This Account Director Team Leader opportunity offers a basic salary of up to £90,000, a performance-related bonus of up to 15% and a home-based working arrangement for someone living in the South of England.

You'll inherit an established portfolio of four major clients generating approximately £500,000-£600,000 in annual income, with individual accounts producing £80,000 or more. The majority of clients are based across London and the Home Counties, with an expectation that you'll spend around two days per week meeting clients and maintaining those relationships.

• Established portfolio: Inherit four significant client relationships, generating approximately £500,000-£600,000 in annual income.
• Major account responsibility: Manage clients producing £80,000 or more in annual income, with complex insurance requirements and important long-term relationships.
• Social Housing specialism: Work with housing organisations and their insurance programmes, drawing on specialist knowledge of property and corporate risks.
