Head of Resourcing, Sales at Cavendish Maine

Are you ready to step up into a client-facing role, inherit a loyal and well-maintained client book, and work with some of the most respected people in the broking profession?

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercial insurance professional — perhaps an experienced Account Handler ready for that first Account Executive role to take ownership of a significant book of long-standing clients. These businesses span cross-class commercial risks and are located across Devon and along the M5 corridor.

What Makes This Role Stand Out?

• You won’t be starting from scratch - this is not a cold-start sales job. The book is well-cared-for, stable, and growing, not under threat from a departing Exec or competitor.
• It’s a launchpad - ideal for someone ready to move into an Exec role, who wants to build deep client relationships and not just chase leads.
• There’s serious growth potential - you’ll also have access to a wide network of introducer relationships and affinity partnerships, giving you a steady flow of new opportunities to expand the book and make your mark.

What We’re Looking For:

• A confident, commercially minded insurance professional with cross-class commercial knowledge.
• Someone with a full UK driving licence and a willingness to get out and meet clients.
• A passion for client service, backed by a genuine interest in understanding clients’ businesses.
• Drive and aspiration to build something long-term, not just maintain the status quo.
• You’ll be joining a progressive, people-first brokerage with strong momentum in the market.
• They are growing rapidly and have built a reputation for delivering exceptional client service, forward-thinking advice, and cultivating a team culture where people genuinely enjoy what they do.

What’s On Offer?

• Market-leading salary (tailored to your experience).
• Outstanding bonus scheme for growth and retention.
• 30 days holiday.
• Generous employee benefits package.
• True hybrid working model.
• Health and well-being programme that supports your work-life balance.

If the above sounds of interest, please reach out for a confidential conversation.
