Job Description

This is a career-defining opportunity for a proven sales leader within the commercial and corporate insurance sector.

As National Sales Director, you'll lead the growth strategy across the Complex and Major Risk division of a leading national broker - driving high-value, project-led new business wins while shaping the performance and direction of a talented national development team.

This is a front-line leadership role: strategic yet hands-on, balancing the demands of board-level planning with the energy and visibility to lead from the front. You'll work alongside the executive team to define the go-to-market strategy, build key partnerships, and ensure delivery against ambitious growth targets across major and multinational clients.

The Role

  • Set and execute the national sales and growth strategy across complex and major risk segments.
  • Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing team of Regional and Development Directors.
  • Personally contribute to winning and securing significant project-led new business opportunities.
  • Work collaboratively with placement, broking, and marketing teams to ensure full alignment and delivery.
  • Represent the brand at the highest level, engaging with major clients, networks, and market partners.

About You

  • A strategic, results-driven leader with a strong track record in major/corporate insurance sales.
  • Experience managing large or distributed sales teams within a national or multinational broking environment.
  • Exceptional communicator with boardroom presence and commercial credibility.
  • A growth-focused professional who combines leadership excellence with hands-on new business skill.

The Offer

  • Six-figure executive package including performance bonus and benefits.
  • Hybrid working with full autonomy and board-level influence.
  • The opportunity to shape the future of a high-performing, growth-oriented division within a respected national broker.

This is a rare chance to define and deliver a national sales strategy within the complex and major risk arena - leading from the front and setting the standard for excellence.
