About the role
Joining a HNW business development team (and a larger HNW division), your focus will be on proactively managing new business. Primarily, the role involves managing insurance for a clientele with high-value possessions, ranging from exquisite jewellery and art collections to classic cars and luxury homes.

Your portfolio will encompass high net worth (HNW), home, motor, fine art, jewellery, travel, and pet insurance.
Consistency will be crucial to ensure a strong and constant pipeline. The quicker and more effectively you and the team transition clients to the EB team, the more focused you can become on generating and securing new high-net-worth clients.
The key to success in this role is exemplary service - over 95 per cent of the company clients choose to stay each year.

The team will be supported by a marketing person and a dedicated business development executive who will be generating leads and an assistant account handler. As a team player, you’ll help create and contribute to a team and workplace environment which is consistently inspiring everyone to do their very best for the business, clients and each other.

Ideally, you’ll bring experience developing new business and building relationships with private or HNW clients, and insurers; as well as internally with colleagues across multiple divisions.
