This is a superb opportunity to join one of the industry’s best-known global brokers; a firm that has been long-established in Leeds and has one of the largest portions of the local market share.

The exact make-up of this portfolio can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and ambitions, with individual risks generating anywhere between £5,000 - £50,000 in commission and fee income. Likewise, the size of the portfolio to be inherited can vary significantly, suffice to say it will be ‘well into six-figure income territory’. Clients can be from a range of industry sectors, from tech’ and the professions, through to higher liability trades like haulage, manufacturing and engineering.

You will be tasked with the retention and development of your account, but it must be stressed that the majority of growth can be quite simply achieved through ‘easy wins’ – using this broker’s vast network of specialist teams to promote a range of ancillary covers and services such as credit insurance, risk management and claims consulting. Taking the lead on managing your portfolio, you will be assisted by a dedicated team of Corporate Account Handlers and Brokers who will assist you in designing a robust insurance programme that continually reflects clients’ exposures to risks and a fast-moving market. For example, you will oversee the strategy surrounding renewals, insurer negotiations. and the preparation of a variety of reports and MI.

As well as experienced Commercial and Corporate Account Executives, we welcome applications from those Account Handlers who are ready to take the step into a client-facing position. It is essential that you have a detailed knowledge of all common commercial covers such as Property, Liability, Motor, Directors’ and Officers’ and Professional Indemnity. You must have strong internal networking skills in order to build relationships across the businesses’ specialist teams. You must also be well-organised, with strong task-management skills and a keen eye for detail.

In return, you will receive a generous basic salary and a market-leading flexible benefits package that includes an impressive pension arrangement and a bonus that is awarded on both business and personal performance. For the ambitious, multiple examples can be provided of colleagues who have joined in a similar capacity in Leeds and progressed into a myriad of different roles (such as management, specialist teams etc) locally, nationally and overseas!

Our client is a long standing advocate of hybrid-working, and it is envisioned that your working week will be split between working from home, attending the office and visiting clients and insurers etc.
