Job description

£30,000 basic + bonus | Scope for increased basic for relevant experience | Stockport | Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm | No weekends

Are you commercially minded, confident speaking with people and looking for a genuine long-term career in insurance sales?

Fintelligent is recruiting a Sales Executive for a successful specialist commercial insurance brokerage in Stockport. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with insurance, financial services, customer service or general sales experience to enter a professional, commercially focused industry with clear long-term progression.

This is not a high-volume call-centre role. You will learn how to understand client risks, gather detailed information, work with insurer markets and present appropriate insurance solutions. You will gain exposure to the full new-business process while developing the technical knowledge and commercial skills needed to build a successful career in broking.

You will join a supportive but fast-paced office environment, working alongside experienced insurance professionals and dealing with both clients and insurers from day one. For the right person, this role offers a clear route into new-business sales, renewals, account handling and specialist technical broking.

Package & Benefits

• £30,000 basic salary plus bonus
• Scope for a higher basic salary for candidates with relevant insurance, commercial or proven sales experience
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm

About the Company

Our client is an established specialist commercial insurance brokerage, providing insurance solutions across areas including motor trade, road risk, fleet and wider commercial insurance.

They have strong insurer relationships, an established client base and a supportive team environment. This is an opportunity to join a business where people can learn, develop their technical knowledge and build a long-term career in the insurance sector.

The Opportunity

As a Sales Executive, you will support the new-business process from initial enquiry through to quotation and presentation of terms.

You will learn how to conduct effective fact-finds, understand client requirements, gather underwriting information and communicate professionally with both prospective clients and insurer partners. As your knowledge and confidence develop, there will be opportunities to progress into more technical and commercially focused roles across the business.

This role would suit someone who is mouldable, ambitious and keen to learn. You do not need years of commercial-broking experience, but you should bring energy, attention to detail and the commercial awareness to understand that every client conversation is an opportunity to build trust and win business.

• Speak with prospective clients to understand their insurance requirements
• Gather detailed fact-find and underwriting information
• Assist with preparing quotations and presenting terms to clients

• Insurance administration, broking support or policy servicing
• Personal lines motor insurance
• Commercial insurance support
• Motor trade or road-risk insurance
• Financial-services customer service
• General sales, telesales, B2B sales, retail sales or other target-driven customer-facing roles
• Account management or consultative customer service

Most importantly, you will be:

• Confident communicating with customers by phone and able to build rapport quickly
• Comfortable working to objectives in a busy, fast-paced office environment
• Resilient, proactive and motivated by developing your earning potentialDetail-focused and organised, with the ability to absorb technical information

• Interested in progressing into technical broking, renewals, account handling or new‑business sales over time
