Insurance Account Executive

Looking for a role where relationships come first?

An incredibly exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Insurance Account Executive to inherit an established portfolio of commercial clients within a highly respected insurance broker in West Sussex.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building long-term client relationships rather than chasing cold leads. You'll inherit a well-established book of business from day one, giving you the platform to focus on delivering exceptional advice, retaining clients and identifying opportunities for growth.

Whether you're an experienced Account Executive looking for your next challenge, an Account Handler ready to step up into an Executive role or you're currently working for an insurer and keen to move into the broker market, we'd love to hear from you!

The opportunity

Working with a portfolio of mid-corporate clients, you'll become a trusted adviser, providing strategic insurance solutions and exceptional service throughout the client lifecycle.

Alongside a broad range of commercial insurance risks, our client base has a strong presence within the construction sector, so experience in construction insurance would be highly desirable. However, we are equally interested in speaking with talented commercial insurance professionals from a broad range of industry backgrounds who can demonstrate strong relationship management skills and a consultative approach.

What you will be doing?

• Inherit and manage an established portfolio of commercial clients.
• Build trusted, long-term relationships, becoming the first point of contact for your clients.
• Manage the renewal process from start to finish, negotiating the best outcomes and ensuring clients remain appropriately protected.
• Identify opportunities to grow your portfolio through cross-selling, upselling and new business introductions.
• Work closely with insurer partners to secure competitive and bespoke insurance solutions.
• Visit clients when required, developing a thorough understanding of their businesses and risk exposures.
• Resolve client queries efficiently while maintaining exceptional levels of service.
• Manage credit control matters and support the smooth administration of your client portfolio.

About you

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people and maintaining long-standing relationships as much as they enjoy working with insurance.

• Experience within insurance industry in either a broker or insurer environment.
• Previous experience managing client relationships or a portfolio of commercial clients is highly desirable.
• Construction insurance experience would be highly advantageous, although candidates from wider commercial insurance backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
• A solid understanding of commercial insurance products and the wider insurance market.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Strong organisational skills with great attention to detail.

Benefits

An excellent salary plus working 2 days in the office and 3 days from home, you will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, wellbeing and lifestyle. Alongside generous annual leave, pension, life assurance, income protection, a health cash plan and an Employee Assistance Programme, you will have access to a flexible benefits platform, allowing you to tailor your package with many more options and a wide range of employee discounts.

This is a business where expertise, collaboration and innovation go hand in hand. You’ll be part of a team that values your ideas, supports your growth and gives you the space to build a career you’re proud of.

Why apply?

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, technically strong team where you'll be trusted to manage your own portfolio, develop meaningful client relationships and continue building your career within a supportive environment. If you're looking for a role where you can inherit a quality book of business, work with established commercial clients and become a genuine trusted adviser, we'd love to hear from you.
