The opportunity

• Work alongside two New Business Account Executives, supporting them with the placement and administration of new commercial insurance enquiries.

• Gain exposure to specialist church and religious organisation insurance, alongside more traditional commercial risks.
• Take ownership of the administration involved in getting new business placed, ensuring documentation, quotations and policy information are accurate and completed promptly.
• Work closely with the Account Executives and insurers to progress enquiries, resolve queries and help secure new clients.

• You'll enjoy working closely with Account Executives and contributing to the successful placement of new business.
• Previous experience with churches or religious organisations would be useful, although knowledge of general commercial insurance is more important.

• Up to £35,000, flexible depending on your commercial insurance experience
• Hybrid working, with three days in the office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and two days working from home.
