Case Manager (Account Handler)

We are seeking a talented individual to join our team at Marsh Corporate within our Restructuring & Recovery team. This role can be based in our Birmingham or Reading office. This is a hybrid role that requires working at least 3 days a week in the office.

Specialising in insolvencies, as a Case Manager you will handle a wide range of risks of all sizes, with excellent opportunities to develop expertise across different areas and insurance lines. Insurance placements are not always annual, making the work fast‑paced and dynamic – no two days are alike. The Case Manager plays a pivotal role in consulting with clients to understand their service requirements and insurance needs, providing expert advice on placement and risk management.

This role is centred on building and maintaining strong, long‑term relationships with clients to ensure the consistent delivery of exceptional service. Acting as the primary point of contact for allocated clients, the Case Manager manages their cases with a focus on service excellence, ensuring that all relevant insurance and risk management considerations are discussed to enable clients to make well‑informed decisions.

Case Managers are responsible for delivering our Service Proposition relating to insurance placement options, including scheme placement, annual placement, and pre‑appointment insurance utilisation, ensuring that all options are thoroughly reviewed for each placement. Additionally, they provide risk management advice by signposting clients to the Risk Management team for relevant services. As the practice operates a Delegated Authority Scheme, Case Managers are expected to foster strong relationships with both scheme insurers and market insurers to facilitate the best possible outcomes for clients.

For this role we are happy to consider those with commercial insurance experience whether that be as an existing Account Handler, Broker or even Underwriter looking to move into a Case Manager role.

• Build, nurture, and maintain strong relationships both internally and externally to support collaborative working and client satisfaction.

• Collaborate closely with Client Service Directors to develop and execute strategies tailored to individual clients and client groups.
• Ensure timely acknowledgement and resolution of client queries, delivering outstanding service while proactively identifying and escalating potential vulnerabilities.

• Complete all relevant and regulatory mandatory training to expand knowledge in the role and own your personal development plan.
• Actively identify opportunities for expanded client services.
