Our client is a growing independent commercial insurance broker with ambitious plans for the future. We are looking for an experienced, commercially driven insurance professional to join the business as Head of Broking & Client Growth. This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional broking or management position. You’ll combine technical broking, client development, leadership and business growth, working closely with the Managing Director and having a genuine influence on the future direction of the business.
What’s in it for you?
- Up to £80,000 basic salary
- 15% annual performance bonus
- 33% profit share on income generated above a £150,000 target
- Pension
- Professional qualification support
- Hybrid working
- Clear progression into Senior Leadership
- Significant autonomy and visibility within a growing independent broker
The Opportunity
As Head of Broking & Client Growth, you’ll take a leading role across the broking function while continuing to develop and manage your own commercial client portfolio. You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading, mentoring and developing the broking team
- Managing and growing a portfolio of SME and Mid-Market commercial clients
- Driving new business and supporting client retention
- Building strong, long-term relationships with insurers
- Providing technical oversight on complex commercial placements
- Identifying and developing new growth opportunities
- Working closely with the Managing Director on strategic initiatives
- Contributing to the wider direction and growth of the business
This is a hands-on leadership role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to clients, the insurer market and the day-to-day realities of commercial broking — not someone looking for a purely operational management position.
Who are we looking for?
You’ll need a strong commercial insurance background, with experience working across SME and Mid-Market clients, alongside a proven ability to develop and retain relationships. We’re looking for someone with:
- Strong commercial insurance broking experience
- A proven track record in client development and retention
- Good insurer market knowledge and established market relationships
- Experience mentoring, leading or managing colleagues
- Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills
- A sound understanding of FCA regulatory requirements
Desirable:
- Cert CII or Dip CII qualification
- Experience using Acturis
- Exposure to Property, Commercial Combined, Liability and Fleet
- Existing client, introducer or insurer relationships
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the strategy of a growing independent business, work directly with the Managing Director, build your own portfolio and have a direct financial stake in the success you create. For the right person, this role can be a genuine stepping stone into broader senior leadership, with the autonomy, influence and earning potential that comes with it.
