Insurance Account Executive
London (On-site)
£40,000 – £55,000 + bonus (DOE)
The Opportunity:
We’re working with a well-regarded specialist insurance brokerage looking to appoint an Account Executive to take ownership of an established and profitable client book. This is a great opportunity for someone who is already operating at Account Executive level – or ready to step into it – and wants autonomy, client ownership, and the ability to grow a portfolio over time.
You’ll inherit a live book of business from day one, working with a mix of complex commercial risks and high-value clients, with the freedom to manage relationships, lead renewals, and shape placement strategy.
The Role:
You’ll act as the primary relationship lead for your portfolio, taking full ownership of client delivery and commercial performance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing an existing client book, acting as the main point of contact
- Leading renewals end-to-end, including market approach, negotiation, and placement
- Advising clients on programme structure, policy wording, and risk strategy
- Building long-term, consultative client relationships
- Liaising directly with insurers and underwriters to secure competitive terms
- Identifying opportunities to grow and develop the portfolio
- Ensuring FCA compliance, accurate documentation, and high service standards
- Working closely with internal broking and support teams to deliver seamlessly
About You
You’ll be confident operating independently, with strong technical grounding and a commercial mindset.
We’re looking for:
- 3+ years’ experience within insurance broking or an Account Executive role
- Proven experience owning or managing a client book
- Strong knowledge of commercial insurance products
- Confidence dealing directly with clients, insurers, and underwriters
- Ability to manage multiple renewals and deadlines effectively
- Commercial awareness with a focus on client retention and growth
- Cert CII (or working towards) is advantageous
What’s on Offer
- £40,000 – £55,000 base salary (DOE) + bonus
- Immediate ownership of a live, established client portfolio
- Exposure to complex, technically interesting risks
- A supportive, specialist brokerage environment
- Clear opportunity to grow your book and progress your career
Why This Role?
- Step into a true Account Executive position – not just servicing
- Real autonomy and client ownership from day one
- Opportunity to build and shape your own portfolio
- Work within a high-quality, client-focused brokerage
