Job description

Most broking opportunities involve taking over an established book and maintaining the status quo. This isn't one of them.

An established insurance brokerage, part of a highly successful and profitable wider group, is looking for a commercially-minded Broker to help rebuild, grow and shape the future of the business. With significant investment, a strong infrastructure already in place and an experienced leadership team behind it, this is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of something with huge untapped potential.

The leadership team firmly believes this business has the foundations to become a £3m-£5m brokerage. The office, systems, website, marketing support and prospect database are all in place. What is needed now is the right person to drive growth and capitalise on the opportunities sitting in front of them.

You'll be working closely with the Commercial Director, developing relationships with existing clients, meeting prospects, handling renewals and generating new business. There are already several significant opportunities in the pipeline, including multiple six-figure premium prospects that could materially change the shape of the business.

This role will suit an ambitious broker who enjoys being out in front of clients, networking, winning business and building something for themselves. The real attraction is the longer-term opportunity. The business is open to discussing profit share and rewarding the individual who delivers the brokerage to sustained profitability and growth.

You do not need to arrive with a large book of business, although that would naturally be of interest. What is more important is commercial drive, strong relationship-building skills and the desire to play a key role in growing a brokerage that has genuine backing, investment and ambition.

For brokers frustrated by corporate structures, limited progression or a lack of influence, opportunities to effectively help build and shape a business like this do not come around often. This is as close as you'll get to running your own brokerage without having to fund it yourself.
