This is a superb opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the insurance industry in a leadership capacity.

The Maidstone branch of this global broker has just enjoyed its most successful year ever; in terms of renewal income, new business acquisition and cross-sales. Picking up some of the most coveted corporate accounts across a range of fascinating industry sectors (Manufacturing, Life Science, Food & Beverage, Retail, Manufacturing and Tech etc), there are few brokers in the business that boast such an enviable client list.

On our briefing call with the hiring manager, they were adamant that, “there is simply no better place to have an insurance career than this business.” They went on to tell us that this role gives people exposure to risks that they simply won’t find in other companies, and that it involves very interesting work encompassing a true Risk Advisory approach and Crisis Management projects with high profile clients.

You will be responsible for overseeing a small team of experienced Account Executives, where duties will include, but not be limited to, overseeing workflow, ensuring relevant training is provided, coaching, mentoring and 121s. In addition, you will take responsibility for a portfolio of 4/ 5 large corporate clients, which can be allocated in line with your experience, strengths and ambitions.

Whilst previous managerial experience would certainly be welcome, we will very much consider experienced Account Executives (who have perhaps had some non-official mentoring / coaching experience), who are ready to step up into an official leadership role. Most importantly, you’ll be fair, approachable and inspiring, with a genuine passion for developing others.

It is essential that you have experience of working as an Account Executive. Whilst this need not extend to previously managing clients generating £50K+ fees, it is essential that you have dealt with some larger commercial risks and that you can demonstrate the enthusiasm and ability to deal with more complex, major corporate risks. You must be a polished communicator who is able to secure ‘buy-in’ from corporate clients across a variety of industry sectors.

Our client offers a flexible-working arrangement, allowing you to work from home twice a week .As such, this role will suit candidates from across London and the South East.

There are so many career-development opportunities with this company; the Branch Director giving us examples of people progressing into more senior / specialist positions, and in numerous cases, securing internal exciting promotions across the globe.

You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary of up to circa £75K (Negotiable, depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme, which can very realistically see you earning close to an additional £20K on top of your basic salary. In addition, you’ll have access to one of the most impressive benefits packages in the market, which includes very substantial pension contributions.
