A Career-Defining Opportunity with a Leading Independent Insurance Broker
Insure Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and successful independent insurance brokerage to recruit an ambitious Commercial Account Handler who is eager to take the next step towards becoming a Commercial Account Executive.
This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving independent brokerage where you will work directly alongside an exceptional industry leader, gaining hands-on exposure to complex commercial and mid-corporate risks whilst receiving the mentorship, technical support and client-facing experience needed to accelerate your career into an Account Executive position.
If you are passionate about commercial insurance, enjoy building client relationships and are looking for a business that genuinely invests in its people, this opportunity could be the perfect next move.
The Opportunity
Joining a highly successful and collaborative team, you will play a key role supporting a senior Commercial Account Executive and Director who has built an outstanding reputation within the insurance market.
You will gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of commercial and mid-corporate clients across a wide range of sectors and industries, developing your technical knowledge, client management skills and commercial acumen.
The business has a strong track record of developing talented Account Handlers into
successful Account Executives, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who has long-term ambitions to manage and develop their own portfolio of clients.
Unlike many roles where progression is discussed but rarely delivered, this business is committed to providing structured development, mentoring and ongoing support to help you achieve your career goals.
Key Responsibilities
- Supporting senior Account Executives in the management of a diverse commercial insurance portfolio.
- Handling renewals, mid-term adjustments and new business enquiries.
- Preparing market presentations and obtaining quotations from insurers.
- Liaising directly with clients, insurers and underwriters.
- Assisting with complex commercial and mid-corporate insurance programmes.
- Building strong client relationships and delivering exceptional service.
- Supporting account retention and growth strategies.
- Working closely with senior leadership to develop technical and client-facing skills.
- Using Acturis to manage client records, policy administration and documentation.
- Identifying opportunities to cross-sell and add value to existing clients.
What We're Looking For
Essential
✔ Previous experience as a Commercial Account Handler within a UK insurance brokerage.
✔ Strong technical knowledge of commercial insurance products.
✔ Experience handling a range of commercial risks including:

✔ Ambition to develop into a Commercial Account Executive role.
Desirable
- Cert CII qualification or working towards professional qualifications.

- Exposure to client meetings and insurer negotiations.
- New business or business development exposure.

Why This Role Stands Out
Many Commercial Account Handler roles offer little more than policy administration and renewals.
This opportunity is different.
You will join a business that genuinely believes in developing future talent, providing direct access to experienced leadership, technical expertise and client relationships that will accelerate your progression towards becoming a successful Commercial Account Executive.
For an ambitious Commercial Account Handler looking to elevate their career within a highly respected independent brokerage, opportunities like this are genuinely rare.
If you're ready to take the next step towards becoming a Commercial Account Executive and want to learn from some of the best in the industry, we'd love to hear from you.
