This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Account Executive to inherit a commercial book of business. This independent and financially secure brokerage is deeply committed to the Leeds market, and is very much ‘in growth mode’.
Having already made significant investment in the Leeds office through the appointment of quality hires, it is seeking an additional Commercial Account Executive to join its established team. You will assume control of a portfolio of commercial and corporate accounts, with clients being from a wide range of industry sectors. The exact make-up of this portfolio can be tweaked to suit your skills and experience and our client transacts business at all levels. However, it is fair to say that accounts generating brokerage between £7K-15K is its ‘bread and butter’.
Our client is well known for granting its Account Executives a great deal of autonomy, and is flexible in regards to working from home or the office, and the hours that you keep. In order to help you run your portfolio efficiently, you will benefit from working in close conjunction with a dedicated Commercial Broker who will help with the day to day administration of client accounts.
This broker takes a very pragmatic approach to account development, and recognises that burdening Account Executives with punitive new business targets is counter-productive. It therefore has very realistic expectations about how you will develop the account moving forward. To aid your new business endeavours, you will receive bespoke marketing support, as well as assistance from an in-house Contact Manager who will work in a lead generation and appointment setting capacity on your behalf.
In order to provide a high level of support to clients, you must have previous commercial broking experience and be au-fait with all common commercial lines, including Property, Liability, Fleet, Commercial Combined, Packages and Financial Lines. Progress made towards qualifications under the CII would add significant weight to your application.
In return, you will receive a market-leading basic salary, car allowance, generous benefits package, a bespoke bonus arrangement for account growth and new business generated, as well as support towards professional qualifications.
