This is an excellent opportunity for an Account Executive who enjoys working closely with clients and wants the autonomy to manage relationships, identify opportunities and develop business, rather than simply managing an existing book.

Negotiate with insurers and place risks effectively within the London insurance market.

Maintain strong relationships with insurers, clients and other market contacts.
-
Ensure clients receive a high level of service throughout the insurance lifecycle.
-
Keep up to date with developments within the Real Estate and wider commercial insurance markets.
-
Contribute to the continued growth and development of the Real Estate team.

The successful candidate will ideally have:
Proven experience as an Account Executive within the commercial insurance market.
A strong background in Real Estate / Property insurance.
A good understanding of the London insurance market and insurer relationships.

The ability to work independently and take ownership of client relationships and opportunities.
A proactive and professional approach to client service.
Confidence dealing with clients, insurers and other key stakeholders.
Qualifications
A CII qualification or progress towards CII qualifications would be advantageous, although candidates with strong relevant experience will also be considered.
The Person
We are looking for someone who is relationship-focused, commercially aware and knowledgeable about the Real Estate insurance market.
You will be someone who enjoys speaking with clients, understanding their businesses and finding the right insurance solutions for their needs. You should be confident working autonomously while also being a collaborative member of the wider team.
This role would suit an experienced Real Estate Account Executive who is looking for a fresh challenge, greater autonomy and the opportunity to play an important role in the continued growth of an established independent broker.
