Corporate Account Handler – Global-Inward Risks - Buckinghamshire

Job Type: Permanent Sector: General Insurance Specialism: Account Handler, Broker Location: London & South Town/City: Buckinghamshire Salary range: Other Salary Description: Attractive salary and market-leading benefits Posted: 02-Jun-25 Start Date: ASAP Recruiter: Aston Charles Job Ref: RJ-3149 Job Views: 60

“We’re talking the cars that you drive, the food that you eat daily – probably the technology we’re all using this very minute,” so says the MD of this global broking house’s specialist division when describing the accounts handled by this team.

As you would expect from the world’s largest insurance broker, it has a vast network of offices across the globe and, accordingly, represents clients based in every conceivable territory on the planet. This includes many of the world’s biggest, best-known and most complex businesses.

When these blue-chip global businesses are represented by this broker’s overseas’ offices and have a presence in the UK, it is this Division that is responsible for delivering a robust local insurance programme. Given the profile of these accounts, it’s fair to say that this role is much more involved than many other similar-sounding positions that just deliver basic administration on mandatory UK Liability and Motor lines for overseas clients. Here, you will be able to leverage all this broking behemoth’s buying power to ensure that UK cover dovetails the global programme, and that risks are mitigated in line with clients’ Head Offices’ appetite for risks. This buying power includes bespoke wordings and markets; indeed, it has its own facility that is the largest one that the Lead Underwriter puts their pen to. Whilst relationships will be chaired by colleagues overseas, it is worth pointing out that circa 80% of accounts prefer to deal with UK based Brokers, rather than colleagues elsewhere. As such, you can enjoy building close relationships with your fascinating client base.

As a result of an impressive growth trajectory, coupled with the promotion of an incumbent member of staff into a ‘Head of’ style position, this high-performing team is seeking to make several hires. We are keen to hear from candidates seeking a position servicing the needs of longstanding clients, as well as those who would be keen on a more sales-oriented position that is responsible for maximising cross and up-selling opportunities with clients who have recently appointed this broker, or perhaps are only establishing their first operation in the UK. It is worth noting that the second position mentioned is NOT A targeted sales position with punitive KP’s.

Recognising that very few brokers conduct reverse-flow business in such a detailed fashion, exposure to global risks (UK domiciled or global-inward) is by no means essential, nor is experience of dealing with corporate risks generating six-figure income. However, you must have a good understanding of some common commercial covers, such as Property, Liability and Motor. As well as brokers, we also welcome applications from candidates from Commercial Underwriting and Claims environments, who are keen to step across.

This role is based in central Milton Keynes within an easy walk of the train station, and with heavily subsidised car parking on site (currently £2.80 per day). The team works on a hybrid basis, and there is flexibility with working patterns to accommodate commitments such as school runs etc. Also, you will only be expected to be in the office a couple of days per week. As such, this role will surely appeal to candidates from across North London, the Northern Home Counties, East Midlands and surrounding areas.

In return, you will receive a generous basic salary, bonus and a very impressive flexible-benefits package (including a market-leading pension arrangement) that can be tweaked to your personal circumstances. For the ambitious, this broker offers a myriad of opportunities for progression in the short, medium and longer-term, and has been known to create vacancies in this team to suit candidates’ specific ambitions – for example, if you discover you’ve an appetite for dealing with finance aspects of this role, or gravitate towards certain risks / industry sectors.
