Head of Broking

Head of Broking

Up to £80,000 Basic + 15% Annual Bonus + 33% Profit Share | Hybrid Working

Our client is a growing independent commercial insurance broker with ambitious plans for the future. We are looking for an experienced, commercially driven insurance professional to join the business as Head of Broking & Client Growth.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional broking or management position. You’ll combine technical broking, client development, leadership and business growth, working closely with the Managing Director and having a genuine influence on the future direction of the business.

What’s in it for you?

• Up to £80,000 basic salary
• 15% annual performance bonus
• 33% profit share on income generated above a £150,000 target
• Pension
• Professional qualification support
• Hybrid working
• Clear progression into Senior Leadership
• Significant autonomy and visibility within a growing independent broker

The Opportunity

As Head of Broking & Client Growth, you’ll take a leading role across the broking function while continuing to develop and manage your own commercial client portfolio.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading, mentoring and developing the broking team
• Managing and growing a portfolio of SME and Mid-Market commercial clients
• Driving new business and supporting client retention
• Building strong, long-term relationships with insurers
• Providing technical oversight on complex commercial placements
• Identifying and developing new growth opportunities
• Working closely with the Managing Director on strategic initiatives
• Contributing to the wider direction and growth of the business

This is a hands-on leadership role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to clients, the insurer market and the day-to-day realities of commercial broking - not someone looking for a purely operational management position.

Who are we looking for?

You’ll need a strong commercial insurance background, with experience working across SME and Mid-Market clients, alongside a proven ability to develop and retain relationships.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Strong commercial insurance broking experience
• A proven track record in client development and retention
• Good insurer market knowledge and established market relationships
• Experience mentoring, leading or managing colleagues
• Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills
• A sound understanding of FCA regulatory requirements

Desirable:

• Cert CII or Dip CII qualification
• Experience using Acturis
• Exposure to Property, Commercial Combined, Liability and Fleet
• Existing client, introducer or insurer relationships

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the strategy of a growing independent business, work directly with the Managing Director, build your own portfolio and have a direct financial stake in the success you create.

For the right person, this role can be a genuine stepping stone into broader senior leadership, with the autonomy, influence and earning potential that comes with it.
