Job description

We have a great opportunity now available to join a growing Insurance Broker, in Croydon. This broker is growth focussed and expanding rapidly, and are now seeking an experienced broking professional to join them to take on an exciting opportunity for a hands-on Office Manager to lead and support their high-performing commercial insurance teams. The role is ideal for a current team leader or experienced commercial account handler looking to step up into a leadership and operations-focused role, driving team performance while remaining client-centric.

They handle SME business here, so it is faced paced, and high-volume business your teams will be dealing with.

They are looking to speak to you if you have commercial insurance sales experience, with some management experience and if you hold the Cert CII that would be great (though not essential) and if you have Acturis experience then even better!

This role would suit you if you are currently a team leader looking to take the next step your career, or perhaps a Senior Account Handler who has managed a team or looking to step into a management role.

You will be responsible for looking after the telephony teams aligned to the Croydon office here The Sales team currently have 6 people (3 Croydon sales, 1 Croydon development manager and 2 based in Scotland too) and the Existing Business team have 7 people (1 Croydon Team Leader, 4 Croydon account handlers, 1 based in the Midlands and 1 based in Scotland).

As such you will probably need to be more hands on with Sales team as their is no Team Leader, and the existing business Team Leader will do a lot of initial admin for their team, but you will have overall responsibility for both.

The role will also include duties such as managing figures, quotes, leads, audits, training, insurer training, some HR assistance and 121s

They offer hybrid working with office days being Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Salary on offer is GBP40-45k (but they can be flexible for the right candidate if you are looking for more)

Benefits include 25 days annual leave and an 8% non-contributory pension
