Ideally you will be an account handler with previous commercial experience in a broking environment, have achieved or are on the way to achieving Cert II or relevant Insurance qualification, and work well within a small team environment.

**What will I be responsible for?**

You will provide a complete professional service to new prospects, existing clients and your account executives in respect of quotations, adjustments, renewals and claims.

**Your standard work duties include**:

- Negotiating with underwriters to find the best price
- Advising clients on risk management/mitigation
- Working to deadlines for renewals
- Ensure efficiency and streamlined workflows where possible in your process

- Experience within a broking environment (preferable)
- Experience handling your own accounts (essential)
- Professional qualification - CII or working towards professional qualifications (ideal)
- Being able to demonstrate a sound knowledge and understanding of the regulatory and compliance framework in which you operate in.

**How do I apply?**
