The Role
Introduction to NFU Mutual
NFU Mutual offers a wide range of products and services, including general insurance, life, pensions and investments and has been providing quality insurance for its customers for over 110 years. We carefully balance delivering excellent service to our customers whilst ensuring the business is run effectively. As a mutual, supporting our customers and paying their claims comes first. We are a top ten UK insurance company and the UK’s largest rural insurer, with an agency network of over 250 local offices.
About the Agency
As a local agency of NFU Mutual, we deliver a first-class service and sell their product range across our region to customers old and new, who are at the core of everything we do. We are a business where honesty, integrity, and trust are at the heart of our values. We champion the personal approach to customer service that NFU Mutual is famous for.
An exciting opportunity has now arisen within the North Dorset Agency. This is a great opportunity to join a well-established company with a tight-knit team and supportive workplace culture.
The Role
As an office-based Commercial Account Executive, you will play a crucial role in driving the business forward by developing new client relationships and maintaining a strong portfolio of existing accounts. You’ll work closely with clients to understand their insurance needs, providing them with tailored solutions. Your focus will be on building long-term partnerships, ensuring client satisfaction, and contributing to the continued growth of the business. This is a role at NFU Mutual in our Sturminster Newton office where your commercial acumen and relationship-building skills will be crucial.
This role offers the opportunity to join a team with inbound leads, and our current clients to look for further opportunities.
There is plenty of scope for professional growth within the business, with in-house training and ongoing training and qualifications for those looking to expand their expertise.
The Requirements
* Proven experience in a commercial insurance environment, as either an Account Executive or Account Manager.
* Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to manage and grow a portfolio of clients. A proactive approach to identifying new business opportunities is essential, and a meticulous approach to maximising existing business.
* In-depth knowledge of the commercial insurance market and a solid understanding of various industry sectors.
* Equivalent to Grade C in GCSE English, Maths, and Science.

Please note you will be employed by an Agent of NFU Mutual and not NFU Mutual directly.
Whatever your role, as a key member of your agency team, you’ll enjoy the chance to develop your insurance industry knowledge and skills and build a rewarding career. For most roles, you won’t necessarily need an insurance background. It’s more about your personal qualities – your ability to learn quickly, develop strong working relationships with a range of different people, and give customers excellent service, with trusted advice and products.
Bring these qualities and you’ll be supported with a full range of training and development opportunities so you can build the career you want. These include the chance to gain an apprenticeship, as well as support to study for professional qualifications and full training in all aspects of the insurance industry.
