Job Description:

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly reputable Independent Broker with a strong track record in the marine sector.

The successful candidate will have expertise in marine insurance, with a focus on hull, cargo, trade, or P&I coverage.

As a Marine Account Executive, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of marine accounts, cultivating strong client relationships, and providing tailored insurance solutions to meet their needs.

Company Overview:

• They’re privately owned - with no private equity or venture capital investors - which means no short-term targets dictated by outsiders.
• Decisions are made for the long term, with a genuine focus on client outcomes, staff wellbeing, and sustainable growth.
• This is a values-led business with a strong market reputation, trusted by a loyal portfolio of marine clients and growing through word-of-mouth and relationships, not aggressive sales tactics.
• The management team is fresh and driven, with a 5 and 10 year plan, and no need or desire to sell and realise the asset for retirement.

The Role:

• This is a retail-facing, non-Lloyd’s role for a Marine Account Executive, handling and developing a portfolio of UK-based and European marine clients.
• Managing existing marine accounts (including marine trade, yacht, cargo, and hull risks).
• Developing new client relationships, often through referrals and soft networking.
• Advising marinas, sailing clubs, boat builders, vessel sellers and boatyards.
• Attending client meetings across the UK coastlines.
• Providing technically sound, advice-led insurance solutions.
• Building toward a future leadership role, with succession planning in mind.
• You’ll be supported by an active digital marketing strategy, strong insurer relationships, and the freedom to broke and work however you think is best.

Who Should Apply?

This role would suit you if:

• You’re already a Marine Account Executive with experience in marine trade, yacht, hull or cargo or P&I
• Or, you’re a Commercial Account Executive with some marine exposure, looking to specialise.
• You enjoy building long-term client relationships rather than quick wins.
• You’re motivated by doing the right thing for clients and earning referrals as a result.
• You can operate independently and enjoy visiting clients face to face.

Why Consider This Role?

• Privately owned, independent broker - no external investors driving short-termism.
• Chartered Insurance Broker - a recognised mark of professionalism and quality.
• Strong leadership, with a clear succession plan and opportunities to step up.
• Flexible, hybrid working - you’ll manage your own time.
• Fuel and car allowance options
