Build a commercial insurance portfolio from scratch, developing relationships with businesses across Staines-upon-Thames and the surrounding area, identifying opportunities and winning new clients through your own business development activity.

This is a new business-focused Development Executive opportunity with an established insurance broker in the Staines-upon-Thames area. You'll have the opportunity to develop your own client base, building a pipeline of prospects and turning those relationships into long-term commercial accounts. The role offers a basic salary of £50,000 to £60,000.

The opportunity

• Take responsibility for generating new commercial insurance business, building your own pipeline and developing a portfolio from the ground up.
• Identify and approach prospective clients, establishing relationships with business owners and decision-makers to understand their insurance requirements.
• Develop opportunities through prospecting, networking, referrals and your existing professional relationships.
• Manage the new business process from initial conversations through to proposals, negotiations and securing new clients.
• Work with broking colleagues and insurers to develop appropriate insurance solutions for prospective clients.
• Build lasting commercial relationships, creating opportunities for future growth, referrals and additional business.
• Focus primarily on winning new clients rather than servicing an inherited portfolio, allowing you to concentrate your efforts on business development.

Who would suit it?

• You'll have commercial insurance broking experience, with a strong understanding of how to generate and win new business.
• You'll be confident developing your own opportunities rather than relying entirely on incoming leads or an existing book of clients.
• You'll enjoy meeting business owners, understanding their risks and demonstrating the value of a well-structured insurance programme.
• You'll have the organisation and persistence to manage a prospect pipeline, maintain relationships and progress opportunities through to completion.
• You'll be commercially minded, comfortable working towards new business objectives and motivated by building something of your own.
• Existing business relationships around Staines-upon-Thames and the wider Surrey or West London market would be particularly useful.

The package

• Basic salary of £50,000 to £60,000, depending on experience.
