Business Development Manager (Highly Prestigious Insurer)

This is arguably the most exciting insurance company in the market right now.

Currently enjoying 20% year on year growth, and with plans to double in size over the next 5 years, this organisation is investing heavily in the growth of its broker distribution arm.

As a result of its strategic expansion, this newly-created role has arisen for a Business Development Manager to join its hugely successful team.

Our client operates in over 20 countries and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service.

Your role will focus on broker agencies which are members of Networks that our client has partnered with. You’ll be responsible for managing broker partnerships, which will include overseeing account plans, building pipelines and driving growth. As well as managing existing relationships, you will actively seek new partner Network member brokers. To achieve your objectives, you will work alongside Network business development teams, as well as internally with new business underwriters, existing business teams, and other business areas. You’ll hold regular development meetings (both face to face and virtually), attend networking events and conferences, whilst developing a clear understanding of the company’s sector propositions.

You’ll enjoy promoting market-leading specialist insurance products across a range of lines, including but not limited to, Financial Lines, Tech, Construction, Care & Charities. This is a business that continues to evolve and as such, you’ll be involved with the roll-out of exciting new products and propositions.

It is essential that you have commercial insurance knowledge (any product background will be considered), together with previous experience of working in a Business Development-style role within the insurance industry. We will consider experienced BDMs, as well as talented Development / New Business Underwriters or ambitious Telephone-Based Account Managers etc.

Crucially, we are looking for a motivated, engaging and passionate Business Developer, who shares this innovative insurer’s strong vision for growth.

Whilst this role will be predominantly home-based, you can report into either our client’s Leeds, Manchester or Birmingham office. Given the nature of your insurance broker panel, there is not a huge amount of travelling with this role; typically, you’ll be 'on the road’ a couple of days a week.

One of the biggest selling points of working for this company are the career-development opportunities it provides ambitious professionals. Due to its significant growth, promotions are literally taking place within this organisation on a daily basis. Many people who join this company cite, "this is the best place I have ever worked at". It is genuinely difficult to find a company that invests so heavily in its staff because they want them to benefit from, "proper careers, where every member of staff has a mentor."

You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus car allowance, lucrative bonus, and a comprehensive company benefits package, which includes substantial pension contributions.
