This independent broker is well-known for committing to providing clearly-defined progression to all of its staff. This role offers the opportunity to pursue a management route, specialize in a specific industry vertical, or progress into a client-facing Account Executive role. Alternatively, you may choose to remain as an Account Handler for the longer-term, with support to stay engaged and motivated.
Having traded for over 30 years, this broker boasts a large and longstanding portfolio of clients ranging from sub £5,000 SME cases to corporate cases with complex global exposures with premium spends in excess of £500,000. The primary focus is on cases paying between £50,000 and £100,000 GWP.
The role can be tailored to suit your skills, experience, and motivations. You will be allocated clients that match your technical ambitions, whether dealing with complex clients or specific risk types. If you aspire to become an Account Executive, you will start by accompanying a Director on client visits and managing a small portfolio of accounts as a 'Desk-Top Account Exec.'
It is essential to have a good understanding of commercial insurance, which can be gained through broking, underwriting, or claims experience. You must be an excellent team player who enjoys working towards shared goals. Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with diverse individuals are crucial. Knowledge of the Acturis broking platform is ideal, but not essential.
This firm is based in North Leeds with ample parking and close to major public transport routes. You will also be welcome to work from home several days per week.
In return, you will receive a generous basic salary anticipated to be in the region of £35,000 - £45,000, completely negotiable for outstanding candidates. As you assume increased responsibility, your salary will increase accordingly. You will also receive an impressive array of company benefits.
