Job description

Development Account Executive

Manchester

Our client is a growing Independent Commercial Broker. They have trusted us with a genuine opportunity as they are actively investing in the next generation of Account Executives.

Whether you're an ambitious Account Handler with strong client-facing skills, a developing Executive whose progression has stalled, or simply someone who believes their current brokerage no longer offers the future it once did, this role offers a clear route into a fully‑fledged Account Executive position.

The leadership team has a track record of developing talent and is prepared to invest significant time, training and support into the right individual. In return, they're looking for someone with genuine ambition and a desire to build a client portfolio.

What's On Offer?

• A structured pathway into a full Account Executive role
• Mentoring from experienced insurance professionals
• Exposure to a broad range of commercial clients and risks
• Genuine business development training and support
• Great earning potential with significant commission opportunities
• The chance to build your own portfolio rather than inherit one - stickier business
• Career progression based on performance, not time served

Who Are We Looking For?

This is not a role for someone simply looking for their next comfortable position.

We're looking for individuals who can demonstrate:

• Commercial insurance experience across a range of classes
• A strong interest in business development
• Commercial awareness and relationship-building ability
• Ambition to become a successful Account Executive
• A desire to be rewarded for results

You'll be expected to discuss your achievements in detail, including retention rates, income generated, new business won, cross‑selling and overall commercial contribution. Those figures matter because this opportunity is aimed at future high performers.

The insurance market talks constantly about talent shortages, succession planning and developing future leaders.

This broker is actually doing something about it.

For the right person, this represents an opportunity to accelerate your career, earn substantial commission and establish yourself as a future Account Executive within a growing and entrepreneurial business.
