Account Executive (Education)

An established insurance broker is looking to appoint an experienced Account Executive to join its specialist Education division. This is a predominantly home-based opportunity offering the chance to inherit an established portfolio generating in excess of £100,000 income, with a clear focus on retaining, developing and growing the existing book. Travel will be required for client meetings and occasional office visits as needed.
The role will involve managing and developing relationships with a portfolio of education sector clients, predominantly independent schools, whilst identifying opportunities to increase revenue and secure new business. You will inherit existing client relationships and act as a trusted advisor, leading renewal discussions, conducting insurance reviews and providing tailored risk management and insurance solutions.
Working closely with internal broking, claims and insurer partners, you will be responsible for delivering exceptional client service, negotiating competitive terms and overseeing complex renewal programmes. Premiums typically range from £10,000 to £200,000, making this an excellent opportunity for an individual who enjoys handling more technical commercial risks and building long-term relationships with key decision-makers.
Applicants should have a minimum of five years’ commercial insurance experience, a proven track record of managing, retaining and developing client portfolios, and strong technical commercial insurance knowledge. Previous education sector experience would be advantageous, but candidates from a wider commercial, corporate or mid-market insurance background will also be considered, particularly those with experience handling complex risks and larger premium cases.
This opportunity would suit a relationship-focused Account Executive who wants the security of inheriting an established portfolio while retaining the autonomy to grow and develop their own book of business within a specialist and highly regarded sector. A competitive salary and benefits package is available, alongside the flexibility of a predominantly remote working arrangement.
