Commercial Insurance Account Handler

Are you an experienced Commercial Account Handler looking to join a growing brokerage where your career can develop alongside the business?

We're currently working with a fast-growing and highly ambitious insurance broking group that has established several successful offices across the UK and continues to expand at an impressive rate. Backed by a driven and entrepreneurial owner, this business offers genuine long-term career opportunities for ambitious insurance professionals.

As part of their continued growth due to a recent acquisition, they are now looking to recruit a Commercial Account Handler/Manager to join them. This role can be remotely based but you will need to occasionally get into their Reading office, based in Pangbourne, so they would prefer someone who was close enough to do this.

This is a unique opportunity that sits between a Commercial Account Handler and an Account Executive role, offering the best of both worlds.

You'll continue to utilise your technical insurance knowledge whilst gaining greater exposure to client-facing responsibilities, helping businesses navigate their insurance programmes and becoming a key point of contact for a portfolio of clients.

You'll join a close-knit team of people in a business that has exciting expansion plans over the coming years. As the business grows, so will your opportunities for progression and personal development.

The company handles a broad range of insurance risks, though this role will focus primarily on commercial insurance business, and looking after a book of commercial lines business currently sat at £130,000 income.

You will be responsible for:

• Managing a portfolio of existing commercial clients
• Handling renewals, adjustments and day-to-day account servicing
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Working with insurers to negotiate terms and obtain competitive solutions
• Handling a wide range of commercial insurance products
• Developing and supporting new business opportunities

You'll gain exposure to a diverse range of commercial insurance products, including:

• Commercial Combined
• Shops
• Offices
• Liabilities
• Motor Fleet

To be considered, you'll ideally have:

• At least 3 years' experience within a commercial insurance broking environment
• Experience handling a range of commercial insurance policies
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A professional and driven approach
• The ability to build long-term client relationships and generate repeat business
• Experience using Acturis (preferred but not essential)

Candidates studying towards their CII qualifications will be viewed favourably, although this is by no means essential.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is ambitious, enjoys working with clients and wants to build a long-term career within a business that is genuinely going places.

• Salary of £38,000 - £42,000 depending on experience
• Bonus scheme
• Remote working
• Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm
• Genuine career progression opportunities
• Support towards future development and qualifications
