Insurance Account Executive

Job description

Insurance Account Executive

London (On-site)

£40,000 - £55,000 + bonus (DOE)

The Opportunity:

We’re working with a well-regarded specialist insurance brokerage looking to appoint an Account Executive to take ownership of an established and profitable client book. This is a great opportunity for someone who is already operating at Account Executive level - or ready to step into it - and wants autonomy, client ownership, and the ability to grow a portfolio over time.

You’ll inherit a live book of business from day one, working with a mix of complex commercial risks and high-value clients, with the freedom to manage relationships, lead renewals, and shape placement strategy.

The Role:

You’ll act as the primary relationship lead for your portfolio, taking full ownership of client delivery and commercial performance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing an existing client book, acting as the main point of contact
• Leading renewals end-to-end, including market approach, negotiation, and placement
• Advising clients on programme structure, policy wording, and risk strategy
• Building long-term, consultative client relationships
• Liaising directly with insurers and underwriters to secure competitive terms
• Identifying opportunities to grow and develop the portfolio
• Ensuring FCA compliance, accurate documentation, and high service standards
• Working closely with internal broking and support teams to deliver seamlessly

About You

You’ll be confident operating independently, with strong technical grounding and a commercial mindset.

We’re looking for:

• 3+ years’ experience within insurance broking or an Account Executive role
• Proven experience owning or managing a client book
• Strong knowledge of commercial insurance products
• Confidence dealing directly with clients, insurers, and underwriters
• Ability to manage multiple renewals and deadlines effectively
• Commercial awareness with a focus on client retention and growth
• Cert CII (or working towards) is advantageous

What’s on Offer

• £40,000 - £55,000 base salary (DOE) + bonus
• Immediate ownership of a live, established client portfolio
• Exposure to complex, technically interesting risks
• A supportive, specialist brokerage environment
• Clear opportunity to grow your book and progress your career

Why This Role?

• Step into a true Account Executive position - not just servicing
• Real autonomy and client ownership from day one
• Opportunity to build and shape your own portfolio
• Work within a high-quality, client-focused brokerage

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership, build relationships, and grow a book, apply or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
