Following a recent internal promotion, a new opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Account Handler to work for this highly prestigious insurance broker based in Peterborough.
This is a world-leading brokerage, which is well-renowned for its first-class service, comprehensive offering, and its unrivalled career-development opportunities.
You’ll be working within a close-knit office of 15 people, whilst having access to all the resources of this leading global business.
In this varied role, you will work closely with Account Executives to help service a portfolio of commercial accounts. These accounts can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and interests, and you’ll have access to a wide range of industry sectors. Equally, the complexity of accounts can be tailored for you, and there are a wide variety of risks paying fee and commission income from £1,500 and up to circa £150K. Your duties will include, but not be limited to, handling renewals, providing quotations, processing mid-term adjustments, and dealing with day-to-day client enquiries. Should you wish to do so, you’ll also have the opportunity to attend client visits alongside Account Executives.
“In terms of an insurance career, the world really is your oyster here. We are happy for someone who wants to remain as an Account Handler, or just as happy for someone who wants to progress right through the ranks of our company and exploit all the opportunities that we have to offer”, says the Manager. They went on to tell us how people have progressed from this role into many different areas, such as Risk Management, HR, Quality, Corporate and Leadership. In fact, the Branch Manger originally joined in this Account Handler role, which is a great testament to the progression on offer here.
It is essential that you have previous insurance experience, ideally within commercial insurance, although our client is flexible on this given their in-house training and development programme. Crucially, you’ll be a team player, with strong organisation and communication skills, together with the ability to liaise effectively with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
You’ll enjoy working within an office that has a superb team culture. You’ll also have access to a wide range of local amenities, as well as free parking, and a short walk to the local train station.
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (negotiable, depending on experience), together with an industry leading benefits package, which includes substantial pension contributions.
The company operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work from home a couple of days a week, should you so wish.
