Job description

Account Executive – Commercial Insurance | Newcastle

A rare opportunity to build and grow a commercial insurance portfolio within an established Newcastle office, backed by one of the UK’s most respected specialist brokers.

This is not a typical Account Executive role. This is your chance to build, shape and lead. Our client has created a strong platform in Newcastle, with an established private client base and access to high-quality relationships across the region. Many of these clients hold wider commercial interests, creating a natural opportunity to develop a high-quality commercial offering. This role sits at the centre of that ambition.

You will inherit a portfolio built on long-standing relationships and trust, alongside a clear mandate to grow and develop it into a meaningful commercial book, leveraging both existing clients and new opportunities. Working with privately owned businesses, complex risks and well-connected clients, you will operate as a trusted adviser, delivering considered, strategic advice. This is a role defined by quality, not volume — where long-term relationships drive success.

You will have genuine autonomy, with full backing from the business. Our client is providing the platform, support and market presence required to succeed. For the right individual, there is clear scope to build and shape the commercial proposition and establish yourself as a leading commercial figure in Newcastle and across the Region.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong commercial insurance broking experience (Account Executive or similar)
• A track record of developing and growing client relationships
• Confidence operating with senior stakeholders and complex risks
• A relationship-led, long-term approach to business development

What’s on offer:

• Autonomy with full business backing
• Access to high-quality clients and introducers
• Clear pathway to leadership and team build
• Strong earning potential aligned to growth
• The opportunity to build something that lasts

This is a role for someone who wants more than a portfolio. Someone who wants to build, influence and progress. A rare opportunity within the Newcastle and wider region.
