If you enjoy the trading side of insurance and want more room to influence the outcome, then this is the kind of role that tends to stand out. You will work closely with internal stakeholders, support the placement of larger and harder to place risks and help secure the right outcome for both colleagues and clients. You will also be working alongside sales and client teams internally, helping to shape strategy on new business and defensive renewals, bringing a practical view of market appetite, placement routes and deal viability.
You will broker new and renewal business across a range of insurer relationships, with a particular focus on complex, larger or less straightforward risks. You will negotiate terms, rates and coverage with the market, always with a view to securing the right commercial and technical outcome. You will provide informed placement advice on challenging renewals and help create solutions where standard routes are unlikely to be enough. This could suit someone already working in a broking, placement, account handling, account executive or market-facing underwriting role who wants a more influential position. Your current job title matters less than your technical grounding, your commercial instinct and your ability to deal confidently with insurers and internal stakeholders alike.
Strong insurance knowledge and a sound understanding of commercial risks. The confidence to deal with larger or harder to place cases without losing sight of the commercial objective.
You’ll be joining a well established and highly regarded insurance group with a serious reputation in the market, a stable platform, and a culture that gives people room to build a long term career. The salary is up to £55,000, with bonus potential of 15%, a strong pension and a wider benefits package that is known to be one of the more attractive on offer in this part of the market. The role is based in the West Midlands, within a business that also invests heavily in development and long-term career progression. You’ll work on a hybrid basis with 40% office based.
For the right person this move offers more scope, more autonomy and better quality market engagement without pushing you into a purely sales led environment….
