If you are already managing sizeable corporate accounts, you will know how rare it is to find a move that gives you genuinely bigger clients, more complex programmes and the flexibility to do the job properly. Here, you would be working with clients worth £50,000 to £250,000+ in fee income and businesses that typically turn over £500m+, while retaining the autonomy and support needed to manage those relationships well.
This is a strong move for an Account Director who is comfortable advising major firms, building credibility with senior stakeholders and taking ownership of sophisticated client relationships. It will suit someone who wants substance in the work, proper scale in the portfolio and a role that reflects the level they are already operating at.
The opportunity
- This is a corporate account management role focused on major UK and international businesses with demanding insurance needs and high expectations of service. The emphasis is on quality of client work, depth of relationship and sound technical judgement.
- The role suits someone who is at their best when they have the space to think, advise properly and stay close to complex accounts over the long term.
What the role looks like
- You will take ownership of an established portfolio of major corporate and global clients, acting as the main point of contact and making sure programmes are structured, placed and serviced to the standard those accounts demand.
- The role can be fully homebased, remote or aligned to the nearest major city office, so there is genuine flexibility around location without losing the support of a wider broking team.
Responsibilities
- Managing large and complex corporate accounts from day-to-day servicing through to renewal strategy
- Building strong working relationships with senior client contacts and becoming a trusted adviser rather than a transactional broker
- Handling cases with substantial fee income and broader programme complexity
- Coordinating with internal broking, claims, risk and specialist teams where needed
- Leading renewals, market negotiations and placement discussions with a clear focus on client outcomes
- Identifying opportunities to deepen existing relationships where appropriate, while keeping the main focus on retention and client development
- Maintaining technical accuracy, good judgement and a high standard of presentation throughout the client lifecycle
Who this could suit
- An experienced Account Executive or Account Director already handling larger commercial or corporate clients
- Someone with a strong background in client management rather than pure new business
- A broker who is credible with senior decision-makers and comfortable dealing with more complex placements
- An individual who wants to move further into the corporate and international space, or continue there with better support and broader scope
- Someone who values autonomy and flexibility, but still wants the backing of a serious platform
The business
This sits within an established corporate insurance environment with the infrastructure, market access and specialist support needed to handle more demanding client relationships properly. It offers the scale and credibility major firms expect, while still giving experienced people room to manage accounts with care and judgement.

- Strong package of benefits
- Homebased, remote or office-aligned working
- Access to major corporate and international client work
