Job description

We're working with a major international insurance broker as they look to grow their Real Estate offering across the region. With a strong national and global presence in the real estate and construction space, they are now looking to appoint a dedicated Account Executive to lead and drive their proposition locally.

This is a key strategic hire - not just to manage clients, but to help shape, build, and grow the firm's real estate footprint in the region. You'll be backed by first-class broking, placement, and risk expertise, while being given the autonomy and responsibility to make your mark.

The Role:

• Lead the development of the broker's regional Real Estate proposition, with support from national and international sector specialists.
• Take ownership of an initial panel of real estate clients while actively developing new business opportunities through your network and market presence.
• Advise and manage clients including developers, property owners, asset managers, investors, and managing agents.
• Work closely with specialist broking, claims, and risk teams to deliver tailored insurance programmes, often involving complex asset portfolios and layered structures.
• Act as the regional subject matter expert for Real Estate, supporting internal colleagues and wider business development.

What's on Offer:

• The chance to build and own a regional proposition within a globally respected organisation.
• A platform to service and win large, complex real estate clients - including UK and international portfolios.
• Outstanding internal support across placement, claims, risk consulting, and sector marketing.
• Autonomy to shape your region's strategy, supported by national frameworks and brand credibility.
• A forward-thinking business with a modern, flexible approach to working and career development.
• Highly competitive salary (six-figure base potential), plus bonus, car allowance, and full corporate benefits.

What They're Looking For:

• An experienced Real Estate-focused Account Executive or Client Director with a strong understanding of the sector's risks, expectations, and client base.
• A strategic thinker who understands how to engage property stakeholders - from developers and fund managers to insurers and legal partners.
• Someone with an appetite to build something, not just manage a book - this is a growth and leadership opportunity.
• Strong market network in the regional real estate and insurance space, with the credibility to win new business.
• ACII (or progress towards it) preferred but not essential for the right individual.

This is a unique chance to take the lead in one of the fastest-growing sectors in commercial insurance with the backing of a major broker, but the feel of a local, entrepreneurial role.
