Business Development Executive

Commercial Development Executive – London

Salary: £50,000 + (Open to negotiate)

Benefits: Hybrid working, Negotiable performance bonus structure, Career progression opportunities across the wider group

About the Company:

A leading international insurance broking group with an extensive UK presence and deep specialist market capability. Backed by substantial resources and a collaborative team structure, the business offers an established platform that combines the scale of a global intermediary with the agility of focused specialist divisions.

Role Summary:

If you are a motivated business developer looking for genuine commercial freedom backed by dedicated broking support, this role offers an ideal balance. Rather than being tied to routine servicing and administrative processing, you will take lead origination into your own hands. You will work alongside experienced colleagues who assist with placement and conversion, while benefiting from long-term career growth opportunities across a major corporate group.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and execute your own targeted business development strategy, giving you complete autonomy over lead generation and pipeline management.
• Proactively identify and approach commercial prospects, building valuable direct market connections and elevating your personal industry profile.
• Collaborate with dedicated in-house technical brokers to convert opportunities, allowing you to focus on door-opening and relationship-building without being held back by administrative processing.
• Explore and expand opportunities across real estate and complementary commercial insurance lines, broadening your technical exposure with the backing of a major broker group.

Requirements:

• Proven track record of winning new commercial insurance business through proactive origination.
• Experience in real estate insurance is advantageous, though broad commercial insurance experience paired with strong business development ability will also be considered.
• Demonstrated ability to produce a strategic business plan and successfully self-generate pipelines.
• Strong communication and introductory skills with the confidence to approach decision-makers and build enduring professional networks.

If this role isn’t quite right, it’s still worth speaking to one of our specialist team, as we may be working on something that hasn’t hit the market yet.
