Ready to take your broking career beyond the ordinary?

This isn't just another insurance sales role!

We're looking for an ambitious Insurance Broker to join our growing Manchester-based broking team, helping place specialist risks that sit outside standard insurer criteria. You'll work directly with insurer partners, manage your own portfolio of clients, build market relationships, and play a genuine role in shaping the future of a growing broker business.

Whether you're already working in insurance broking, commercial insurance, or even another brokerage environment such as mortgages, this is an opportunity to broaden your expertise, develop your market knowledge, and become part of a team with exciting growth ambitions.

Why Join Us?

Unlike larger established brokerages, you'll be joining a small, entrepreneurial team where your ideas matter.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Manage clients throughout the entire policy lifecycle
  • Build relationships with leading insurer partners
  • Attend industry networking events and conferences
  • Influence processes and contribute new ideas
  • Develop specialist commercial broking expertise
  • Work closely with an experienced broker leadership team
  • Earn additional monthly bonus on top of your salary

This is an ideal role for someone who wants real ownership, visibility, and the chance to grow alongside a developing business function.

What You'll Be Doing:

As an Insurance Broker, you'll be responsible for generating, placing, and managing insurance business across a range of specialist and high-risk sectors.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Converting new business opportunities into sales
  • Obtaining quotations from insurer panels and open-market providers
  • Negotiating premiums and cover terms with insurers
  • Managing policies from inception through to renewal
  • Handling mid-term adjustments and customer enquiries
  • Building strong relationships with clients and insurer partners
  • Following up outstanding renewals and referrals
  • Supporting business growth through proactive account management
  • Contributing ideas to improve team performance and processes

Areas of Business:

You will work with a variety of commercial clients, including:

  • Roofing Contractors
  • Scaffolding Contractors
  • High-Risk Trades
  • Larger Plumbing Businesses
  • Electricians Working at Height
  • Other specialist commercial risks

What We're Looking For:

We're keen to speak with candidates who can bring both commercial awareness and relationship-building expertise.

Essential:

  • Insurance broking experience or transferable brokerage experience
  • Strong sales and negotiation skills
  • Excellent communication and relationship management abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple cases and priorities
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
  • Customer-focused approach with a commercial mindset

Particularly Interesting Backgrounds:

  • Commercial Insurance
  • Insurance Broking
  • Mortgage Broking
  • Account Handling
  • Renewals
  • Open Market Placement
  • Insurer Panel Management

The Type of Person Who Will Thrive Here:

You'll enjoy this role if you are:

  • Confident sharing ideas and challenging the status quo
  • Eager to build market and insurer relationships
  • Passionate about developing a career in broking
  • Collaborative and team-oriented
  • Motivated by growth and continuous improvement
  • Keen to be part of a business that's still evolving and developing

What You'll Receive:

Reward & Benefits

  • £30,000 basic salary
  • Achievable monthly bonus
  • 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
  • Buy and sell holiday scheme
  • Private medical cover
  • Dental cover
  • Life assurance
  • Income protection
  • Travel insurance
  • Excellent pension scheme
  • Ongoing learning and career development opportunities

Join a Team That's Going Places:

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a growing broker operation where you'll gain exposure to insurer negotiations, specialist commercial risks, networking opportunities, and genuine career progression. If you're looking for a role that offers more than simply answering calls and selling policies, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help shape the next chapter of our growing broking business.
