This is a fantastic opportunity to join our Corporate Sales Team as a Commercial Account Handler on a 12 months FTC. You'll play a key role in managing new business submissions across a broad range of commercial insurance products, ensuring every client receives a service that's professional, responsive and tailored to their needs. From onboarding to appropriating terms and negotiating premiums, you'll take ownership of the full lifecycle of each case. Working closely with agents, suppliers and insurers, you'll bring clarity and confidence to complex commercial risks. With a strong focus on governance and compliance, you'll help us maintain the high standards our clients expect. You'll be based in our hybrid working environment, typically spending two days a week in the office. It's a role that offers variety, challenge and the chance to make a real impact.
You're an experienced Account Handler with a solid understanding of commercial insurance products-particularly casualty, Contractor All Risk (CAR) and property. If you have knowledge of marine, freight and trade, even better! You know how to assess risk, negotiate effectively and deliver results that balance client needs with business goals. You're confident working independently, but you also thrive in a team. You bring energy, attention to detail and a natural ability to prioritise. Whether you're liaising with stakeholders or managing multiple submissions, you stay calm, focused and professional. You're someone who values doing things properly. You understand the importance of compliance and governance, and you take pride in delivering work that's accurate and well-considered. Above all, you're motivated by helping clients find the right solutions-and you're ready to bring that commitment to a team that shares your values.
