This broker’s specialist Independent & Private Schools Division has a dedicated team of circa 40 highly knowledgeable employees (across Sales, Account Management, Claims and Account Handling) who are regarded as some of the most gifted insurance professionals within this niche, looking after prestigious accounts in the sector. As part of one of the largest global brokers, this division benefits from the infrastructure and market presence that comes with being part of a much larger concern.
Whether you are currently in the Education insurance niche, or an SME, Middle-Market or Corporate Account Executive in general commercial, this is a superb opportunity to forge a career with a respected team in this fascinating sector. The role is based 100% from home (with optional local office check-ins) and requires you to be located in or around the Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire or surrounding counties area, inheriting a substantial portfolio of accounts.
Your clients will include prestigious private and independent schools, whose alumni include well-known names from business, sport, politics, and royalty. Most client visits will be face-to-face, although online meetings can also occur depending on client preference. This division has a specialist team of Business Development Executives, allowing your role to focus on managing existing accounts while collaborating to develop new business and explore opportunities for cross-selling ancillary services such as Risk Management.
You will develop a detailed understanding of your clients’ operations and exposures to risk, which can be more complex than those of many state schools. With assistance from colleagues, you will work with Underwriters from a select panel of insurers to design a robust insurance programme that mitigates risks at competitive premiums.
It is essential that you have previously worked in an Account Executive position and have an understanding of various commercial covers including Property and Liability / Commercial Combined insurance. You must be a confident, articulate communicator who can secure buy-in from diverse stakeholders. Additionally, you should be well-organised with excellent task-management skills, capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously.
In return, you will receive a generous basic salary (entirely negotiable) plus a company car, bonus, and a market-leading flexible benefits package that includes a 12% pension contribution. This global broker is well-known for promoting from within, offering opportunities to move into other positions within this division or elsewhere within the Group.
