One of West Yorkshire's best-known brokers, this firm has had a presence in Halifax for a number of years and is home to some of its best known insurance practitioners. Unsurprisingly, its portfolio includes some of the region's largest and most coveted accounts, including well-known names from such sectors as Manufacturing, Retail and the Professions. Due to the continued acquisition of quality accounts, the need has arisen for an additional Account Executive to join the team and inherit a portfolio of accounts. So broad is the branch's portfolio, that the accounts to be passed over can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and ambitions. For example, you may be more comfortable with SME to middle-market risks paying commissions between £2,500 to £10,000. Alternatively, you may currently be in the mid-corporate space, but want to push yourself to deal with even larger risks with complex global exposures that generate fees in excess of £50,000. Either way, the focus here is very much on the management of existing business rather than developing new accounts. Of course, you will be encouraged to grow the account both organically, or by doing some new business, but the expectations in this regard are very realistic and there is telesales and marketing support on hand, if desired. It is essential that you have a solid grounding in commercial broking, including knowledge of all common commercial covers such as Property, Liability, PI, D&O, Fleets etc. Whilst we would consider someone currently in a Broker / Account Handler role for an SME Account Executive position, to inherit more complex accounts you ideally need to be currently working as an Account Executive. You must also be a team player, have excellent communication skills, and a genuine interest for the issues that can affect different businesses. In return, you will receive a basic salary that is anticipated to be between £50,000 and £70,000 but entirely negotiable for outstanding candidates. You will also receive a generous bonus and a comprehensive range of benefits that can be tweaked to suit your personal circumstances.

Looking for a career, not just your first job? If you've recently finished college or university and you're wondering what comes next, this could be an opportunity worth considering. Our client is a long-established, independent commercial insurance broker based in Rotherham. They are looking for a bright, personable and ambitious individual to join their team as a Trainee Commercial Insurance Broker. No previous insurance experience is required. Instead, they are looking for someone with the right attitude: somebody who is keen to learn, enjoys dealing with people, has good communication skills and wants to build a genuine long-term career. Why consider a career in commercial insurance? Insurance probably isn't the first career most people think about when leaving college or university - but perhaps it should be Commercial insurance is a huge and varied industry. Almost every business, from a small local company to a major multinational, needs insurance. As a broker, you'll learn how different businesses operate, understand the risks they face and help arrange the insurance protection they need. It can also offer something increasingly valuable: career stability. Businesses continue to need insurance through good economic times and bad, making the industry relatively resilient compared with many other sectors. And this isn't a role where you'll simply be given a desk and expected to work everything out for yourself. You'll receive extensive one-to-one training from experienced insurance professionals, gradually learning about the many different types of commercial insurance and how to look after business clients. You'll learn how to speak with clients, understand their businesses, assess their insurance requirements, approach insurers, negotiate cover and help put together appropriate insurance programmes. As your knowledge and confidence develop, so will your responsibilities. The company will also pay for you to study towards recognised Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) qualifications, allowing you to build professional credentials alongside your practical experience. You don't need insurance experience, and you don't need to know exactly what you want to do for the next 40 years. You might have recently completed A-levels, a college course or a university degree and simply be looking for an interesting career with genuine prospects. What matters more is that you are bright, enthusiastic, reliable and willing to learn. You should be comfortable talking to people, have good written and verbal communication skills and be keen to develop professionally. For the right person, this isn't simply an opportunity to get your first job. It's an opportunity to learn a profession, gain recognised qualifications and build a career.

It should be no surprise that when this dynamic insurer decided to build a London Market Claims Team in the UK regions, it plumped for Leeds - it has been established locally for over 20 years, already boasts a significant claims team that comprises many of the region's most gifted insurance professionals, and has recently invested significantly in the acquisition of penthouse offices in perhaps Leeds' most prestigious office addresses. It is arguably the most exciting insurance company in the market right now, using ingenuity combined with technical expertise and cutting-edge technology to underwrite risks that other insurers shy away from. This 'can do' attitude, coupled with an unwavering focus on client service, is serving it well; the business is currently enjoying 20% year on year growth, and is well on track to exceed its plans to double in size within 5 years. The new London Market Claims Team has 3 distinct divisions; Professional Risks, Energy and Marine. Claims Adjusters will be working on files with reserves up to US$250,000, and sometimes higher on a referral basis, with the vast majority of losses coming through the broker channel. You will be responsible for managing your caseload on a cradle to grave basis; including establishing quantum, investigating the circumstances around a loss, and appointing Adjusters. You will keep accurate records of all work undertaken, regularly updating inhouse and London Market claims systems and, when required, compiling accurate management information for a range of stakeholders. In order to obtain the best possible settlement, you must have superb problem solving and negotiation skills, a keen eye for detail and the ability to work on a number of files at any one time. You must also have excellent (internal and external) stakeholder management skills, including the ability to hold difficult conversations with people from a wide range of backgrounds. You should also be able to communicate fluently in writing and be competent working with bespoke computer packages. You'll be highly numerate and comfortable analysing various sets of data, with the ability to spot trends and anomalies. It is essential that you have relevant experience, either gained within a commercial claims or personal injury background - this can be from either insurers, brokers or legal firms. As there are several vacancies, we welcome applications from candidates from a range of backgrounds including EL/PL, RTA, Commercial Property etc. Equally, we welcome applications from candidates with previous London Market claims experience. Our client is based a stone's throw from Leeds railway station, close to the main public transport links and all the amenities the city centre has to offer. You will be welcome to work from home 1 day per week. In addition to a generous basic salary, you will receive a fantastic benefits package that includes a lucrative bonus and an impressive pension arrangement. For the ambitious, there is surely a host of opportunities for progression locally as the team continues to grow; this could be into managerial, technical or specialist roles, or moving across to other areas of the business such as Underwriting. Indeed, it is entirely feasible (but only if desired) to relocate to London and work from the City offices. In addition to an attractive basic salary and outstanding benefits package, you'll receive a very lucrative annual bonus.

With a young management team who have been successfully operating with a high degree of autonomy since opening a local office for a national broker five years ago, this is a great place to for an ambitious Senior Account Handler who wishes to combine a positive working environment with the chance to have meaningful input in the future direction of the branch. This broker has grown tremendously on a national level since its inception, and is famed in the industry for its unwavering focus on client service, the technical ability of its staff, and its robust back-office support function that includes sophisticated use of IT. This impressive growth trajectory has been reflected locally, and the East Leeds operation is now home to some of the best-known insurance professionals in the West Yorkshire market and holds some of the region's most coveted accounts. Here, you will play a key part in supporting several Directors/ Account Executives in the day-to-day servicing of a portfolio of clients. These accounts can range in complexity, with 'bread & butter' accounts being in the region of £10,000 - £25,000 commission and fee income, with some cases being many times this. Clients are from a range of industry sectors such as Manufacturing, Retail and Construction. Duties will include preparing renewals, marketing risks & re-broking exercises, dealing with mid-term amendments, negotiating with insurers, and preparing a variety of reports and documentation. For those who are joining as a senior member of the team, you will also be expected to help less-experienced colleagues on an ad hoc-basis, and share best practice, promote the activities of the CII and BIBA etc. Regardless of your seniority, there is a really open culture here, where everyone's' voices are heard, and you will be encouraged to contribute to ideas - whether that be for fun initiatives for the team, or how to deliver heightened levels of client service. Whilst we are keen to hear from Senior Account Handlers and those who have dealt with more complex risks, we welcome applications from Account Handlers and Brokers with all levels of experience. What is more important is attitude, enthusiasm and a passion for client service. You should also have good IT skills, a high degree of accuracy and an eye for detail. As you may expect from a modern, forward-thinking broker, this is a hybrid opportunity, where you will be encouraged to work from home several days per week, if desired. This broker is based on the outskirts of Garforth, minutes from the M1 and just a little further from the M62, East Leeds Orbital Road & A64, and has extensive, free on-site parking. The Springs Shopping Centre is just next door, and Leeds city centre is a convenient commute. You will benefit from a generous basic salary, plus bonus, PMI, DIS, Cash Plan and 30 days holiday.

We are delighted to be working with one of the world's leading insurance broking organisations as it looks to strengthen its highly successful Corporate team in Leeds. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced commercial insurance professional who wants to move beyond the SME/mid-market space and gain exposure to genuinely large, complex and prestigious corporate accounts. Working closely with an experienced Director, you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day management and renewal process of a portfolio of major corporate clients, acting as a central point between the client, insurers and the numerous specialist teams involved in servicing these accounts. Depending on the client, you could be coordinating specialists across areas such as property, casualty, cyber, risk management and other specialist classes. You aren't expected to be the technical expert in every area. Instead, you'll need to understand your client's business, recognise what they need and make sure the right specialists from across the organisation are brought together at the right time. Although you'll play an important role in managing renewals and the ongoing servicing of accounts, you'll become closely involved in understanding your clients' businesses and identifying opportunities to provide additional support. One particularly interesting aspect of the role is the ability to work with clients around risk management initiatives. This can include negotiating significant risk management bursaries to fund projects such as Business Continuity Planning and Business Interruption reviews - adding genuine value to the client relationship while contributing towards the growth of the account. As you'd expect from a global insurance broker, that can also mean working with colleagues across different offices, countries and territories. You'll therefore need to be tenacious, organised and commercially astute, with the confidence to build strong relationships both with clients and internally. It's the type of role where you'll gradually develop a much broader understanding of complex corporate insurance and how major businesses manage risk. Naturally, we'd be interested in hearing from experienced Account Executives who already have exposure to larger commercial or corporate clients. However, we're equally interested in speaking with ambitious individuals whose current job title might not immediately appear to be an obvious match. For example, you may currently be a highly experienced Account Handler, already dealing with complex commercial insurance programmes and feeling ready to take the next step. Technical insurance knowledge is important, but so are intelligence, tenacity and the ability to get things done. You'll need to be someone who can build relationships, coordinate numerous parties and confidently navigate a large organisation on behalf of your clients. This is an organisation that can offer considerably more than simply another insurance job. You'll be working alongside some of the most experienced professionals in the industry, dealing with major corporate clients and gaining exposure to areas of insurance that simply aren't available within many smaller broking environments. For someone ambitious, it provides an excellent platform from which to continue developing towards a more senior position in the future. The company operates a hybrid working model, typically split approximately 50/50 between home working and time spent in the Leeds office or visiting clients. If you're an experienced commercial insurance professional who feels ready for bigger clients, greater complexity and considerably more opportunity, we'd be very interested in speaking with you. You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), together with an excellent benefits package.
