Development Executive

Company: IDEX Consulting
Apply for the Development Executive
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Job Description:

An ambitious, fast‑growing insurance brokerage group is looking to appoint a Development Executive to support continued expansion across the North.

The Opportunity

This is a pure development role designed for an individual who thrives on winning new business and building relationships from scratch.

  • Generating and converting new business opportunities (typically £10k+ premium cases)
  • Building a pipeline through networking, insurer relationships, and market engagement
  • Leveraging in‑house marketing, data, and contact management support
  • Developing into a Client Director over time

You won’t inherit a book from day one (unless you bring a niche specialism), giving you the freedom to shape your own portfolio and focus on growth.

What’s on Offer

  • A structured 3‑year development plan
  • Full support in year one to help you build a sustainable pipeline
  • Access to in‑house MGAs, providing greater flexibility and competitiveness in the market
  • Strong internal infrastructure including marketing, data buying, and lead generation support
  • A collaborative culture where individuals are recognised – not lost in a large corporate structure

Expectation: You’ll aim to cover 130% of your base salary within the first 12 months, supported every step of the way.

About You

  • A proven new business developer within the insurance market
  • Comfortable operating in the £10k+ premium space (SME / Mid‑market)
  • Ideally experience in one of the following sectors:
    • Construction (highly desirable)
    • Haulage & Logistics
    • Warehousing
    • Technology / Life Sciences
    • High Net Worth or Motor Trade
  • Open to individuals with strong niche specialisms, even from non‑traditional backgrounds

Working Pattern

  • Flexible, hybrid working model
  • Typically 1‑2 days per month in the Manchester office (more if preferred)
  • Strong presence across the North, including both sides of the Pennines

Why Join?

This is a business in growth mode, where change is creating genuine opportunity. Despite a challenging market, the Manchester office has remained resilient, retaining key clients while continuing to win new business. You’ll be joining at a pivotal time, stepping into a role with real visibility and the chance to make an immediate impact ahead of the new financial year (July).
