Job description

A leading national insurance broker is seeking a Development Executive to join its expanding South west team, covering the Exeter, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset regions. This is a high-impact opportunity for an ambitious individual to build a profitable book of business with the backing of a well-resourced and growth-focused organisation.

The Role

The Development Executive will be responsible for generating and converting new business opportunities across commercial lines. This is a client-facing, relationship-driven role with a strong emphasis on proactive business development. The successful candidate will be expected to build a pipeline through a combination of self-generated activity and company-provided leads, ultimately establishing a sustainable and growing portfolio.

Lead generation is supported through a dedicated tele-sales function, internal referrals, marketing campaigns and data-led targeting tools. However, a self-starting mindset and the ability to originate opportunities independently are essential.

If you are currently an Account Handler looking to take the next step into a client-facing, business development role, this could be for you.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a national broker that combines entrepreneurial freedom with strong institutional support, ideal for individuals looking to accelerate their career in a high-performance environment.
