Job Overview
Is there a role to rival ‘miscellaneous corporate broking’ in terms of both complexity and variety in the regional broking market?
Our client could be a Local Authority with tens of millions of pounds worth of art hanging on the walls of the town hall, a University with a patent on cutting-edge technology, a fire service needing Airside Liability to respond to aviation disasters, or a police authority with safe houses and covert motor fleets that are so secret that their insurers can’t know even the most basic details.
Having enjoyed year on year double-digit growth for a decade, this firm is clearly on an impressive growth trajectory. Indeed, this role has come about due to the acquisition of quality accounts.
Here, you will work with some of the most talented insurance professionals in the market, dealing with some truly fascinating clients – including some of the biggest police authorities and fire services in the UK, as well as many of the country’s preeminent University Procurement Groups. Your clients will be demanding, yet sophisticated, risk-savvy insurance buyers, who are often committed to LTAs.
Responsibilities
1. Build a detailed understanding of your clients’ organisations and their exposures to risk.
2. Create innovative solutions to mitigate gaps in cover.
3. Negotiate with insurers to obtain comprehensive cover at competitive premiums.
4. Visit clients’ various premises alongside Account Directors and attend various industry events.
Qualifications
It is essential that you have a good all-round knowledge of common commercial covers such as Property, Liability, Fleet, and Financial Lines. You must also be well-organised with excellent task-management skills, and you will pride yourself on your attention to detail. Just as importantly, you’ll be highly professional in your demeanour, with the ability to build rapport with senior personnel from very well-known organisations.
Working Arrangements
Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work from home 3 days a week. For outstanding candidates with exposure to relevant risks, there is scope to be fully home-based, requiring you to only check into the office once a month.
Career Progression
When describing opportunities for progression, the hiring manager says, “here, you are the CEO of your own career. Whether you want to remain as an Account Handler, specialise in a niche, become a manager, or develop into an Account Executive, we’ll give you all the help and support you need to realise your ambitions.”
Experience
We are open to Account Handlers with just a few years’ commercial experience, through to highly seasoned Corporate Account Handlers.
Compensation
You will receive a generous basic salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including support towards professional qualifications under the Chartered Insurance Institute.
