Ready to take the next step without jumping straight into Account Executive?\nPerhaps you're an experienced Commercial Account Handler, Client Manager or Account Manager who enjoys working closely with clients but doesn't want the pressure of chasing new business every day.
\nOr maybe you're already mentoring colleagues and would like the chance to develop your leadership skills while continuing to manage your own portfolio.
\nIf so, this opportunity could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
\nCKB Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and rapidly growing independent insurance broker that is continuing to invest heavily in its Commercial Division. Due to ongoing expansion, they have one final opportunity available for an experienced Commercial Account Manager who is looking to play a bigger role within the business.
\nThis isn't your typical servicing position.
\nAlongside managing your own portfolio of commercial clients, you'll work closely with the Commercial Director, providing day-to-day support with team organisation, mentoring Client Managers and helping ensure the department continues to deliver an exceptional level of service.
\nIt's an ideal stepping stone for someone who wants to develop leadership experience whilst remaining hands-on with clients.

- Supporting more complex insurance placements alongside senior colleagues \n
- Identifying opportunities to strengthen existing client relationships \n
- Assisting the Commercial Director with the day-to-day management and organisation of the Client Manager team \n
- Coaching and supporting colleagues where required \n
This role offers genuine variety, combining technical insurance work, client relationship management and leadership exposure, all without the pressure of a heavily target-driven new business role.
About You\nWe're looking to speak with experienced Commercial Insurance professionals who enjoy building relationships just as much as they enjoy finding the right insurance solutions.
\nYou could currently be working as a:
\n- \n
- Commercial Account Handler \n
- Senior Commercial Account Handler \n
- Client Manager \n
- Commercial Insurance Broker \n
- Commercial Account Manager \n
You'll ideally bring:
\n- \n
- Several years' experience within commercial insurance \n
- Strong technical knowledge across a range of commercial products \n
- Experience managing relationships with both clients and insurers \n
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills \n
- Confidence attending client meetings and discussing insurance programmes \n
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach \n
- Experience of products such as Commercial Combined, Property, Liability, Motor Fleet, Construction, Cyber and Professional Indemnity would be highly advantageous \n
Alongside a competitive salary of £40,000-£50,000, you'll receive an excellent benefits package including:
\n- \n
- Performance bonus \n
- Hybrid working (Mondays and Fridays from home) \n
- 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays \n
- Private Healthcare \n
- Company pension \n
- Death in Service cover \n
- Free gym membership \n
- Complimentary Pilates classes \n
- Commission-free Home, Motor and Travel Insurance \n
- Genuine career progression into senior leadership or Account Executive responsibilities \n
Opportunities like this don't come along often.
\nThis role has been designed for someone who enjoys the technical side of commercial insurance but is ready for greater influence, stronger client relationships and the chance to develop management experience within a growing, forward-thinking brokerage.
\nIf you're looking for a business that genuinely invests in its people and offers a clear route for progression, we'd love to hear from you.
