Account Executive

The opportunity

A well established independent insurance broker is looking for an Account Executive to join its Hemel Hempstead office. This is a great move for someone with insurance experience who wants a career built around winning new business and growing their own client portfolio.

You don’t need to have come from a broking background. The client is open to people from any area of insurance (underwriting, claims, administration, account handling or elsewhere) as long as you have a genuine drive to learn, develop and succeed in a client facing role.

The role

• Generate and win new business, developing your own pipeline of clients.
• Build strong relationships with prospective and existing clients, understanding their needs and arranging the right cover.
• Manage the new business process from first enquiry through to placement.
• Work with insurers to negotiate terms and secure competitive quotes.
• Present options clearly to clients and support them through the buying process.
• Work with colleagues to deliver an excellent service and support renewals and retention.
• Keep accurate records and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.

About you

• Experience working in insurance, in any area. Your background is less important than your attitude and potential.
• An understanding of how to manage and progress new business opportunities.
• A motivated, ambitious approach and a real willingness to learn and develop.
• Strong communication and relationship building skills.
• Commercially minded, organised and comfortable working to targets
• CII qualifications are a bonus but not essential, and support to study is available

What’s on offer

• A competitive salary, tailored to your experience
• Commission, so your results are rewarded
• A competitive benefits package
• Training and career development within a growing business
• A supportive team and a clear route to progress
