As a senior member of the distribution team, you will play a vital role in evolving our sales strategy and defining the technology, training and investment required to build a world class sales culture.

• Be the main point of contact for brokers to manage general trading opportunities and challenges effectively within the region
• Design a regional distribution plan aligned to the broader UK distribution strategy and evidence delivery through agreed KPIs
• Identify key broker opportunities to drive growth in the region and coordinate CFC’s development activity to best navigate each trading relationship
• Build a deep understanding of broker strategies in the region and translate that insight into clear and effective product class strategies for each broker
• Produce opportunities to secure new business through sales activity that leverages existing national agreements, MI and technology
• Work closely with underwriting teams to understand product appetite, capability and communicate our proposition effectively to market

You will have proven experience that demonstrates your ability to quickly establish new relationships and evolve existing ones, illustrating your capacity to lead through influence.

We are looking for someone with strong knowledge of the South regional broker market, who can serve as the dedicated point of contact for brokers in the region.

You will be expected to work at a fast pace with high intensity, while also cultivating relationships with both internal and external stakeholders to support our ambitious growth objectives.
