Most Sales Director roles in the London insurance market talk about growth. Few actually give you the platform to deliver it.

This one does.

You'll be stepping into a Sales Director role with real substance. A team of 10 experienced Development Executives is already in place. The expectation isn't to steady the ship. It's to lead from the front, sharpen performance, and still win business yourself in the London insurance market.

This is a confidential appointment with an established insurance business that has strong foundations but wants more from its sales function. They need a Sales Director who can raise standards, create momentum, and personally drive revenue.

You'll lead, but you won't sit back. If you enjoy being in front of clients, opening doors and converting opportunities, this will suit you.

As Sales Director in London, you'll take ownership of both team performance and your own portfolio. The balance matters. You'll be expected to develop your people while continuing to build and maintain your own client base within the insurance sector.

Key responsibilities:

• 
  

  Lead, develop and performance manage a team of 10+ Development Executives

• 
  

  Set clear direction and standards across the London insurance sales function

• 
  

  Personally win and retain clients within the insurance market

• 
  

  Drive new business activity while improving conversion and retention rates

• 
  

  Strengthen broker and client relationships across the London insurance market

• 
  

  Work closely with senior leadership to shape and deliver commercial strategy

What they're looking for:

• 
  

  Proven experience as a Sales Director or senior leader within insurance

• 
  

  Strong track record of winning and developing insurance clients personally

• 
  

  Experience managing and improving the performance of a sizeable sales team

• 
  

  Deep understanding of the London insurance market and how to navigate it

• 
  

  Credible, hands-on leadership style with high personal standards

• 
  

  Commercial judgement. You know what good business looks like

What you'll get in return:

• 
  

  A genuine leadership role with a team already in place

• 
  

  The autonomy to shape how sales is delivered in a growing insurance business

• 
  

  A platform to build both team success and your own book in London

• 
  

  Direct exposure to senior decision makers

• 
  

  A role that balances leadership with real market engagement

This is a Sales Director role for someone who still enjoys the chase but wants broader influence.

If you're in the London insurance market and feel underutilised, this is worth a conversation.
