We are assisting our client, a leading global insurance brokerage in Leeds, in the search for an experienced Commercial Account Handler who is strong technically.

This opportunity offers the chance to step into a senior, technical, client-facing role, supporting an established portfolio while working closely with Account Executives and senior stakeholders to deliver high-quality insurance and risk solutions.
You can expect to work across a diverse portfolio of commercial clients, typically around £50k income in size, with exposure to some larger and more complex risks. Your role will see you take ownership of the end-to-end servicing of client programmes, including renewals, mid-term adjustments and broking risks to market to achieve the best outcomes.

A key part of your role will be to act as a technical specialist, producing high-quality market submissions, delivering client presentations, and supporting the design and placement of tailored insurance programmes. You will be expected to build strong relationships with both clients and insurers, continuously reviewing and enhancing programmes to ensure they remain competitive and fit for purpose.

The client base spans a broad range of sectors including Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics, Financial Lines and general commercial risks, offering variety and the chance to further develop your expertise.

What’s on Offer

• Opportunity to work on complex and high-value risks
• Exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic client work
• Strong internal support from experienced Executives and Directors
• A collaborative environment with clear progression and development opportunities
