Job Description

If you are a Corporate Account Handler in Birmingham who enjoys working on complex programmes rather than high volume SME churn, this is worth your attention.

This role sits within a well funded, acquisitive insurance group, but the appointment is confidential. What matters is the quality of the corporate book in Birmingham and the level of technical exposure available to you as a Corporate Account Handler.

You will be working with sizeable commercial and corporate insurance clients across multiple sectors. These are structured programmes with layered placements, not off the shelf policies. You will have direct insurer interaction and meaningful involvement in strategy, not just processing.

The Birmingham office is established, visible in the local insurance market and backed by strong leadership. This is a team that values technical credibility and long term client relationships.

What you will be doing:

  • Managing renewals for a portfolio of corporate insurance clients
  • Preparing market submissions and negotiating terms with insurers
  • Handling complex mid term adjustments across multi class programmes
  • Supporting Account Executives and Directors with large, strategic accounts
  • Attending client meetings where appropriate in Birmingham and surrounding areas
  • Ensuring documentation, compliance and reporting are delivered to a high standard
  • As a Corporate Account Handler, you will be expected to understand programme structure, insurer appetite and the commercial dynamics of corporate insurance. You will not be micromanaged, but you will be trusted.

What you will bring:

  • Experience as a Corporate Account Handler or Senior Account Handler within commercial insurance
  • Strong knowledge of core commercial classes and experience with larger, more complex risks
  • Confidence dealing directly with insurers and corporate clients
  • A calm, organised approach during busy renewal periods
  • A stable career history within the insurance market
  • Many strong insurance professionals in Birmingham have built long tenures with their current broker. That profile is respected here. This move is not about risk for the sake of it. It is about scale, backing and technical development.

What is on offer:

  • Salary between £40,000 and £50,000 depending on experience
  • Exposure to large, structured corporate insurance programmes
  • Clear progression towards Senior Corporate Account Handler or Account Executive
  • A stable, well backed insurance platform in Birmingham
  • Comprehensive benefits package

Corporate insurance in Birmingham is competitive. The right Corporate Account Handler will be valued for their judgement, not just their output.

If you are a Corporate Account Handler in the Birmingham insurance market who would consider a confidential discussion, I am happy to speak discreetly.
