Based out of the West Sussex branch, you'll focus purely on new business generation, supported by experienced internal teams and a well-established market presence.



The Role

  • Work closely with Account Executives and internal broking teams to ensure smooth onboarding


  • Build lasting relationships with clients, insurers, and introducers


  • Achieve and exceed new business and income targets




About You




  • Proven experience in a Development Executive / New Business role within commercial insurance


  • Strong understanding of commercial insurance products and the UK market


  • Confident, proactive, and comfortable operating in a target-driven environment


  • A natural relationship builder with strong presentation and negotiation skills


  • ACII qualified or working towards (beneficial, not essential)




What's On Offer




  • £50,000 - £60,000 basic salary


  • Attractive bonus structure linked to new business performance


  • Support, infrastructure, and insurer access of a national brokerage


  • Clear route to progress into a senior Development or Account Executive role


  • Supportive West Sussex branch environment


  • Hybrid working and an adult, professional culture




If you're looking for a pure new business role with strong earning potential and long-term career progression, this is a great opportunity to explore.
