Account Executive

Take ownership of an established commercial insurance portfolio that will grow as more clients are transferred across to you. You'll start with approximately £100,000 in annual brokerage income, with further accounts introduced progressively as an existing Account Executive moves into a new business-focused role.

This is an opportunity with an established commercial insurance broker in Central London, close to Euston. You'll be joining an experienced team handling a broad range of commercial clients, with a slight emphasis on construction. The role offers a relaxed, flexible approach to office attendance, typically just one or two days per month.

The opportunity

• Inherit an initial portfolio generating approximately £100,000 in annual brokerage income, with further clients transferred to you over time.
• Take responsibility for managing and developing established commercial insurance relationships, getting to know the clients and understanding their insurance requirements.
• Work with accounts generating between £5,000 and £100,000 in annual brokerage income, giving you exposure to a varied range of commercial businesses and insurance programmes.
• Handle a broad mix of commercial insurance risks, with a slight weighting towards construction rather than a requirement to specialise exclusively in that sector.
• Lead client meetings, review insurance arrangements and work with broking colleagues and insurers to secure appropriate coverage and renewal terms.
• Work closely with an experienced London team, including Account Executives, Account Managers and Account Handlers, ensuring clients receive a consistent standard of service.
• Build on existing relationships, identifying opportunities to develop accounts and win back former clients where appropriate.
• Join a business where internal progression has created the vacancy, with the opportunity to establish yourself as an important part of the corporate and commercial team.

Who would suit it?

• You'll have a strong commercial insurance broking background, with experience managing client relationships as an Account Executive or in a comparable client-facing role.
• You'll be comfortable handling a range of commercial risks, including larger and more involved accounts requiring sound technical knowledge.
• You'll enjoy developing relationships with existing clients, understanding their businesses and providing dependable insurance advice.
• You'll be confident working with broking and servicing colleagues, managing renewal discussions and ensuring client requirements are properly addressed.
• Experience with construction risks would be useful, but a strong general commercial insurance background is equally relevant.
• You'll appreciate a flexible working environment where the focus is on looking after clients and delivering results rather than spending unnecessary time in the office.

The package

• Basic salary around £80,000.
