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 work and operate independently.

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.
