Salary: Β£50K - Β£70K + bonus
If you're a Commercial Account Executive who gets your biggest buzz from opening doors, winning new business and building relationships, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
We're working with an established commercial insurance broker that is looking to appoint an ambitious New Business Account Executive to play a key role in the continued growth of its Stockport operation.
Working closely with the Managing Director, you'll have the opportunity to create your own opportunities, win your own clients and build a portfolio that you can genuinely call your own.
You'll take ownership of the relationships you develop, managing clients through their insurance journey, leading renewal and mid-term conversations and identifying opportunities to retain, nurture and grow your portfolio over the long term.
The business has built a highly respected reputation over many years, with an established brand, loyal clients and strong relationships across the commercial insurance market.
It is also part of one of the UK's largest independent insurance broking groups, giving the business access to the scale, expertise, resources and market relationships of a much wider organisation.
You get the personal, entrepreneurial feel and autonomy of an established independent broker, where your contribution is visible and relationships really matter, alongside the support, infrastructure and wider capabilities of a large independent group.
This is a genuine new-business-led position, with your primary focus being the development and acquisition of new commercial clients.
You'll be expected to generate your own leads and build your own pipeline through prospecting, networking, referrals and your existing market relationships. You'll also benefit from leads generated by the wider group's telemarketing function.
The business specialises in mid-market and larger commercial insurance across a broad range of sectors, giving you plenty of scope to utilise your existing network and develop new relationships.
Once you've won the business, you'll remain responsible for the client relationship, working closely with an experienced Account Handling team to ensure a smooth onboarding process and excellent ongoing service.
Proactively identifying and pursuing new commercial insurance opportunities.
Building relationships with business owners, directors and key decision-makers.
Using your existing network and market knowledge to open new opportunities.
Understanding clients' businesses and developing tailored insurance solutions.
Taking ownership of the clients you win and building long-term relationships.
Working with the Account Handling team to ensure excellent service delivery and client retention.
Maintaining accurate sales activity and pipeline reporting.
We're looking for an experienced Commercial Account Executive with a genuine hunter mentality.
Someone who enjoys opening doors, creating conversations and turning prospects into clients, and takes pride in developing the relationships you establish, earning clients' loyalty and finding ways to grow the account year after year.
At least 3 years' commercial insurance experience, ideally across multiple classes.
Strong commercial and market knowledge, with established insurer relationships.
Excellent relationship-building and customer service skills.
The ability to understand complex client requirements and develop appropriate insurance solutions.
If you're an Account Executive or Account Handler who wants to win business, build relationships and grow a portfolio, and you're looking for a platform where your ambition, network and ability can genuinely make a difference, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
