Head of Resourcing, Sales at Cavendish Maine

This role isn’t just about policies and paperwork, it’s about building something better for clients.

We’re looking for a rare blend of commercial insurance expertise, a strategic mindset, and an ability to lead- Someone who thrives on solving complex problems, creating bespoke solutions, and communicating them with clarity and confidence.

You’ll work across our biggest clients and most exciting opportunities — shaping propositions, crafting bid documents that stand out, and managing relationships we’ve worked hard to earn.

This is a role for someone who wants to be at the forefront of the business, not just behind the scenes.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading on new business proposals and renewal strategies that don’t just tick compliance boxes — they turn heads and win trust
• Working alongside senior colleagues and producers to help clients feel like they’re in the safest, smartest hands in the market
• Acting as a project manager across key tenders, defensive reviews, and retention campaigns
• Using your cross-class broking knowledge to ask the right questions, spot the gaps others miss, and build insurance programmes that genuinely protect what matters
• Engaging with clients like a true partner, not just a supplier

What You’ll Bring:

• A background in commercial insurance broking, with experience across property, casualty, and more
• A sharp mind for detail and a calm, strategic approach to project work
• A genuine curiosity — about clients, industries, and what makes a solution better than just "good enough"
• Strong communication skills — you can hold your own in boardrooms, Teams calls, and renewal meetings
• Ideally, some project management experience, although a strong track record in complex renewals will also suffice.
• CII qualifications are great — but what matters most is capability, attitude, and drive

What You’ll Get:

• The flexibility to work how, where, and when you work best
• A culture that’s collaborative, open, and built on doing things properly — not just profitably
• A place where ideas are welcome, mistakes are learned from, and you’ll never be a cog in a machine
• A bonus structure that rewards real impact
• Top-tier pension and benefits
• Ongoing support for your professional growth — including full funding for CII qualifications if you want them

Salary: Up to £60,000 DOE + Bonus + Excellent Pension & Benefits
