Job Description:

A key role with a high market profile, presenting the opportunity to use your broking, technical, and negotiation skills to their fullest, with autonomy and empowerment to influence outcomes and drive successes.

You’ll join the successful broking team at one of insurance’s biggest names as a dealmaker, trading with the market locally, at head office level, and into London and Lloyds, to deliver the right products, service, and solutions for your colleagues and clients.

The role is created by growth and opportunity.

• A competitive salary of up to £60,000, complemented by a robust bonus potential of circa 15-20%.
• A comprehensive benefits package, including a market-leading pension scheme.
• Flexible working arrangements, with 1 or 2 days per week in high-end Midlands-based offices.
• A role where you'll be encouraged and empowered to use your skills and experience to trade with the market and to create the right deals and solutions.
• Joining a firm that loves to develop its people and promote from within.

Key Role Functions:

External Brokering and Insurer Relations

• You’ll excel in deal-making, engaging with a diverse panel of insurers across local branches, head offices, and the London and Lloyds markets.
• Work tactically and strategically to get the right solution on large, complex, and harder-to-place risks.
• Your negotiation and relationship management skills will be instrumental in securing advantageous products, terms, and rates, key to winning and retaining valued clients.

Internal Strategic Collaboration

• Work with sales and account management teams to refine their pipelines.
• Your insight will guide the pursuit of new business prospects, aligning with technical feasibility and insurer market interests. Your proactive approach in addressing challenging renewals will set the stage for successful outcomes.

You

• Perhaps an Account Executive, Account Handler, Broker, or Underwriter seeking greater freedom to trade and do business – your background is less important than technical insurance knowledge and approach to getting the deal done.
• You’ll have market-facing, trading experience at a broker or insurer (or similar).
• You’ll be a strong negotiator, adept at building and maintaining mutually beneficial professional relationships.
