Job description

Managing Director – Insurance Broking (Founder-Level)

Location: South East (Hybrid / Flexible)

A founder level opportunity for an entrepreneurial Managing Director to build and scale a new UK insurance brokerage from launch through to a potential seven figure exit. Backed by experienced insurance entrepreneurs with successful brokerage exits, the role offers significant autonomy, meaningful equity, and a mandate to create enterprise value.

The Opportunity

The Managing Director will lead the business from day one, shaping strategy, driving growth, and establishing a scalable, acquisition ready brokerage. Investors provide strategic guidance while granting full operational control, supported by deep expertise in valuation, insurer relationships, and exit mechanics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead business development, client acquisition, and insurer negotiations
  • Build the initial revenue base and core client relationships
  • Develop and execute a growth strategy aligned with consolidator criteria
  • Hold full P&L responsibility and drive EBITDA discipline
  • Implement MI and reporting frameworks suitable for future exit
  • Oversee FCA regulatory responsibilities and governance
  • Recruit and develop a lean, high quality team

Candidate Profile

  • Senior leadership experience in UK insurance broking
  • Strong FCA regulatory and operational knowledge
  • P&L responsibility for a business, division, or substantial book

Preferred

  • Experience in a brokerage sale or consolidator acquisition
  • Understanding of valuation drivers and scalability
  • Established insurer and market relationships

Attributes

  • Entrepreneurial, resilient, commercially driven
  • Thrives in a start up environment with personal accountability
  • Motivated by equity and long term value creation
  • Credible with insurers, staff, and potential acquirers

Reward & Upside

  • Performance linked bonus
  • Meaningful equity with genuine seven figure exit potential
  • Strong alignment between personal reward and shareholder value

Equity structure and exit mechanics will be discussed with shortlisted candidates. Salary will depend on if you are personally investing from Day 1. You can choose not to and the package can be agreed - for example, you would receive a 20% shareholding on Day 1 with further allocations on the attainment of targets. As our client would like there to be a sharing of risk it can be achieved by your salary reducing in the short term to incentivise success from its employment level. (Possibly £60,000 - £75,000)
