Business Development Executive. Job in Walsall LilyLifestyle Jobs

You reach a point in your career where results still matter but how you get them matters more. If you work in insurance, you'll know exactly what we mean. You can build relationships, you know how to open doors. But too often, the way insurance is sold leaves you explaining things away rather than standing behind them.

As a Business Development Executive here, insurance is still very much the core. It's just done properly. You'll be joining an insurance business that has grown through trust, referrals and long‑term relationships, not pressure tactics. In its entire trading history, it has never had a single complaint, not one. That doesn't happen by accident. It comes from doing the right thing, setting expectations honestly, and walking away when something isn't right.

That approach has worked brilliantly within a very specific niche. That niche is now full, and the next stage is about taking those same values into wider commercial insurance markets.

As the Business Development Executive, you're the first insurance conversation. You'll be speaking to business owners and decision makers, understanding their risks at a high level, and deciding whether there's a genuine fit. You're not closing policies or handling admin. You're opening doors and qualifying opportunities before handing them over internally to be handled carefully and compliantly. That separation matters in insurance. It protects clients. It protects the business, and it protects you.

The insurance proposition itself reflects the same thinking. Alongside traditional commercial insurance, there's also an ethical, mutual fund‑based alternative. Clients contribute to a shared fund rather than paying into a black box. If the fund performs well, everyone benefits and prices either stay the same or more likely decrease from the previous year. It changes the tone of the insurance conversation completely.

As a Business Development Executive, you're trusted to manage yourself. Your diary, your relationships and your time are yours to run—no scripts, no call stats, no micromanaging. You'll work closely with the Managing Director, someone who knows the insurance market inside out and has built the business on principles rather than hype.

The process is straightforward. One proper screening conversation, then one final face‑to‑face interview. And this is a business that invests in you. As a Business Development Executive, you'll be supported with funded insurance qualifications and ongoing development. Not tick‑box training, but proper learning that deepens your understanding and strengthens the conversations you're having.

So what's in it for you as Business Development Executive? You stay in insurance, but in a way you can genuinely stand behind. You focus on relationships rather than paperwork. You're trusted to use judgement rather than scripts. You're backed with training & recognised insurance qualifications. You're paid properly for the value you bring. There's a competitive OTE around £50k, with the basic genuinely open depending on your experience and what you bring with you.

If you're experienced in insurance but want to work in a way that feels more considered, more ethical and more human, this is worth a conversation.
