Job description

Job description

Most sales jobs promise "great progression."

But usually, that just means a shinier job title and the same desk.

This isn't that.

This is a career gateway.

Into a global business that protects companies, grows leaders, and rewards people who actually deliver.

About Us

We're one of the world's largest insurance brokers - operating in 45 countries, serving clients in +, and still growing fast.

That growth creates opportunities. Not just for the business, but for the people in it. Here, staff are also shareholders - which means when the company wins, you do too.

Our Perth office is part of that story.

Newly refurbished, full of ambitious people, and buzzing with energy.

Think pool table, socials, and a proper benefits package.

But more importantly : it's a place where people with no insurance background have gone on to run teams, lead divisions, and become senior brokers.

What Happens Here

In just the last couple of years, people from completely different backgrounds - hospitality, car sales, retail, customer service - have all joined this team.

And what happened?

• Some were running teams within a couple of years.
• Others were headhunted into specialist broking divisions.
• A few even had brand-new areas of the business built around them.

The common thread? They had drive, ambition, and the guts to put themselves out there.

The Job

• Salary : £23,
• Year 1 OTE : £27,+
• Based in Perth
• Lead generation, client outreach, booking meetings, building relationships
• Training and mentoring from day one
• A clear route into broking, management, or specialist divisions once you prove yourself

This isn't a "smash the phones and hope" role. It's about learning how businesses think, understanding risk, and opening doors that senior brokers then walk through.

You'll be immersed in building relationships with a real cross section of the commercial sector - speaking to businesses such as accountants, surveyors, architects, real estate, construction, engineering and hauliers to name just a few.

Day to day you'll be speaking to the owners and directors of these firms, identifying their insurance needs and building appointments for the senior executives to go and convert.

With rapid progression available, you'll soon start to have more detailed conversations around their risk programmes, insurance requirements and business operations.

What You Need

Forget industry knowledge. Forget years of experience.

What we want is :

• Confidence talking to people
• Resilience when you get knocked back (because you will)
• Ambition to do more than just "a job"
• The ability to learn quickly and show up with the right attitude

What You Get

• A career in a global, people-owned business that's still growing fast
• Competitive salary + bonus
• 25 days holiday
• Private medical, gym membership, Cycle to Work, and more
• A newly refurbished office just outside Perth
• Training, mentorship, and qualifications that take you from "new starter" to "specialist"

The Smart Next Step

If you're good with people, tired of dead-end jobs, and want a career that pays you properly to learn, grow, and progress - apply.

Don't overthink it. Just show us you've got the mindset, and we'll do the rest.
