Own the relationship. Shape the strategy. Drive the future.

This isn’t just another account management role. This is your opportunity to own a flagship trading relationship with a global broker, influence high-level strategy, and lead the charge on delivering commercial success across the UK.

You’ll be the face of the business at senior levels trusted, visible, and influential.
What you’ll be doing:

• Take full accountability for a multi-million pound, multi-office broker partnership
• Build high-impact relationships at board, regional and branch level
• Orchestrate collaboration across underwriting, distribution, and product teams to align delivery with broker needs
• Influence strategy from the top down and activate it across the UK from the bottom up
• Identify growth opportunities, track performance, lead reviews, and champion innovation within the partnership

What you’ll bring:

• A track record of success managing complex broker networks or national accounts in commercial insurance
• Exceptional relationship-building skills you’re credible with senior stakeholders and connected on the ground
• Strategic thinking matched with commercial drive you see the bigger picture and know how to make it happen
• Comfort with scale, complexity, and fast-paced environments

Why this role?
You’ll be stepping into a role that truly matters. It’s high visibility, high impact, and high potential. With major investment, ambitious growth plans, and a forward-thinking executive team behind you, this is your chance to make a lasting mark on the future of a key industry partnership.
You’ll have the autonomy to lead, the backing to grow, and the opportunity to work with brilliant people who care about long-term success, not just quick wins.
