Senior Business Development Specialist – International

Job description

Location

London | High Impact | Revenue-Driven Role

About the Platform

We are a boutique Lloyd’s broker focused on originating and placing complex, large-scale risks into the international market. We operate across Eastern Europe and the Middle East, acting as a London execution platform for brokers, MGAs and insurers requiring access to international capacity.  

The Opportunity

We are looking for a senior, commercially driven person who can originate business, build pipeline and close deals.

If you are primarily an account manager or a servicing broker — this is NOT the role.

If you are a deal-maker with a network — this is exactly the role.

What You Will Be Doing

- Generate and convert new business across Europe and the Middle East

- Leverage your network to originate large and complex risks

- Work directly with decision makers (brokers, MGAs, insurers, corporates)

- Bring opportunities into the London market and drive them through to placement

- Structure and position risks effectively to secure capacity

- Build a meaningful and active revenue pipeline within the first 3–6 months

- Travel frequently across key markets (Middle East and Europe) to originate and develop business relationships

What We Expect

- Proven ability to originate and convert business, not just manage existing accounts

- Strong, active relationships across Europe and/or the Middle East

- Direct experience working with the London market / Lloyd’s

- Existing network within Lloyd’s underwriters, syndicates, or London-based brokers

- Demonstrated track record of placing complex or hard-to-place risks into international markets

- Experience in energy, marine, industrial or specialty lines

- Strong commercial mindset with the ability to engage at senior decision-maker level

- Clear and measurable revenue generation history

- Willingness and ability to travel extensively as part of a front-line business development role

You should be able to answer: “Which clients, brokers or markets can you activate immediately to generate business?”

Compensation

- Strong base salary

- Uncapped, deal-driven bonus structure

- Significant upside for top performers

Why This Is Different

- Direct access to Lloyd’s and global markets

- Focus on high-value, complex transactions

- Ability to build a meaningful book of business quickly

- No bureaucracy — pure execution environment
