Job description

Business Development Account Managers - Chelmsford (Hybrid Working)

We are currently working with a very reputable MGA who are seeking 2 Business Development Internal Account Managers (Hybrid Working) within their General Insurance sector based out of their Chelmsford office.

You don’t necessarily have to be from a General Insurance background, and this role could suit someone from a regulated insurance role, either within a broker or insurance company, or from a sales environment where FCA products are sold.

They are seeking an enthusiastic and passionate Account Manager to join our collaborative Intermediary Sales team. You will manage your own portfolio of Intermediaries and Brokers, applying Account Management skills to build and maintain strong relationships.

The company has adopted a Hybrid way of working, empowering people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, the team, and their customers. Once you start, there will be an office-based induction period, and after that, you will split your time between working from home and 2 days in the office. This role brings good promotional opportunities, and through their in-house training, coaching, and mentoring, you will be fully supported to help you achieve your full potential.

Basic salary is up to £30,000 (possibly more) plus an annual sales bonus!

What you'll be doing:

• Sales Targets: manage positive business-to-business relationships to deliver the retention and development sales results across the range of products and services as set out in the sales plans.
• Relationship Management: establish and develop strong relationships with your intermediary portfolio.
• Market and Customer Feedback: provide and share ongoing customer and intermediary feedback with team members and the wider business, to help shape ongoing proposition development.
• Proposition Expertise: maintain an in-depth knowledge of the company’s products and services and those of competitors. Maintain an up-to-date knowledge and understanding of trends within the general insurance marketplace.
• Act at all times in a professional and compliant manner ensuring all regulatory, compliance, and treating customers fairly requirements are met.
• Ability to meet sales targets.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of the corporate business environment.
• Strong relationship management skills, with the ability to build a network of contacts, both internally and externally.
• Customer focused with strong questioning and listening skills, coupled with excellent communication and presentation skills, both verbal and written.
• Influencing and negotiation skills.
• Energetic, driven, motivated, focused.
• Credible and diplomatic.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone either currently working within the insurance industry, or someone outside of the industry who has the right skill set, can-do attitude, and desire to progress their careers in a forward direction. There will be a great deal of autonomy, and there is massive potential to develop within the business and into an external broker-facing Business Development Manager role.
