York | Hybrid Working | Salary: Whatever it takes to secure the right person
Some Account Executive roles give you a laptop, a target and wish you luck.
This isn’t one of them.
Our client is a well-established commercial insurance broker with an outstanding reputation across Yorkshire. They’re looking for an Account Executive who wants to build something for the long term—not just chase next month’s figures.
Whether you’re already an established Executive or an ambitious Account Handler or New Business Executive ready to step up, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
The Opportunity
From day one, you’ll inherit an established portfolio of commercial clients generating around £150,000 income across Yorkshire, including York, Harrogate, Bradford, Keighley, Sheffield and Doncaster.
Your focus won’t simply be maintaining the account.
You’ll be trusted to develop it.
That means strengthening existing relationships, identifying opportunities to cross-sell and grow each client, winning quality new business and becoming the trusted adviser your clients rely on.
There is also something refreshingly honest about this opportunity.
Like many successful Account Executives, you’ll inevitably build strong relationships with your clients. When any post-termination restrictions from your current employer have expired, you’ll have every opportunity to continue growing your own portfolio with clients who choose to work with you.
No smoke and mirrors. No pretending that isn’t how good brokers grow.
Even more exciting, one of the Directors will be retiring in the near future. Their significant portfolio is expected to form part of the long-term succession plan, giving the successful individual the opportunity to inherit additional clients as they prove themselves.
This isn’t just a job.
It’s a genuine opportunity to build a substantial book of business that could define your career.
You’ll Never Be Left To Do It Alone
Winning business is much easier when you’ve got the right people behind you.
You’ll be supported by:
- Dedicated Account Handlers who look after the servicing.
- An experienced Claims Team.
- Administrative support.
- A telesales team who can generate appointments in sectors or geographical areas you want to target.
- One of the strongest broking teams in the market, capable of placing everything from SME risks through to complex commercial programmes.
Their philosophy is simple.
Keep Account Executives in front of clients, not buried behind a desk.
Why People Join
Many brokers expect you to sell while giving you little support.
Others restrict which insurers you can approach or make winning business harder through unnecessary processes and approvals.
Here, you’ll have access to an exceptional range of markets, experienced technical brokers and the freedom to pursue opportunities wherever you see them.
If there’s a good piece of business to win, the whole team will help you win it.
What They’re Looking For
You’ll probably already have experience managing commercial clients and be comfortable developing new business.
More importantly, you’ll enjoy building relationships, spotting opportunities and creating your own success rather than waiting for opportunities to arrive.
Whether you’ve built a loyal client following already or you’re just beginning that journey, attitude and ambition matter every bit as much as experience.
What You’ll Receive
- A genuinely flexible salary based on the value and experience you bring.
- A generous bonus structure for new business.
- Regular salary reviews that reflect the size and value of the portfolio you’ve built.
- Hybrid working, with flexibility increasing as relationships and trust develop.
- Outstanding technical, claims and administrative support.
- A relaxed, collaborative culture where people leave their egos at the door.
- Long-term career opportunities within a growing business.
If you’re looking for somewhere you can build a career, build a reputation and build a book of business that genuinely becomes your own, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.
