Development Executive

£45k - £80k per annum
Full-time

Are you a Commercial Account Handler/Client Adviser looking to take a step up into a client facing role?

We have partnered with a leading national insurance broker that are looking for Development Executives to join their growing Southwest division, covering the Exeter, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset regions. This is a high-impact opportunity for an ambitious individual to build a profitable book of business with the backing of a well-resourced and growth-focused organisation.

The Role

The Development Executive will be responsible for generating and converting new business opportunities across commercial lines. This is a client-facing, relationship-driven role with a strong emphasis on proactive business development. The successful candidate will be expected to build a pipeline through a combination of self-generated activity and company-provided leads, ultimately establishing a sustainable and growing portfolio.

Lead generation is supported through a dedicated tele-sales function, internal referrals, marketing campaigns and data-led targeting tools. However, a self-starting mindset and the ability to originate opportunities independently are essential.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a national broker that combines entrepreneurial freedom with strong institutional support, ideal for individuals looking to accelerate their career in a high-performance environment.

Visit the IDEX Consulting Ltd website for further opportunities. Please note that the information supplied may be retained for up to 10 years for use in connection with future vacancies. For full information on how we use your data, please visit the IDEX Consulting website and view our Privacy Policy.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mission

At IDEX, we strive for an inclusion-first company culture where everyone is treated fairly and can bring their authentic selves to work. We recognise and acknowledge that diverse representation at every level of our business requires continuous and measurable effort. We are committed to driving conscious inclusion across our business and creating equitable pathways.
