Description

This role is for a commercial insurance producer who wants a stronger platform, a wider market proposition and the kind of backing that makes larger cases easier to open and close. If you are already operating at Development Executive level, or you are a high-performing new business producer ready for a bigger stage, this is the sort of move that can materially improve both your market access and your earnings.

The business is a national insurance broker with a strong presence across the South East. That matters, but not for logo value alone. It matters because it gives you access to recognised insurer relationships, technical support, credibility in front of clients and the infrastructure needed to compete for larger commercial insurance accounts without doing everything yourself.

The opportunity

This is a new business role focused on winning commercial insurance clients across the South East. It will suit someone who is most comfortable in front of decision-makers, can build trust quickly and knows how to turn a prospect into a long-term client.

You may already have a following in the market. Equally, you may just be very good at creating opportunities, handling complex conversations and building a pipeline with consistency.

For the right person, this is a chance to join a broker with real reach while still being judged on sensible commercial outcomes rather than theatre.

What the role involves


  • You will be responsible for developing new commercial insurance relationships across the South East, targeting clients where you can add real value rather than simply chasing volume.
  • The role is outward-facing and growth-led. You will be expected to open doors, develop opportunities and win business, with internal broking, placement and service support around you.

Responsibilities


  • Win new commercial insurance business across the South East
  • Build and manage a pipeline of SME and mid-market opportunities, with scope for larger cases depending on your background
  • Develop relationships with business owners, directors, finance leads and other senior stakeholders
  • Lead client conversations around risk, cover, programme structure and service approach
  • Work closely with internal broking and placement teams to deliver credible solutions
  • Build long-term client relationships that create renewal value and wider portfolio opportunity
  • Keep a clear focus on pipeline quality, conversion and revenue growth
  • Represent the broker professionally in the regional market

Who this role could suit


  • A Development Executive in commercial insurance who wants a stronger name behind them
  • A proven commercial insurance producer looking for a better platform to win and grow business
  • Someone from an independent broker or national broker background
  • A relationship-led new business professional who understands how to build quality revenue over time
  • A commercial insurance professional with experience across the South East market

Why this broker


  • A national broker can offer real advantages when it is set up properly: stronger insurer access, broader in-house capability, established market credibility and the ability to support larger or more complex cases without slowing everything down.
  • This role offers the balance many producers want but do not often find. The platform is there, the support is there, and the earning potential is there. What matters is whether you can use it.

Salary and benefits


  • Basic salary from £50,000 to £85,000
  • Six-figure on-target earnings
  • National broker platform with strong insurer relationships
  • Support from broking, placement and servicing teams
  • Access to a broad commercial insurance proposition
  • South East focus with genuine scope to build a valuable portfolio

The next step

If you are a Development Executive in the commercial insurance market and you want a better platform for the business you are already capable of winning, this is worth a confidential conversation.
