  • Support as you grow: As the portfolio expands, there are plans to introduce additional account handling support.
  • Long-term progression: Join a successful business that values ambition, rewards performance and offers genuine career development opportunities.


The role

You'll take ownership of an established portfolio of Real Estate clients, delivering an exceptional standard of service while proactively identifying and converting new business opportunities.

This is a hands-on, client-facing Account Executive position, ideal for someone who enjoys being close to their clients and wants the freedom to grow their own portfolio.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Managing and developing an established Real Estate insurance portfolio.
  • Winning new business and growing income through existing relationships, referrals and new opportunities.
  • Building trusted, long-term relationships with property owners, investors and Real Estate businesses.
  • Managing renewals, insurer negotiations and insurance placements.
  • Advising clients on risk exposures, coverage requirements and insurance solutions.
  • Working alongside specialist colleagues and international broking partners on more complex requirements.
  • Delivering exceptional client service and maintaining strong insurer relationships.


What we're looking for

We're keen to speak with established, commercially driven Account Executives who have a genuine passion for the Real Estate insurance market.

Ideally, you'll have:

  • At least three years' experience as a client-facing Account Executive, with strong Real Estate insurance expertise.
  • A proven track record of winning new business and developing client portfolios.
  • Established relationships within the property and Real Estate sector.
  • Strong technical commercial property insurance knowledge.
  • Excellent client relationship management, negotiation and communication skills.
  • The ambition and commercial drive to significantly grow an established portfolio.
  • ACII qualification or progress towards it would be advantageous.

Whether you have an established network of contacts, a potentially transferable book or simply an excellent track record of winning and retaining Real Estate business, we'd be delighted to speak with you.



An excellent salary and benefits package

Our client offers a highly competitive remuneration package designed to reward success and support your long-term career.

Benefits include:

  • Highly competitive basic salary, dependent on experience.
  • Attractive commission and performance-related earning opportunities.
  • Generous annual leave entitlement.
  • Excellent company pension scheme.
  • Private healthcare and wellbeing benefits.
  • Life assurance and income protection.
  • Enhanced family-friendly policies.
  • Additional employee benefits and reward schemes.
  • Ongoing professional development, training and support towards industry qualifications.
  • Excellent long-term career progression opportunities.


Could this be your next career move?

If you're a successful Real Estate Account Executive looking for an opportunity where you can inherit an established portfolio, significantly increase income and be rewarded for your success, this is definitely worth a confidential conversation.

You don't need to be actively looking to explore what could be a fantastic next step in your career.
