Are you a commercial account executive who's tired of being a cog in a big, clunky machine - and want real autonomy, a book you actually own, and a genuine stake in what you build!?
  
Culture Guru is recruiting for an experienced Commercial Account Executive on behalf of a scaling, privately-owned boutique insurance brokerage - an award-nominated Small Broker of the Year finalist - that's carving out a real name for itself while the mid-sized brokers around it keep getting bought up and flogged off.
  
Founded around three years ago and now at c.£1m on the book across construction, property and private clients, this is an independent brokerage that intends to stay that way - with a clear five-year plan to build up and exit. This vacancy would suit someone who wants to broke properly again: identify and win their own new business, build genuine commercial relationships, and manage their own diary with real autonomy - all without the sign-off-to-America red tape of the big groups.
  
The brand, back-office and market relationships are already in place, so your focus is purely on what you do best: looking after clients and winning new business.
  
Responsibilities of the role but not limited to;
  

• Bringing over and/or building your own book of commercial clients (target c.£275–300k+)
• Winning fresh commercial new business across SME and mid-market
• Owning your client relationships end to end - advice, placement, renewal, retention
• Advising across commercial lines (property owners, liability, PI, commercial combined, fleet and more)
• Negotiating terms and wordings with underwriters to get the best client outcome
• Managing your own pipeline, diary and activity with genuine autonomy
• Shaping your own growth plan alongside the business owners
• Consistently delivering against (and beating) your new-business targets

  
Desirable attributes of the successful candidate;
  

• A genuine track record of winning new commercial business as an account executive
• Hard evidence of the book and revenue you've personally built or grown
• A portable book you could realistically bring - or a credible plan to build one to £275k+
• CII qualified (Cert CII / Dip CII / ACII) desirable - but track record beats letters
• Frustrated with big-broker bureaucracy and hungry for autonomy and real impact
• Entrepreneurial - you back yourself and you're motivated by long-term equity/upside
• Strong network across the South West and/or South Wales
• A confident, credible communicator who can build rapport and negotiate
• Driven by results, comfortable owning your own time and your own numbers
• Full UK driving licence

  
Apply with your CV today to avoid missing the opportunity to join an independent brokerage during an exciting period of growth - with real equity in what you build!
