We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance broking organisation that is seeking an accomplished Sales Director to play a key role in the continued growth of its highly successful Belfast office.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced insurance sales professional to join one of the biggest names in the global insurance market, where you'll benefit from an unrivalled level of support in generating new business opportunities, as well as having a genuine influence on the future growth strategy of the branch.

One of the biggest attractions of this position is that this certainly isn't a role where you'll be expected to spend your days making endless 'cold' enquiries in the hope of generating an occasional new business opportunity. Far from it!

This broker has an enviable infrastructure in place to support its business development activities, including established relationships with a wide range of professional introducers, strategic affiliations with major high street banks, a dedicated telesales function and an extensive database of prospective clients. Add to this the considerable strength of its brand, which opens doors at the highest levels of the corporate world, and you'll have an exceptional platform from which to succeed.

As Sales Director, you'll play an integral role in shaping and developing the new business strategy for the Belfast office. Working closely with the senior leadership team, you'll help identify opportunities for growth, develop relationships with key introducers and prospective clients, and contribute to the wider commercial direction of the branch.

Another major attraction is the calibre and diversity of the clients you'll have the opportunity to work with. This broker enjoys relationships with some fascinating businesses, spanning sectors such as technology, manufacturing, construction, waste management, wholesaling, charities and property owners, amongst many others.

You'll have the opportunity to become involved with large, complex and prestigious corporate risks, many of which are simply not encountered within the majority of commercial insurance broking environments in the local market. Furthermore, you'll have access to an extensive network of specialist colleagues, both nationally and internationally, allowing you to draw upon considerable technical expertise and resources when developing solutions for prospective clients.

You’ll be joining an organisation that takes a genuinely long-term approach to its people.

That’s the message from the Head of the Belfast office, and it perhaps sums up the company's philosophy better than anything else.

This is a business that invests heavily in developing its employees, providing exceptional internal and external training, ongoing professional development and a wealth of opportunities for career progression. The company is keen to recruit people who want to build a long-term career, and its considerable size and international presence mean there are numerous avenues for ambitious individuals to develop their careers as the organisation continues to grow.

You’ll also be joining a stable, friendly and highly collaborative office, where there's a genuine team-player ethos. Despite the size and global standing of the organisation, the Belfast team prides itself on its supportive atmosphere, with colleagues working closely together and sharing in each other's successes.

We’re keen to hear from accomplished business developers within the commercial insurance broking market who can demonstrate a successful track record of winning and developing profitable client relationships. You'll have excellent knowledge of the commercial insurance market, strong relationships within the wider business community and the confidence to engage with senior decision-makers within corporate organisations.

Importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys developing new business and has the commercial acumen to identify opportunities, build relationships and negotiate successful outcomes. However, you'll also recognise the importance of teamwork and collaboration, and relish the opportunity to contribute to the wider growth strategy of an already successful business.

You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary, negotiable depending on experience, together with an excellent package of corporate benefits.
