Account Manager

If you are a commercial insurance professional who enjoys looking after clients properly, keeping accounts in good order and acting as the person clients trust when things need sorting, this should be worth your attention. This Chelmsford-based Account Manager role would suit someone who is comfortable managing established commercial relationships, handling renewals with care and making sure clients feel well advised rather than simply processed.

The attraction here is the balance. You get the backing of a substantial broking platform, but the role itself still comes down to the quality of your client management, your judgement and your ability to keep business moving well. For the right person, it offers a sensible step into a role with more weight, more visibility and a stronger proposition behind you.

The opportunity

It should appeal to someone who understands that good account management is about more than administration. Clients want clear communication, renewals handled properly and a broker who stays close enough to the detail to spot issues before they become problems.

The wider platform behind the role gives it real credibility. The business has a sizeable UK footprint and a well-established Chelmsford office, which should reassure anyone who wants the support, insurer access and market standing that can make client management roles more effective and more commercially satisfying.
