Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire
Account Executive - High Value Rural Portfolio A rare opportunity has arisen within one of the UK's most respected specialist insurance offices, based in Charlbury. The office is regarded as one of the strongest in the country, serving a private client and estates portfolio of exceptional quality. This role operates at the very top end of estates and private client advisory work. You will manage relationships with individuals, families and estates of significant wealth and influence, where discretion, judgement and continuity of advice are essential. These are long-standing clients, often with complex, multi-generational arrangements and wider business interests extending into London and beyond. This is not transactional broking. It is trusted advisory work, carried out at the highest level. You will work alongside experienced, well-regarded colleagues in an office known for its standards, professionalism and culture. It is a calm, grown-up environment where people are trusted to do their job properly and relationships are built over time. Networking is part of the role, but it is purposeful rather than performative. You will operate within the very best professional circles, alongside leading advisers, agents and decision-makers, in settings where reputation matters and credibility is assumed. This opportunity may suit an experienced Insurance Account Executive operating at the top end of private client or estate work. It may equally appeal to a senior rural professional, such as an Estate Manager or Rural Agent, who already advises clients at this level and is seeking a long-term advisory role. This is not a stepping stone. It is a destination. For a confidential conversation, please contact Green Barks Search . All enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
