Corporate Account Executive

Job description

As a Commercial/Corporate Account Executive, you crave more autonomy, a voice in the business and opportunity to make things happen. You haven't got time to wait for your Manager to get sign off from their boss, and then further sign off from the CEO just to make a simple decision.

If you can relate to the above, we have an exceptional opportunity to inherit a £150k income account to join the perfect sized Corporate Insurance Broker, a top 10 Independent Brokerage in the UK with a particular International flair

Reporting out of their offices in Surrey, you'll have a gradual handover, no departing Account Executive, meaning your clients will be under-attack year 2.

Good sized, corporate clients, the sort of sizes the national Brokers handle but you'll be part of a smaller, more collaborative business

You'll spend 80% of your time with existing clients, adding value, providing a consultative service and 20% of your time driving organic growth, building your pipeline and using the resources around you to grow your account to £400k+ in 5 years time.

Salary package up to £85,000

Seems to be too good to be true, but there's no hidden catches!

As an Account Executive, there's pro's and con's working for both National and small independent Brokers.

National's have the presence in the market, the name above the door, markets to place all sorts of business. Some of the larger firms are great at employee engagement, but we often hear from some people that they feel as if they are a 'number on a spreadsheet' or a 'small cog in a large machine'.

You may consider working for a family owned, small Insurance Broker but you may be worried about the lack of markets and tools at your disposal. Your broking support may be non-existent and you'll have to help out with MTAs, renewals and general administration.

As someone who mostly enjoys being out there spending time with your clients, does this part of the job really interest you? Probably not.

If you're open for a change but can't decide which route to go down, we have the perfect solution.

Why not join this large, reputable Independent Corporate Insurance Broker with enough firepower to compete with the nationals, but small enough to make you feel like you are working for a family owned business where you feel valued and are able to make an impact.

Inheriting an established portfolio of mid-market, corporate sized business currently sitting at around £150,000 in income.

Offices based in Surrey (Redhill) but they will consider individuals anywhere across the South East

Their sweet spot client's pay £10k - £50k in commission/income for their Insurance programmes. We are talking large, lucrative clients within the following sectors… Hospitality (Well-known chains), Technology, Manufacturing, Property Owners, Aerospace & Food & Drink amongst many others. Even more impressively is their quote to conversation rate which is 82%.

Many of their Senior Account Directors are at full capacity (Controlling £400k+ books) therefore the business will create a ready-made book to start you on your journey.

This firm are 100% not a 'hire and fire' business, as long as you show good will & dedication in your first year it doesn't really matter if you do not wash your face year 1. Targets generally kick in year 2 when you are able to prospect and win back old clients.

Whilst you wait for this to kick in, you'll receive various leads & clients that will be passed down to you from the multinational division. You won't be left to your own devices, you'll be fully supported by an exceptional broking team, claims services and admin division.

This Account Executive position isn't available to replace someone, this is a unique opportunity to join a business who very rarely recruit due to low staff turnover.

On offer is a best in class salary £60,000 - £85,000 + car allowance + benefits and flexi-home working

We are looking to talk to Account Executive's who take pride in the advice they provide their clients. Being price competitive is important, but we are really looking for someone who can back themselves in front of a client and able to present the best solution.

This opportunity won't be around for long, if open to talking to find out a little more please apply or enquire.

Oh and your job title will be Client Director. No CV? No problem, simply enquire for more information and we will talk you through next steps and help you build a profile if you would like to take it further.
