Commercial Account Executive

Prestigious Independent Broker

JH-3176

West Yorkshire

Salary negotiable, plus lucrative bonus

We are extremely proud to be representing one of Yorkshire’s truly independent insurance brokers, which is seeking a talented Account Executive to join its expanding team.

This position has arisen due to a variety of reasons – incumbent Account Executives hitting capacity with their current books and not being able to service additional new business enquiries, and other Account Executives nearing retirement.

This business is a huge success story and has opened 6 new offices over the last 5 years in the North of England.

Known very much for its quality, integrity and professionalism, this broker holds ‘trusted advisor’ status with its discerning client base and takes great pride in providing the highest levels of service.

“Our reputation means everything to us, and we play with a straight bat”, says the Broking Director. “We are also the antidote to the consolidators, and we empower our Account Executives, who are free from dictatorial placement strategies”.

Indeed, this is an extremely refreshing place to work. The company has zero debt and is cash rich. As such, all of its growth is fuelled with its own money, which makes for a less stressful environment for its Account Executives. “Compared to many of our competitors, we have a lot more corporate patience here”, says the hiring manager.

Crucially, we want to stress that this is not a dead-end Account Executive role. The Director is keen to tell us that, “they always have one eye on succession planning”, and as the business grows (both organically, and via strategic acquisitions), a myriad of opportunities continue to become available, both in a leadership or technical capacity.

There is business to inherit at this company, but respectfully, this broker introduces its valued clients to its new Account Executives in a careful and considered fashion, with meaningful handover periods. During this time, you will also have access to regular leads that come into the business from its impressive range of introducers. Interestingly, the Director tells us that they are at the point where current Account Executives are having to turn down new business enquiries, making this an opportune time for a new Account Executive to join the team.

We are interested in high calibre Account Executives from a range of different backgrounds. You might be a seasoned Account Executive with a loyal client following, who is looking for an extremely credible business in which to enjoy the rest of your career. Alternatively, you could be a Corporate Broker, with strong client-management skills, and looking for your first Account Executive opportunity. Perhaps you are an Account Executive who is ultimately wanting something more in the future, and you are motivated to join a broker where there are real opportunities to progress into management and beyond.

You’ll be rewarded with a generous salary, commensurate with your experience. In addition, you’ll benefit from a lucrative performance-related bonus scheme, a 5% Christmas bonus, and a benefits package that is akin to that of a global organisation (including large pension contributions).
