You don't get many Account Director roles in insurance that come with a proper book and genuine leadership responsibility from day one.

This one does.

This Account Director position in London offers a large, established portfolio and the opportunity to manage and develop a small team of junior Account Executives. It's a role for someone who enjoys both the client side and the people side of insurance, without being pulled too far in either direction.

If you've built a book and want to step into a more influential role in a London insurance business, this is a logical move.

What you'll be doing
