Commercial Insurance Account Executive
Job Location
Gloucester, United Kingdom
Job Description
We are currently recruiting for an independent, family-owned Insurance broker in Gloucester with impressive long-term growth plans, who are keen to expand their team with the appointment of a commercially astute Commercial Account Executive.
This role will be perfect for you if you have already established your own loyal book of business but want to escape a big company and move to an owner-managed business where you can truly make your mark as a key component of the business and be part of their future.
The business has grown significantly over the last few years through recruitment, acquisitions of other companies and most importantly due to more and more businesses and individuals entrusting them with their insurance requirements because of the level of service and expertise they offer.
They now employ over 25 people in their team of friendly and very knowledgeable insurance brokers in Gloucester. They invest heavily in the training and development of their team and encourage them to study for the Chartered Institute of Insurance qualifications. Despite the rapid growth of the business and the changes in the way insurance is transacted, the ethos of the business continues to be the same as it was when it was established.
You will be responsible for dealing with standard SME to mid-market business - £5k to £100k premiums throughout the Southwest, though they are also happy to talk to someone who has a particular niche, but they would need to check they have the markets to support you! As such you will need to be happy to get in the car and go and see people throughout the region! You will also be tasked with getting out the office and networking locally (the board of directors will introduce you to their circle of contacts!). You will also be asked to take over some existing accounts too.
Full Account Handling support will be provided, but you will need to have a plan as to how you will generate new business in year 1 whilst under covenant. There will be some marketing support, but you will have to want to generate your own pipeline too!
In order to be considered for this role, you will need to have at least five years commercial insurance experience in a customer facing role. Hold the Dip CII qualification or have your Cert CII and be willing to study towards your DIP. You will also need to be confident in dealing with incoming new business enquiries over the phone, by email and face-to-face and of course confident in dealing with all major classes of commercial insurance – property, business interruption, liabilities, motor, professional indemnity, etc. Experience of using Acturis would also be a bonus as they are moving onto Acturis in the next couple of months!
On offer is a basic salary of £40-60k depending on experience and track record, plus car allowance and bonuses!
Office hours are Monday to Friday – 9.00am to 5pm
Hybrid working is available, being in the office for a couple of days a week minimum, at least to start with.
