Job description

Corporate Account Handler Birmingham | c.£35, + Benefits
Exclusive to IPS Group | Fresh to Market
This is a rare opportunity to join one of the insurance market’s most respected corporate brokers and take the next step from SME or mid-market business into a true corporate environment.
Exclusively managed by IPS Group, this is a fresh vacancy within the Birmingham team and we’re conducting a targeted search before any wider market release.

Ready for Bigger Clients?

This role is ideally suited to an ambitious commercial Account Handler with 2-5 years’ experience who is looking to build a long-term career within the corporate insurance market.

You’ll join an established team supporting a portfolio of significant UK commercial clients, whilst gaining exposure to larger corporate programmes and multinational business. If you’ve built strong commercial insurance foundations and are looking for an opportunity that will broaden your experience and accelerate your development, this could be exactly the move you’ve been waiting for.

Beyond Standard Commercial Broking

Working alongside experienced Account Executives, Account Managers and senior brokers, you’ll support some of the team’s most important clients across a broad range of industries and insurance classes.

The role will involve negotiating directly with insurers, preparing market presentations, obtaining quotations, managing renewals and mid-term adjustments, supporting client servicing activity and assisting with increasingly complex placements as your experience develops.

This is a business looking to invest in potential, not simply hire a finished product.

The Type of Broker We’re Looking For

We’re looking for candidates with approximately 2-5 years’ commercial insurance broking experience who can demonstrate genuine manual broking capability across a broad range of commercial insurance classes.

You should be comfortable dealing directly with insurers and underwriters, negotiating terms, approaching the open market, obtaining quotations and managing client requirements from instruction through to placement and ongoing servicing.

Candidates whose experience has been predominantly e-traded, scheme-based or delegated authority/facility-led will not be considered, as this role requires proven market-facing manual broking experience.

Where This Could Take You

The biggest attraction of this opportunity isn’t the salary. It’s the exposure, support and long-term career development available.

You’ll join a business that has made a significant investment in developing future talent through structured onboarding, formal development programmes, technical training workshops, mentoring from experienced corporate brokers and ongoing support towards professional qualifications.

From day one, you’ll work closely with senior members of the team on larger and more sophisticated accounts, gaining exposure to insurer negotiations, client strategies and complex placements that many brokers don’t encounter until much later in their careers.

The team has a genuine track record of developing individuals and providing a clear route into larger corporate and multinational business. For an ambitious commercial broker looking to break into the corporate market and learn from some of the best people in the industry, opportunities of this nature are few and far between.

If you’re looking for more than just another Account Handler role and want a platform to develop your corporate broking career, we’d be keen to speak with you.
