Part-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Welcome to Gallagher - a global community of people who bring bold ideas, deep expertise, and a shared commitment to doing whats right. We help clients navigate complexity with confidence by empowering businesses, communities, and individuals to thrive. Whether you join us in a client-facing role or as part of our brokerage division, our benefits and HR consulting division, or our corporate team, youll have the opportunity to grow your career, make an impact, and be part of something bigger. We are looking to recruit a Development Executive to join our growing Mid-Market team in Wales. You'll be joining a collaborative environment where relationships matter, success is celebrated, and individuals are empowered to make a genuine impact on the growth of the business. Whether you're already a successful Business Development Executive looking for your next challenge, or you're currently in an Account Management, Account Handling, or SME-focused role with a real passion for sales and relationship building, we'd love to hear from you. As Business Development Executive, you will be responsible for identifying, securing, and developing new business opportunities across the Welsh market, building valuable relationships and creating long-term partnerships that drive sustainable growth. We've built the infrastructure, support systems, and resources you need to be successful - from market-leading tools and platforms to expert colleagues, dedicated training, and a culture that champions your development. Everything is in place to help you perform at your best and reach your full potential. A key part of this role is developing and nurturing strategic financial institution referral relationships, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys networking, building trust, and creating meaningful business partnerships. Given the nature of the role, we're flexible on location across Wales. Success in this position comes from being out in the market - meeting clients, strengthening partner relationships, and identifying new opportunities - rather than being office-based, with typically just one day a week spent in the office alongside the wider team. Actively seek and respond to new business opportunities whilst exceeding agreed targets. Whilst results are important, equal emphasis is placed on how you build relationships and represent our business within the market. Develop and maintain strong relationships with key referral and affinity partners, becoming a trusted and valued extension of their network. Regularly engage with partners and prospects across the region, building long-term relationships that generate sustainable new business opportunities. Contribute to the overall success of the team through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a proactive approach to business development. Attend networking events, trade shows, industry functions, and partner meetings, using your interpersonal skills to identify and maximise new opportunities. You have experience within the insurance industry and a strong understanding of commercial insurance and client relationship management. You may already be an experienced Business Development Executive, Development Executive, or Producer looking to further develop your career within a growing Mid-Market proposition. Alternatively, you could be an ambitious Account Handler, Account Manager, SME Executive, or similar insurance professional with a proven ability to build relationships and a desire to move into a more sales-focused role. You possess excellent communication and networking skills, with the confidence to represent the business both internally and externally. Experience of closing new business is key. You're eligible to work in the UK and willing to travel across Wales as required. #Compensation and benefits Competitive compensation Career development opportunities and ongoing learning The opportunity to do meaningful work with global reach and local impact At Gallagher, we are dedicated to building an inclusive and authentic workplace.
