 10% Combined Pension (Rising to 5% Employer / 5% Employee in April 2025).

  • Health: Healthcare Cash Plan, Private Medical/Dental discounts, and 24/7 EAP support.

  • Lifestyle: Cycle to Work, Car Leasing (Salary Sacrifice), Tech schemes, and Retail discounts.

  • Leave: 22 days + Bank Holidays (increasing with service) and enhanced Parental Leave.
