Location: North Somerset or Bath

Salary: £40,000 – £50,000

Benefits: Car allowance, performance incentive scheme, supportive technical environment

About the Company:

This growing regional branch forms part of a national insurance group backed by one of the world’s largest brokerages. The office is expanding following internal promotions and continued investment, offering a strong technical support structure alongside a collaborative and ambitious team environment. The business is focused on empowering individuals to build and scale their own portfolios with full backing.

Role Summary:

This is a pure new business role focused on building a commercial insurance portfolio from the ground up. You’ll be supported by internal lead generation, introducer relationships, and cross-referrals, while taking ownership of developing your own pipeline. With a clear route into handling larger and more complex risks, this role is ideal for someone looking to establish and grow a book with long-term progression in mind.

Key Responsibilities:

• Generate new business: Build your own portfolio from scratch, directly impacting your earnings and progression

• Convert inbound opportunities: Maximise leads from internal teams and introducer networks

• Develop introducer relationships: Build partnerships with accountants, legal firms, and other professionals

• Conduct client meetings: Win new business through strong, face-to-face engagement

• Drive pipeline activity: Maintain consistent self-generated business to accelerate growth

Requirements:

• Strong background in commercial insurance across multiple product lines

• Proven ability or strong desire to win new business

• Confident in face-to-face client engagement

• Self-starter with a disciplined, proactive approach

If this role isn’t quite right, it’s still worth speaking to one of our specialist team — we may be working on something that hasn’t hit the market yet.
