Birmingham
Post Date, 22/11/2024
Salary: 75000-85000 per annum
This global brokerage’s boutique Construction practice is enjoying a sustained period of growth, both in terms of the acquisition of quality personnel and high-profile accounts. As a result of some exciting changes within the business, coupled with the promotion of the incumbent Construction Account Director to a specialist role elsewhere within the business, the need has arisen to appoint an Account Director.
This Practice boasts an enviable client list, including blue-chip privately-owned and publicly-listed Construction companies, as well as arranging the insurances for well-known PPP and PFI projects.
Here, you will inherit a significant portfolio of longstanding clients from within the Construction industry and associated sectors. Needless to say, as the departing Account Director has received an internal transfer, you will benefit from a warm handover with clients and not have to be fearful of them being 'under attack’ from a former colleague.
There is scope to reallocate some of the accounts within the branch’s portfolio to reflect your skills, experiences and ambitions, however, you must be confident in your ability to deal with clients generating brokerage income in excess of £50,000, and have a detailed understanding the various niches within the construction space. As well as a comprehensive understanding of more mainstream commercial covers such as Property, Liability and Professional Indemnity, you must be able to talk with authority about such issues as Right To Light, Latent Defects and Supply Chain Exposure.
Depending on your proximity to the office, you can be based remotely - only having to check into a regional office every month or so.
Alongside managing your portfolio (including overseeing the activities of your supporting team of Account Handlers and Brokers), as a senior member of the team, you will be involved in a number of projects.
This could include managing relationships with insurers, helping setting the future strategy of the Practice, or producing thought-leadership pieces to be shared internally and within the wider Construction community.
In return, you will receive a generous basic salary of up to £85,000 (Negotiable) plus a generous bonus and an impressive range of company benefits.
