Job Description
If you are an experienced Account Director in the Midlands who enjoys managing complex corporate insurance programmes but feels boxed in by internal politics or unnecessary red tape, this will be worth a conversation.
This is a senior Account Director role handling a significant portfolio of large corporate clients across the Midlands. The book is established, well serviced and commercially important. You will not be firefighting broken accounts. You will be developing relationships, retaining business and shaping long term insurance strategy for sophisticated buyers.
The business is a major name in the UK insurance market, but this hire is confidential. What matters is that they invest properly in their people, back their Account Directors in front of clients and do not suffocate them with process.
You will be trusted to operate like a true Account Director in the Midlands. Largely home based, with client visits across the Midlands as required, you will have the autonomy that experienced insurance professionals value.
What you will be doing:
- Taking full ownership of a portfolio of large corporate insurance clients
- Acting as the senior contact for board level and risk management stakeholders
- Designing and overseeing complex insurance programmes across multiple classes
- Leading renewals strategy and insurer negotiations
- Identifying cross sell and growth opportunities within existing accounts
- Working closely with placement, claims and technical teams to deliver properly joined up service
- This is not a new business chasing role dressed up as an Account Director position. It is about stewardship, credibility and commercial judgement within the insurance space.
What you will bring:
- A strong track record as an Account Director, Client Director or Senior Account Executive in the corporate insurance market
- Experience handling large, multi class commercial insurance programmes
- Confidence dealing with senior decision makers
- Technical breadth across core commercial insurance lines
- A steady, relationship led approach rather than a transactional mindset
- The right Account Director will likely have built their career carefully within the Midlands insurance market. You may have been with your current broker for years. You are probably well regarded and well looked after. That is exactly the profile that succeeds here.
What is on offer:
- Salary between £60,000 and £85,000 depending on experience
- Car allowance and strong bonus structure
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Genuine flexibility with mainly home based working in the Midlands
- Long term career prospects within a respected insurance business
- This Account Director opportunity in the Midlands offers scale, autonomy and stability. It is suited to an insurance professional who values long term client relationships and wants to operate at a high level without unnecessary noise.
If you are an Account Director in the Midlands who would quietly explore something better, I am happy to have a discreet conversation.
