Description

If you are ready to move into a Junior Account Executive role and want the chance to build client relationships, learn from experienced people around you and grow into the commercial side of the market properly, this is the sort of opportunity worth considering. It will suit someone who has already built a grounding in commercial insurance and now wants a role with more visibility, more responsibility and a clearer path forward.

This is a good move for someone who does not want to be left waiting years for progression or kept at arm's length from clients. You will have the chance to develop your own profile, support client relationships and start building the skills that matter if you want a long-term future as a successful Account Executive.

The opportunity

This Junior Account Executive role is based in the Greater Reading area and offers a genuine step forward for someone looking to move out of a purely support-led position. You will work closely with experienced colleagues, get exposure to a live portfolio and start developing the commercial judgement and client confidence that a good Executive needs.

There is real value here for someone ambitious but sensible. You do not need to arrive as the finished article, but you do need the right attitude, some grounding in commercial insurance and the appetite to build your career properly.

What the role looks like


  • You will support the management and development of commercial insurance clients, helping with renewals, relationship management and day-to-day client work while gradually taking on more ownership of accounts. Over time, the expectation will be that you build confidence in front of clients, understand how to spot opportunities and become a trusted part of the team.
  • This is the kind of role that gives you room to grow without throwing you in unsupported.

Responsibilities


  • Supporting the management of a portfolio of commercial insurance clients
  • Assisting with renewals, client reviews and ongoing servicing activity
  • Building relationships with clients and helping to maintain a high standard of service
  • Working with insurers and internal teams to secure terms and progress business
  • Identifying opportunities to strengthen existing client relationships
  • Supporting senior colleagues with new business and portfolio development activity
  • Learning how to manage accounts commercially as well as administratively

Who this could suit


  • A Commercial Account Handler looking to step towards an Executive role
  • A junior client-facing insurance professional who wants more exposure and responsibility
  • Someone with a good grounding in commercial insurance and strong relationship skills
  • An ambitious individual who wants a clear route into an Account Executive career
  • A person who is credible, organised and keen to keep developing

The business


  • You would be joining an established insurance environment that can offer the support, structure and exposure needed to help someone make that next step successfully. The team will suit someone who wants to learn from experienced people, build confidence and develop in a role with real long-term potential.

Package and benefits


  • Greater Reading area based role
  • Genuine step into a Junior Account Executive position
  • Exposure to clients, renewals and portfolio development
  • Support from experienced insurance professionals
  • Strong long-term career progression potential

The next step

If you would be open to a confidential conversation, I would be happy to talk you through it in more detail. For someone looking to move into an Executive path the right way, this could be a very good opportunity.
