Account Director - Commercial

Stride Resource Management

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

  • As an Account Director in this London-based insurance firm, you'll take ownership of both clients and people:
  • Managing a large portfolio of commercial insurance clients
  • Building deeper relationships with key clients across London
  • Overseeing renewals, strategy, and long-term account development
  • Leading and mentoring a small team of junior Account Executives
  • Supporting their development while maintaining standards
  • Working closely with senior leadership on client strategy and growth
  • Engaging with insurers to secure strong, sustainable outcomes
  • This is a visible role within the London insurance business. You'll be expected to lead from the front.

What they're looking for

  • They want an Account Director who is credible in the insurance market and comfortable leading others:
  • Strong experience as an Account Executive or Account Director within insurance
  • Proven ability to manage large, complex commercial clients
  • Experience mentoring or managing junior team members
  • Confident dealing with senior stakeholders, both internally and externally
  • Strong commercial awareness within the insurance space
  • Someone who takes ownership and sets the tone
  • If you're already acting as a senior figure in your current insurance role but without the title or backing, this is the step up.

What's in it for you

  • This Account Director role in London offers substance, not just a title:
  • Salary up to £85,000 depending on experience
  • Bonus linked to portfolio performance and team contribution
  • Large, established book of clients from day one
  • Leadership responsibility with support from senior management
  • A stable, well-regarded insurance broker in London
  • Real influence over how business is managed and grown

The culture

  • This is a grown-up London insurance business. No unnecessary noise, no inflated egos.
  • People are trusted to do their job. Senior individuals are expected to lead properly, not just manage upwards.
  • You'll be part of a team that understands insurance and values experience, consistency, and straight talking.
