Description

Most Account Executive roles talk about growth. Few actually give you the environment to deliver it properly.

This Account Executive opportunity in West Sussex is different. You'll inherit a well-managed book, a steady pipeline, and the kind of internal support that lets you focus on clients rather than firefighting. It's an insurance role built around doing the job properly, not just hitting short-term numbers.

You'll be joining an established insurance broker with a strong presence across the South. In West Sussex, they've built a reputation for sensible, long-term client relationships rather than transactional wins. That matters, because your job as an Account Executive here is to develop and retain business in a way that actually sticks.

This is a role for someone who understands the value of credibility in the insurance market. You're not just there to sell. You're there to advise, structure and build trust over time.

 

What you'll be doing:


  • Managing and developing a portfolio of commercial insurance clients in West Sussex
  • Building strong, long-term relationships with business owners and decision-makers
  • Identifying opportunities to grow accounts through cross-sell and strategic advice
  • Working closely with Account Handlers to ensure smooth delivery and service
  • Leading renewal discussions and negotiating with insurers
  • Generating new business through referrals, networking and existing connections

 

What they're looking for:


  • Experience as an Account Executive, or a senior Account Handler ready to step up
  • Solid grounding in commercial insurance
  • Confidence dealing with clients face-to-face in West Sussex
  • Ability to win trust and retain business over the long term
  • A measured, professional approach rather than a hard-sell style
  • Good awareness of the regional insurance market

 

What's on offer:


  • Salary between £55,000 - £75,000 depending on experience
  • Bonus/commission structure that rewards sustainable growth
  • A balanced book of business to build from in West Sussex
  • Strong internal broking and claims support
  • Flexibility in how you manage your time and clients
  • Long-term career stability within a respected insurance firm

 

This Account Executive role in West Sussex will suit someone who takes pride in doing the job well. Someone who values proper client relationships over quick wins, and who wants to operate in an insurance environment that reflects that.

If you're currently an Account Executive feeling boxed in, or a senior handler ready for that move, this is a chance to step into a more considered, better supported role in West Sussex without unnecessary noise.
