Understanding how businesses operate, where they're exposed, and how insurance becomes a tool for growth, not just protection.

Key Responsibilities: Managing cross-class risks including property, liability, motor, fleet, cyber and professional indemnity. Acting as a key day-to-day contact, building strong client relationships. Working closely with Account Directors on complex placements and programme design. Handling renewals, mid-term adjustments and general servicing. Preparing market submissions and negotiating with insurers. Identifying gaps in cover and supporting cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Supporting and contributing to client meetings and reviews. What You Will Bring: Strong commercial insurance experience. Experience managing multiple clients, not just a small number of giant accounts as part of a team. Strong cross-class knowledge across property, liability, motor, cyber and financial lines. Confidence working with senior stakeholders and Account Directors. Strong communication skills and a proactive approach. Acturis experience is an advantage. What You Will Get: Exposure to complex corporate clients across multiple sectors.

Close working with experienced Account Directors. A role with real client interaction and responsibility. A growing business with strong career development. Hybrid working and flexibility.
