Description
If you are a Senior Account Handler who enjoys the technical side of broking but has no interest in chasing new business, this will be worth your attention.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in running complex commercial programmes properly. Someone who values structure, professionalism and being part of a serious broking operation. You will not be expected to build your own book. You will not be pushed into sales. Your focus will be delivery, oversight and raising standards.
You will support a portfolio of established commercial clients alongside experienced Account Executives, the Broking Manager and Regional Director of Sales. The clients are already there. The relationships are strong. What matters is how well they are serviced.
This is a visible role within the team. You will mentor junior colleagues and have a direct impact on performance, quality and client retention. It is a platform role for someone who wants their next step to lead towards Broking Operations leadership.
