Trainee Corporate Account Executive (Top Global Broker) – Inherited Portfolio

Manchester, Lancashire
Aston Charles Ltd

There’s surely no better place for a Corporate Account Executive to carve a rewarding career than with this leading global insurance broker.The Manchester branch of this global giant is one of its most successful offices, and it is continuing to expand significantly by way of impressive revenue growth and increased headcount. As a result of an internal promotion,our client is seeking a Corporate Account Executive to inherit a substantial portfolio of sizeable corporate risks. Your book can very much be tailored to your experience, skills and specific interests, and there are a wide range of industry sectors to choose from including, but not limited to, Manufacturing, Construction, Retail, Distribution, Recycling and Tech. You’ll have in the region of 10 clients with individual fee income in excess of £30K, and you’ll be working in conjunction with a world-leading broking and placement team, which will allow you to secure the very best deals on behalf of your clients.Being a market-leader, this company will give you exposure to some of the highest profile risks in the North of England (including well-known multinational concerns), where you will be involved with some truly fascinating insurance and risk management programmes. In fact, if you are looking to specialise, or learn about new classes of insurance, then this is the company to do this as the organisation boasts industry-leading subject matter experts across the whole spectrum of the insurance market.It is not essential that you come from a competing global broker, however, you must have experience of dealing with large / technical commercial insurance risks as opposed to package SME cases. Just as importantly, you’ll have well-honed client-facing skills, with the ability to secure buy-in from corporate decision makers including FDs and CFOs. We welcome applications from both Commercial Account Executives, as well as Senior Account Handlers with client-facing responsibilities, who would like to take the step into a fully-fledged Exec role. We will also consider applications from Insurer BDMs who would like to move into broking.This company is a huge advocate of flexible-working and you’ll enjoy a great deal of autonomy, allowing to fit your role around your lifestyle. Whilst you’ll be part of a hard-working team, the Director tells us, “this is a really relaxed and easy going business, where we all get on and look after each other.” You’ll be welcome in the office as much as you like (which happens to be a state of the art, newly-refurbished building in central Manchester, with free parking), but you’ll also be welcome to work from home a few days a week.You’ll benefit from an industry-renowned training and development programme, which will be tailored specifically to enable you to achieve your goals. Working very closely with this client, we are regularly hearing about exciting promotions within the business, both locally and across the globe.
