Development Executive in Reading

If you are good enough to win major corporate business, your bonus should reflect it. This Development Executive role offers the chance to earn into six figures on bonus alone, but what makes that credible is the quality of the opportunity. You will be working in a new business team alongside established corporate partners to win clients with turnover up to £500 million, across all lines of business, with the support of an outstanding broking team, first-rate research capability and dedicated project management resource.

What the role involves:

• Develop and convert new business opportunities through established corporate partner relationships.
• Engage with larger corporate clients across all lines of business.
• Build and manage a pipeline of high-value opportunities through to completion.
• Work closely with broking, research and project management support to build credible client propositions.
• Lead client conversations around risk, programme structure and wider insurance strategy.
• Maintain momentum across longer and more complex sales processes.
• Contribute to a high-performance new business culture focused on winning substantial accounts.

Who this role could suit:

• A proven Development Executive or New Business Account Executive in commercial or corporate insurance.
• Someone who is comfortable operating with larger clients and more complex insurance programmes.
• A broker who can open doors, build confidence and convert business without relying on gimmicks.
• An insurance professional who wants better-quality opportunity rather than more low-value activity.
• Someone motivated by serious bonus potential and confident in their ability to earn it.
• A commercially sharp, self-directed broker who performs best when trusted to get on with the job.

This role needs someone with drive, but not the empty version of it that gets thrown around in job adverts. It needs someone who can create momentum, read a room well, handle senior stakeholders and stay in control of an opportunity through a longer decision cycle. If you are already doing that, but feel under-supported or under-rewarded, this should be taken seriously.

Why this role:

What makes this opportunity stand out is not just the salary band or the bonus headline. It is the structure around it. The corporate partner route gives you access to better conversations. The scale of client gives the role more substance. The quality of the broking team, the research support and the project management resource mean you are not carrying the full weight of the opportunity on your own. That combination is what gives very good Development Executives the room to produce exceptional numbers.
