Commercial Insurance Account Executive – No Existing Book Required
Melton Mowbray | £50,000–£75,000 + Uncapped Commission | Flexible Working
Are you an experienced commercial insurance professional who can build trusted client relationships, identify new opportunities and wants greater control over your career and earning potential?
Perhaps you are already working as an Account Executive or Development Executive. Alternatively, you may be a strong Senior Commercial Account Handler or Account Manager who has developed business, managed client relationships and is ready to step into a more autonomous, commercially focused position.
Importantly, you do not need to bring an existing portfolio of clients to be considered.
CKB Recruitment is working with a growing, relationship-led independent insurance brokerage based in Melton Mowbray. The business has built an excellent reputation for straightforward advice, personal service, strong client retention and specialist commercial-insurance expertise.
It is now looking for an ambitious Commercial Account Executive who can help develop new opportunities while becoming an influential part of the company’s continued growth.
The Opportunity

Identify and convert commercial insurance opportunities
Develop a profitable and sustainable client base
