Ensure colleagues have annual goals, regular performance and career development discussions, and ongoing feedback and recognition. Ensure awareness of learning opportunities, build an inclusive team culture, and support colleagues’ wellbeing.
• You will lead the team, from the front, acting as an escalation point and managing your own panel of Network Members.

• Work closely with selected Network Members across the UK, understanding their placement strategies, and working with appropriate Network markets, to deliver placement solutions.
• Work with our Insurer Partners, at an operational level, providing insight, identifying and converting opportunities, and resolving any issues with our Network Members.
• Deliver the budgeted revenue growth and operating income targets allocated to you and your team.
