If you are an experienced Commercial/Corporate Account Executive who would like to deal with a small number of high-profile, major corporate accounts, then look no further than this rare Account Director opportunity in Yorkshire.

This new role has arisen with what is arguably the most prestigious insurance broker in the world, providing exposure to some of the most coveted accounts in the North. You'll enjoy working for a company that boasts the largest office in Leeds in terms of revenue, along with a highly experienced team of corporate broking professionals.

Upon joining, you'll inherit a small number of clients generating total fee income of up to £1 million. The make-up of your portfolio can be adjusted according to your strengths and experience, including high-profile 'trophy' clients generating individual fee income ranging from £100K to £300K. A fascinating array of accounts is available, including well-known football clubs, global financial institutions, construction giants, and household name food producers. Refreshingly, the majority of clients are based within 10 miles of Leeds.

"We are performing extremely well, enjoying some of the best results in almost a decade, and our office is a real breath of fresh air," says the Branch Director. "We are investing enormously in talent, and we offer an incredible environment where people can flourish." This organisation is renowned for being one of the most caring and supportive companies in the insurance industry, offering training and development opportunities that are second to none. The Branch Director cites, "If someone wants to do something internally here, we'll support it, and my own progression within the company is evidence of the enormous potential here."

Given its comprehensive training and development programme, our client is flexible regarding experience and will consider experienced Insurance Account Executives from either a corporate or large commercial background. However, it is important that you have dealt with some larger commercial cases, for whom you have strategically led their insurance programmes. You'll need first-class relationship management and client-facing skills, along with a consultative approach to account servicing. Just as importantly, you'll be a team player, motivated to provide your clients with the best possible service by utilizing all available resources and services from this world-leading organisation.

Our client offers hybrid-working, allowing you to report into either the Leeds or Sheffield branch.

You will be rewarded with a highly attractive salary along with a bonus that could realistically add an additional £15K to £20K on top of your salary. There is also a market-leading flexible benefits package on offer, along with numerous career-development opportunities that are simply not available within most insurance brokerages.
