Job description

If you are a Commercial Account Executive in Northampton who knows how to build a book properly, not just inherit one, this deserves your attention.

This is an opportunity to join a well regarded independent insurance broker in Northampton with genuine appetite for growth. The role is for a Commercial Account Executive who wants autonomy, sensible leadership and the chance to shape their own future in the insurance market.

You will not be constrained by rigid corporate layers or endless sign off processes. You will be backed to trade. The leadership team understands commercial insurance and trusts experienced people to make decisions.

The focus is mid market and larger SME commercial insurance risks across Northampton and the surrounding region. This is relationship led insurance work. Face to face advice. Proper risk conversations. Long term clients.

What you will be doing:

• Developing and growing a portfolio of commercial insurance clients in Northampton
• Managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to placement
• Handling renewals strategically to protect and expand income
• Working closely with internal Account Handlers to deliver consistent service
• Negotiating terms with insurers across a range of commercial classes
• Building a reputation in the Northampton business community
• This Commercial Account Executive role is about building something sustainable. Not chasing quick wins. Not burning through leads. Real insurance relationships that stand up over time.

What you will bring:

• Experience as a Commercial Account Executive within the insurance market
• A track record of generating and retaining commercial insurance business
• Strong knowledge of core commercial classes such as property, liability and motor
• Confidence meeting business owners and finance directors
• A long term mindset and a steady approach to growth
• You are likely already successful where you are. Many strong insurance professionals in Northampton are well looked after and understandably cautious about moving. That is respected.
• The difference here is influence. As a Commercial Account Executive in this Northampton office, you will have visibility, input into strategy and the opportunity to genuinely shape your book without internal politics.

What is on offer:

• Salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
• Competitive bonus structure linked to growth and retention
• Car allowance
• Full administrative and broking support
• Clear progression within a growing independent insurance broker

Northampton has a strong commercial community. The right Commercial Account Executive can build something significant here within the insurance market.

If you are a Commercial Account Executive in Northampton who wants more control, more backing and a clearer long term path in insurance, I am happy to speak confidentially.
