Acquisitions & Growth Specialist

Job description

At IDEX, we're looking for an experienced insurance professional to join our growing Client Solutions team as an Acquisitions & Growth Specialist.

This is a unique opportunity for someone with a strong network across the General Insurance market who is passionate about building relationships, identifying opportunities and supporting brokers throughout their growth journey.

Working alongside our Client Solutions Director and Regional Leadership teams, you'll be instrumental in identifying acquisition opportunities, developing long-term relationships with brokers and connecting buyers and sellers across the UK insurance market. This is far more than a business development role - it's an opportunity to become a trusted advisor to insurance businesses and play a key role in shaping the future of the sector.

What you'll be doing

  • Build and nurture relationships with Insurance Brokers, MGAs and industry leaders across the UK.
  • Identify and cultivate acquisition opportunities, managing prospects from initial introduction through to completion.
  • Develop and maintain a strong pipeline of acquisition and growth opportunities.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to brokers, supporting conversations around succession planning, growth strategies and future ambitions.
  • Build long-term relationships with both buyers and sellers, ensuring exceptional client experience throughout the deal lifecycle.
  • Work closely with our Client Solutions Director, Regional Managers and recruitment teams to identify opportunities and maximise market intelligence.
  • Represent IDEX at industry events and continue to strengthen our reputation as the market-leading partner for acquisitions and growth.

About You

  • Significant experience within the UK General Insurance market and enjoy building genuine, long-lasting relationships.
  • A strong commercial mindset and natural networking ability.
  • Experience managing complex stakeholder relationships.
  • Excellent negotiation and influencing skills.
  • The ability to identify opportunities and convert relationships into successful outcomes.
  • A proactive and highly organised approach to pipeline management.

You'll likely come from one of the following backgrounds:

  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Insurance Broking
  • MGA Development
  • Network Development
  • Insurer Business Development
  • Strategic Partnerships

Why Join IDEX?

At IDEX, we've built one of the UK's most respected brands within insurance recruitment and client solutions. Our reputation, relationships and market insight provide a platform that allows our people to genuinely influence the future of the industry.

Joining us means you'll benefit from:

  • The opportunity to shape a specialist growth function.
  • Access to an extensive network of brokers, insurers and industry leaders.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where ideas are encouraged.
  • The autonomy to build relationships and make a genuine commercial impact.
  • The chance to work alongside some of the most experienced professionals in the insurance market.
