Job description

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 45, the plan is to continue to double revenue year on year until IPO in 2028.

As part of their continued growth across Europe, they are launching a brand-new office in Amsterdam. This presents a unique opportunity to join the business at a very early stage of its presence in the region and play a key role in shaping the team, culture, and success of the office. For ambitious individuals, the potential for rapid progression and real impact is significant.

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 a serial entrepreneur who exited a FTSE 250 business for $2 billion, and with a founding team constructed of seasoned industry professionals, they are well set to achieve their IPO ambitions.

The Role

• Titled internally as a Portfolio Manager, you will 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
• Transparent commission structure, with uncapped and residual commissions received on a pound-for-pound basis.
• Equity available for those who move the needle.
