Job description

A rapidly growing, independent insurance broker is launching a brand-new Construction specialty division - and we're looking for experienced Construction Account Directors / Account Executives to play a key role in building it from the ground up.

This is an opportunity to join a business where you can shape the proposition, develop client relationships and play a visible role in building a high-performing Construction practice.

The initial focus is the UK market - London and regional - with a clear ambition to develop internationally.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of Construction clients, acting as a trusted adviser while identifying opportunities to grow and develop those relationships.

• Managing and developing a portfolio of Construction clients
• Building senior relationships across contractors, developers and supply chains
• Advising on complex Construction insurance programmes and risk requirements
• Leading renewals, client reviews and strategic programme development
• Identifying opportunities for account growth and cross-selling
• Working with insurers and the wider market to deliver appropriate solutions
• Supporting contractual reviews and post-allocation risk mitigation
• Contributing to the development of the new Construction proposition

Who are we looking for?

• We’re looking for established Construction insurance professionals with strong technical and relationship-management skills.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Significant Construction broking experience
• Strong knowledge of contractors, developers and supply chains
• Experience managing sophisticated Construction programmes
• Strong client and insurer relationships
• A proven track record of retaining and developing business
• Understanding of contracting businesses from approximately £20m to £500m+ turnover
• Experience using Salesforce or a similar CRM

Why this opportunity?

Construction is one of the key specialty verticals within the business's five-year growth strategy.

You’ll have the opportunity to do more than manage a book - you’ll help shape the proposition, influence the way the division operates and build something significant.

There is also a strong focus on developing a more sophisticated developer-led Construction offering, alongside traditional contractor and supply-chain opportunities.

For experienced Construction professionals looking for greater autonomy, visibility and influence, this is a genuine opportunity to make an impact.

Multiple hires are planned across the UK. All conversations will be treated confidentially.
