Job description

If you've built strong commercial insurance experience and want the opportunity to develop your own portfolio, build lasting client relationships and establish yourself within the Northampton business community, this is an excellent next move.

You'll join a major, highly recognised insurance broking brand, giving you the credibility, insurer relationships, market access and specialist support to compete for and win quality commercial business.

But this isn't simply about bringing in new clients.

The clients you win become your clients to retain, develop and grow.

You'll build a commercial book with genuine long-term value, becoming a trusted insurance contact to businesses as their requirements evolve.

You'll work with SMEs and owner-managed businesses across Northampton and the surrounding area, including property owners, retailers, hospitality businesses, trades, contractors and professional firms.

Business will be developed through a combination of:

• New business opportunities and prospecting
• Referrals and recommendations
• Professional introducer relationships
• Client meetings
• Local networking and business connections
• Developing opportunities within your growing portfolio

There's also plenty of scope to bring your own ideas.

Whether that's building relationships with accountants, solicitors and other introducers, identifying worthwhile local events, creating networking opportunities or finding new ways to increase the brand's presence locally, you'll have the backing of a major business behind you.

The role is predominantly office based, combined with purposeful client meetings and networking. You won't be expected to spend your entire week on the road.

Who could this suit?

You may already be a Commercial Account Executive or Development Executive, or you could be an experienced Commercial Broker, Account Manager or Senior Account Handler ready to take the next step into greater client ownership and business development.

We're looking for someone with:

• Strong commercial insurance knowledge
• Confidence dealing with business owners and decision-makers
• An appetite for winning and developing business
• The ability to retain and grow client relationships
• Commercial curiosity and the confidence to spot opportunities
• A relationship-led approach to broking

Rewards & Benefits

Alongside a competitive salary and reward package, you'll benefit from:

• Generous holiday allowance, increasing with service
• Excellent training and career development
• Support towards professional insurance qualifications
• Healthcare and wellbeing benefits
• Enhanced family-friendly policies
• Employee assistance and wellbeing support
• Retail, lifestyle and gym discounts
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Insurance and financial product discounts
• Long-term career opportunities within a major insurance group

Why consider it?

You'll have the strength, credibility and resources of a major insurance brand, while still having the opportunity to build something that feels like your own.

Develop your local profile. Win quality clients. Retain the relationships you create. Build your own commercial portfolio.

If you're an experienced commercial insurance professional looking for greater ownership and an opportunity to become a recognised insurance contact within the Northampton market, we'd love to hear from you.
