Position Brief
An exceptional opportunity has arisen with a highly respected, National Independent Insurance Broker boasting over 50 years of trading excellence. We are seeking a sophisticated Commercial Insurance Account Director to join their Shropshire team under a structured hybrid model.

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities
- Portfolio Management: Inherit, defend, and strategically nurture an established book of diverse commercial and corporate insurance risks.
- Client Advisory: Act as the trusted risk partner to senior decision-makers, managing complex renewals, mid-term adjustments, and strategic on-site risk reviews.
- Market Broking: Work in tandem with dedicated internal handlers and placement teams to secure optimum terms via an extensive panel of composite insurers and Lloyd's syndicates.
- Organic Growth: Identify cross-selling and up-selling opportunities within the inherited portfolio, alongside capturing warm introductory business.
- Hybrid Engagement: Maintain strong collaboration with internal placement teams during your 3 days in the office, while effectively managing remote work and client visits.
Candidate Profile
- Proven Experience: A robust background as a Commercial Account Executive or Director within the UK insurance broking market.
- Technical Breadth: Strong technical knowledge across multi-class commercial lines, including Property, Liability, Fleet, Farm and Agriculture and Commercial Combined risks.
