Roles like this really are few and far between. This Trainee Business Development Manager opportunity has arisen within the Sales & Distribution team of a highly prestigious insurer, renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets.
The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, with a reputation for excellence, innovation, and formidable customer service. This opportunity is refreshing because our client is seeking someone who they can mould and nurture; previous experience in an official business development role is not essential.
You will be responsible for promoting the company’s suite of commercial insurance products to a panel of brokers all over the UK. Your duties will include:
- Making Discovery telephone calls to brokers to understand their business needs.
- Identifying specific risks for which the underwriting team can quote.
- Following the sales process through to the inception of cover.
- Building strong relationships with your broker panel.
- Working closely with the regional business development team to meet sales objectives.
- Attending face-to-face broker visits as encouraged.
Career development opportunities are abundant, with the previous incumbent promoted into a more senior BDM role within 12 months. It is essential that you have previous general insurance experience, ideally with commercial insurance products, although exceptional candidates from a personal lines/high net worth background will be considered.
You should be engaging, inquisitive, and good at spotting opportunities, with superb communication skills and the ability to build strong rapport with brokers. Enjoy working to targets.
The company invests heavily in its staff, providing proper careers with mentorship. They operate a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home. The team is well-renowned for their friendly, supportive, and collaborative environment, with many sports and social events available, including an annual summer ball.
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (negotiable depending on experience), a highly lucrative bonus scheme, and impressive corporate benefits, including substantial pension contributions and financial bonuses for passing CII qualifications.
