In this role, you will be leading a team, providing support to direct reports, monitoring and analysing activity / workflow, identifying areas for improvement and training and organising this, and working with the Directors with respect to client management and growth strategies. Aside from these management responsibilities, you will be dealing with some of the larger cases, providing technical support where required and generally leading by example.

Applicants will have at least 5 years commercial insurance experience, ideally gained within a broking environment, with previous management or team leadership duties (or deputy manager and looking to move up a level), a good all round knowledge of most classes of commercial insurance; progress towards CII qualification and previous use of Acturis is also desirable.
