We’re delighted as part of our ongoing growth to be adding a client focused Corporate Account Executive to our team in Burnley to take the reins on a highly stable Corporate Insurance portfolio and grow it further.

This is a rare opportunity to take over a longstanding and profitable portfolio to manage and grow it.

We've been growing exceptionally well in Burnley (10%+ Year on Year) and as part of our long term growth strategy we're looking for an Account Executive that wants to build a career with us over the mid to long term.

A high proportion of our directors and senior leadership team within the region have progressed upwards from similar positions over the last 5 years and we expect this position to be no different.

You’ll also be assisted by the Account Handlers team to ensure we deliver the high level experience our clients have come to expect from us over the last 10+ years.

On a day to day basis you’ll be:

• Proactively manage and assist existing clients to ensure retention rates are maintained
• Develop a pipeline of prospects to obtain new business.
• Advising clients on renewals, managing relationships with key stakeholders and delivering outstanding service to them.
• Working with clients to expand and develop their coverage to ensure they have the right cover.
• Liaising with the broking and support team to ensure all documentation is accurate and issued within agreed timescales.
• Actively negotiating with Underwriters as required to secure the best terms.
• Working in a compliant and timely manner on all cases.
• Ensuring Retention levels and income targets are achieved.
• Working with the management team to achieve business objectives and support with the development of colleagues

What’s on offer:

• A negotiable basic salary + bonus + car allowance and all the normal benefits (Pension, Death in Service, holidays etc.)
• The opportunity to work within a rapidly growing region with a highly motivated management team, which will allow for some excellent career opportunities
• We’ll also fully support your professional development (including funded qualifications)
• Access to the annual share save scheme (15% discount on Brown & Brown shares)

Your experience:

• Ideally you’ll have a solid grounding across the range of Commercial Insurance market or looking to step up from a new business focused role
• You’ll be able to communicate clearly and effectively with stakeholders at all levels and should be used to using Word, Excel and wider broking platforms (Acturis in an ideal world)
• You should also be confident in dealing with stakeholders at all levels particularly board level.
• Your wider skill set should include high level negotiation, stakeholder management, technical, influencing and IT skills coupled with the ability to spot an opportunity for growth
