So, what does the role of a Senior  Account Executive  here involve?

This role will be made for you if you love fostering relationships and helping clients find the right Insurance products to fit their needs. Our Account Executives are excellent at tailoring their approach, working with clients face to face, on the phone, in writing or via video calls to offer a comprehensive service to existing and potential new clients. Our clients will need your support all year round and then there are those all-important networking and prospecting activities that will help you to build and develop your portfolio as you go.

Unlike similar roles focussed on growth, working with us puts you in a unique position to offer clients solutions from a diverse range of brands and wide breadth of products with huge opportunity across the Ardonagh Group.

Negotiate with Underwriters in placing, amending or renewing clients’ insurance programmes. Ensure all documentation associated with placing, amending or renewing clients’ insurance programmes is completed in a reasonable timescale and is accurate. This will include issuing instructions to Accounts Department for relevant financial transactions to be completed Assist customers in initial reporting and subsequent negotiation with insurers of a satisfactory settlement of claims. Provide risk advice/risk management/risk prevention information on both Commercial Motor and Non-Motor risks to customers, in conjunction with Underwriters as appropriate.

What experience do our  Account and Development Executives  need?

It’s essential that you have experience gained from within the Insurance Industry in a commercial lines broking role (ideally not commercial motor focused) as you will be offering a complete commercial lines experience to new and existing customers. You will need to have knowledge of the law of agency, the Data Protection Act, credit management procedures, FCA Regulations for dealing with retail customers and money laundering legislation. It would be a bonus if you have any relevant qualifications, although we offer plenty of opportunity to gain these once you join us. 

The rest is all about you as a person;

Most important is your ability to bring your best self to work every day to give our clients the best possible experience. Next, we need you to be proactive, analytical, use your initiative and show us your entrepreneurial spirit to identify opportunities to retain and grow our business. An enthusiastic team player, support others, build trust and have a positive outlook, be engaging, collaborative and have the resilience to adapt to whatever changes come your way.
