Job description

The Opportunity

Our client is looking for ambitious people to join their journey in growing from start-up to scale-up with the aim of listing on the AIM in 2028.

They are the first of their kind in a market that has been dormant for the last 50 years. Now a team of 30, the plan is to continue to double revenue yr on yr until IPO in 2028.

This is an opportunity for a self-starter – someone with big ambitions, but also the urgency and resilience to achieve them. Effort and potential are more important to us than experience.

Who are they?

A cyber-only insurance broker, on a mission to rip up the standard broker playbook and deliver tangible value to a market unprepared for a very present and ever-growing risk. Cyber will become the most in‑demand line of corporate insurance, and the current brokerage model cannot deliver the service required to tackle this comprehensively.

Backed by the CEO of a FTSE 250 business, and with a founding team constructed of seasoned industry professionals, they are well set to achieve their lofty ambitions of IPO.

The Role

• Build your own book of insurance business within theirs.
• A hybrid position of business development and account management.
• Sourcing and engaging C‑suite decision makers of medium to large businesses across an array of sectors. For each new sales opportunity you initiate, you’ll work directly with the founders through the process.
• They will help you learn the business, your clientele and a range of strategies to add value to them. As you develop, your portfolio will continue to grow, and naturally your position will move further into a blend of account management and business development.
• The team liken the role to growing their own business within a business, and this comes with all the accountability, demands and rewards you would expect.
• Commissions are uncapped, residual and received on every dollar your portfolio makes. As well as the support from your mentors, you will also have leading technology and resources at your disposal.

What’s on Offer

• Base salary 50k but can be flexible dependent on a number of variables.
• Average OTE of Y1 : £80k, Y2 : £130k, Y3 : £200k
• Transparent commission structure, with uncapped and residual commissions received on a pound‑for‑pound basis.
