Senior Account Handler

This is the perfect opportunity for an experienced account handler who is keen to take responsibility within an established team and deliver exceptional service and results when dealing with commercial and corporate clients. Playing a crucial role, your key responsibilities will be to maintain and grow strong relationships with existing clients, finding the best insurance solutions for them. You will also be working to help maximise revenue by proactively identifying cross-selling opportunities and contributing to new business growth. There will be no new business targets for this role.

Daily duties will involve enabling seamless and timely renewal experiences for clients by preparing renewal schedules or negotiating and preparing alternative quotes for them. This will include efficiently and capably managing all the required accompanying documentation and credit control. In addition, you will handle new business queries and quotations to assist the Account. Throughout, you will ensure all aspects of your work meet compliance requirements.

The company is a well-established, purpose-led independent insurance broker with over 66 years’ experience. Right now, the company is rapidly expanding and has ambitious growth plans - offering fantastic career and personal development opportunities for talented insurance professionals who share its ethos. However, the company is part of something bigger. It belongs to an innovative and diverse wider international group of over 30 financial services businesses that exist to give profits to good causes. With a 135-year history, this unique group operates a culture of kindness, great ambition and the drive to “do better and be better”. Owned by a charity, the group is currently the UK’s third largest corporate donor (having given away £200m since 2016) and aims to become the UK’s number one corporate donor, with strategic objectives in place to double its current size.

Candidates will need to demonstrate a proven account handling track record, preferably within a broad range of commercial insurance products. To succeed in this role, you will need the innate ability to establish and nurture solid and positive relationships: with clients, insurers/underwriters and your colleagues. This will also include expertise in managing less experienced team members, helping them to develop and flourish. You will also be a confident communicator and strong negotiator bringing excellent organisational skills.

Hybrid working is available. You will be required to be office-based for only three days per week (to include Wednesday, which is a set day). Exceptional career development opportunities will be offered, including funded support and financial incentives for all professional qualifications. The very attractive benefits package includes employer pension contribution, annual bonus scheme, life assurance cover and 25 days’ annual leave which rises with years of service. It would be advantageous if candidates can drive and free parking is available. Based in the charming and bustling London or Godalming office, either one of these locations will be on your new office.
