Broking Director

Build and Lead the Broking Proposition of a Growing Insurance Business. An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an ambitious insurance business backed by a major international organisation. This is a unique opportunity to shape and lead the next phase of growth, developing a modern broking proposition that combines traditional insurance expertise with technology, strategic partnerships and data-led client opportunities. With access to a significant international network and an established client ecosystem, the business is well positioned to build long-term relationships with mid-market and corporate organisations requiring sophisticated insurance solutions.

The Opportunity: As Broking Director, you will lead the development and execution of the broking strategy, taking ownership of the placement of complex commercial insurance programmes while building a high-performing broking function capable of supporting future growth. Working closely with insurers, Lloyd's markets, strategic partners and senior leadership, you will help shape the future direction of the business, identifying new opportunities, strengthening insurer relationships and delivering exceptional outcomes for clients. This is a rare opportunity to build something with genuine scale and long-term ambition rather than simply inherit an existing portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership
  • Develop and execute the long-term broking strategy.
  • Build and lead a high-performing broking team.
  • Help shape the future growth of the business and its insurance proposition.
  • Work closely with senior leadership to identify new commercial opportunities.
• Market Placement Leadership
  • Lead the placement of large and complex commercial insurance programmes.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with insurers, reinsurers and Lloyd's syndicates.
  • Negotiate programme structure, pricing and capacity.
  • Develop innovative placement strategies and alternative risk solutions where appropriate.
• Client Development
  • Lead relationships with sophisticated commercial and corporate clients.
  • Deliver tailored insurance programmes across a broad range of industry sectors.
  • Support the continued expansion of the client portfolio through strategic relationships and cross-business opportunities.
  • Work collaboratively across the wider organisation to identify and convert new insurance opportunities.
• Business Growth
  • Play a central role in expanding the broking proposition.
  • Develop new insurer partnerships and market opportunities.
  • Support the evolution of technology-enabled insurance solutions and embedded insurance opportunities.
  • Help establish the business as a leading adviser to mid-market and corporate clients.
• Governance Performance
  • Ensure high standards of technical broking, compliance and governance.
  • Monitor financial performance, profitability and operational effectiveness.
  • Develop a culture focused on technical excellence, client service and commercial growth.

About You

This role will suit an experienced insurance leader who combines exceptional technical broking expertise with a commercial mindset and the ambition to build a growing business. You'll bring experience in several of the following areas:

• Leading the placement of complex commercial or corporate insurance programmes.
• Building strong relationships across the London Market and Lloyd's.
• Developing insurer partnerships and negotiating sophisticated programme structures.
• Winning, developing and retaining larger commercial and corporate clients.
• Building or leading successful broking teams.
• Developing new propositions and supporting business growth.
• Operating at executive level with the credibility to influence clients, insurers and senior stakeholders alike.

Experience of working with clients generating approximately £1 million to £50 million in turnover would be particularly relevant, together with a strong understanding of the challenges facing growing UK and global businesses.

Why This Role?

This is far more than a traditional broking leadership position. You'll have the opportunity to shape the strategy of an ambitious insurance business, build long-term insurer partnerships and develop a proposition that leverages technology, data and an extensive business network to create sustainable growth. For someone who enjoys combining technical broking excellence with commercial leadership and entrepreneurial thinking, this represents a genuine opportunity to build something special within a well-backed and well-connected organisation. Excellent executive package, bonus and comprehensive benefits are offered.
