Account Executive (City of London)

Attractive salary (Negotiable) plus bonus & benefits.

London

From the UK’s largest shopping centres and retail parks, through to state-of-the-art logistics & distribution centres, and luxury student accommodation blocks, this Major & Complex Accounts Team’s portfolio is the envy of many competing brokers.

Having won 7 large (all six and seven-figure fee income) cases in recent months, it’s fair to say that this global broker is enjoying a sustained period of growth. Indeed, it is as a result of this growth that the need has arisen to appoint an additional Account Executive to its Real Estate Practice’s Major & Complex Accounts Team.

Here, you will inherit a portfolio of clients; the exact make-up of this can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and ambitions, but is likely to comprise circa 5 clients with individual earnings attached between £150,000 - £1,000,000.

Whilst all clients are ultimately overseen (at arm’s length!) by an Account Director, you will be responsible for leading the day-to-day management of your clients’ insurance programmes. This includes managing C-Suite relationships with billion-pound turnover companies, advising them on their risk strategies, designing their insurance programmes, managing the renewal process, and tasking colleagues (Brokers, Account Handlers etc) to deal with mid-terms, reports and MI etc.

It is worth stressing that this role is a 100% client-servicing position, and whilst you will of course be encouraged to cross and up-sell ancillary products and services to mitigate risks where appropriate, there are no sales targets.

Whilst it is not essential that you have previously managed six-figure income clients, you must have some experience of dealing with larger Real Estate, Property Owners or Construction accounts, and enjoy keeping abreast of developments in this fast-paced sector. You must also be a polished communicator with excellent interpersonal skills, who can build a professional rapport with board members of large businesses who are educated and sophisticated insurance buyers.

As a senior member of the team, who will be responsible for allocating workloads to support personnel, you must also have strong delegation and leadership skills, and enjoy supporting colleagues to achieve their career goals.

In return, you will receive a generous basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), together with a market-leading flexible-benefits package that can be tweaked to suit your own personal circumstances. For the ambitious, this role can lead onto a myriad of opportunities for progression over the short, medium and longer-term.

This team operates out of state-of-the-art offices in one of the City of London’s landmark buildings, and you will be welcome to work remotely 2-3 days per week.
