Account Executive

We're working with a fast-growing, independently owned commercial insurance broker who are looking to expand their footprint in Croydon as part of a wider growth strategy. With a strong reputation for service-led broking and client retention, they are now seeking an experienced Commercial Account Executive to join their team and take over a well-established portfolio of clients.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a book of commercial clients with high retention, while also being given the tools, support, and autonomy to develop the portfolio further.

The Role:

• Inherit and manage an existing book of commercial clients across a wide range of sectors and risk profiles.
• Deliver high-quality account management, ensuring strong retention, technical delivery, and relationship development.
• Identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities within the current portfolio, while also being encouraged to develop new business through referrals, networking, and inbound leads.
• Work closely with a highly capable internal broking and support team who will handle day-to-day policy administration.
• Represent the Croydon office as a senior client-facing professional, contributing to the branch's ongoing growth.

What's on Offer:

• A fully serviced, income-generating client portfolio to inherit from day one.
• A flexible and forward-thinking working environment - including hybrid working options.
• Strong internal support with dedicated broking, claims, and administrative resource.
• Autonomy to run your portfolio your way, within a broker that trusts its people.
• Competitive salary depending on experience (realistic OTE into six figures), plus bonus, car allowance, and full benefits.
• Genuine career development in a business where internal promotion and growth are common.

What They're Looking For:

• An experienced Commercial Account Executive with a proven ability to manage and grow a client book.
• Strong technical knowledge across a range of commercial lines including property, liability, and combined risks.
• Comfortable building relationships with SME and mid-market business owners and decision-makers.
• Someone with a positive, team-oriented mindset who wants to be part of a growing regional office.
• A self-starter who enjoys both client servicing and business development in equal measure.

If you're looking for a fresh challenge where you can inherit a warm portfolio, contribute to the growth of a high-performing office, and be part of a thriving, people-first brokerage - we'd love to speak with you.
