Job description

At Everywhen (formerly Ardonagh Advisory), we exist to reimagine the way commercial insurance is delivered. Our focus? Enabling entrepreneurial brokers to thrive, backed by the scale and strength of one of the UK’s largest independent insurance groups.

We’re now looking for an experienced New Business Placement Broker to join our Manchester team, with a focus on placing and negotiating cross-class commercial risks across the regional and national market.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a key member of our placement team, you’ll be working closely with our network of broking partners and the wider market to secure the best possible terms for new commercial business. This is a fast‑paced, deal‑driven role requiring strong technical ability, confident negotiation skills, and a solutions‑focused mindset.

What you will be doing:

• Negotiate placement of new business across a variety of commercial lines (property, casualty, combined, and more).
• Build and manage relationships with both insurers and internal stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted advisor to brokers and account executives, providing market insight and placement strategies.
• Leverage your knowledge of the regional market to identify placement opportunities and create tailored solutions for clients.
• Stay current with market conditions, appetite changes, and insurer capabilities.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll bring a strong foundation in commercial broking, with experience placing mid to large cross‑class risks into the open market. This role is ideal for someone currently in a similar placement role or a senior account handler/broker ready to take the next step.

You will have:

• Solid experience placing commercial risks across multiple lines.
• Strong insurer relationships and up-to-date market knowledge.
• Confidence in negotiating complex deals and navigating insurer appetites.
• A collaborative approach – able to work closely with internal teams and external markets.
• CII qualifications (or working towards them) would be a plus.
