There surely cannot be many better environments in Leeds for a relatively junior insurance professional to forward their career than this well respected broking house. This is evident from its culture of promoting from within and the fact that it designs bespoke personal development plans for all employees to ensure that their individual career goals are achieved.
You will manage a portfolio of clients with individual premium spends of up to £10K, including undertaking all renewal work, administering mid-term amendments and answering any general enquiries. You will also be expected to place new business cases on an ad-hoc basis. Other responsibilities include handling your own administration, ensuring all work is carried out in an accurate, timely and complaint fashion.
As you will be dealing with a range of covers such as Property, Liability, Commercial Combined and Packages, it is essential that you have prior knowledge of commercial insurance. This can be gained from a commercial broking, underwriting or claims background.
As this role sits within the busy Small Business Unit, it is essential that you have experience of working in a similar fast-paced environment where the ability to demonstrate a sense of pace and urgency without letting your standards slip, is key.
You must be a strong team-player, with excellent communication skills in order to forge strong relationships with colleagues, clients and Underwriters. You will also be meticulous in your approach and have a keen eye for detail.
Whilst this is by no means a sales role, we are particularly interested in hearing from those candidates with a flair for trading, who are quick to spot opportunities to cross and up sell ancillary products or seek new business referrals from existing clients.
This is a full time, permanent role (09:00-17:00, with one hour for lunch), that initially offers 25 days holiday per year, and then increases with service thereafter. Alongside a negotiable basic salary you will receive a comprehensive benefits package including life insurance, generous pension, and cycle to work & child care voucher schemes, as well as discounted cover for Critical Illness and Income Protection etc. You will receive support towards professional qualifications under the CII, and have your professional membership fees paid. Our client has also arranged free parking for all its employees.
