- Description
Most Account Handler roles talk about servicing clients.
This one is about understanding them.
- Understanding how businesses operate, where they’re exposed, and how insurance becomes a tool for growth, not just protection.
- We’re looking for a Commercial Account Handler who wants to be close to clients, working alongside experienced Account Directors on complex, varied and sometimes international programmes, and playing a real role in how those clients are advised.
- This is for someone building a long-term career in client service within a broker who differentiates itself by the service that it offers.
The Role:
- You’ll manage a portfolio of commercial clients, across a broad mix of sectors including manufacturing, engineering, food and drink, retail, haulage and transport.
- This is a varied portfolio role, clients ranging in size from scale up – start up businesses, to those with genuine corporate turnover numbers, and everything in between.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing cross-class risks including property, liability, motor, fleet, cyber and professional indemnity.
- Acting as a key day-to-day contact, building strong client relationships.
- Working closely with Account Directors on complex placements and programme design.
- Handling renewals, mid-term adjustments and general servicing.
- Preparing market submissions and negotiating with insurers.
- Identifying gaps in cover and supporting cross-sell and upsell opportunities.
- Supporting and contributing to client meetings and reviews.
What You Will Bring:
- Strong commercial insurance experience.
- Experience managing multiple clients, not just a small number of giant accounts as part of a team.
- Strong cross-class knowledge across property, liability, motor, cyber and financial lines.
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and Account Directors.
- Strong communication skills and a proactive approach.
- Acturis experience is an advantage.
What You Will Get:
- Exposure to complex corporate clients across multiple sectors.
- A dedicated development plan, in which ever direction you want your career path to go, including broking, client servicing or development, project management, speciality, operations and many more.
- Close working with experienced Account Directors.
- A role with real client interaction and responsibility.
- A growing business with strong career development.
- Hybrid working and flexibility.
If you enjoy the technical side of broking, value strong client relationships, and want to develop within the mid corporate insurance space, this is a role worth exploring.
