• Plan, forecast and set the operational targets (including the budget and the financial model) to achieve the strategic development plan
• Prospect potential new opportunities and markets. Identify new deals, assess feasibility and project manage the implementation of new deals
• Proactively develop a robust pipeline of appropriate new business opportunities and ensure that long-term pipeline is realised by ensuring broker/client engagement
• Use effective coaching skills to improve the sales capability of the branch and support others to improve the profitability of their relationships with brokers.
