You’ll work across our biggest clients and most exciting opportunities — shaping propositions, crafting bid documents that stand out, and managing relationships we’ve worked hard to earn.

  • Leading on new business proposals and renewal strategies that don’t just tick compliance boxes — they turn heads and win trust
  • Working alongside senior colleagues and producers to help clients feel like they’re in the safest, smartest hands in the market
  • Acting as a project manager across key tenders, defensive reviews, and retention campaigns

  • A background in commercial insurance broking, with experience across property, casualty, and more
  • A sharp mind for detail and a calm, strategic approach to project work
  • A genuine curiosity — about clients, industries, and what makes a solution better than just "good enough"
  • Strong communication skills — you can hold your own in boardrooms, Teams calls, and renewal meetings
  • Ideally, some project management experience, although a strong track record in complex renewals will also suffice.
  • CII qualifications are great — but what matters most is capability, attitude, and drive

What You’ll Get:

  • The flexibility to work how, where, and when you work best
  • A culture that’s collaborative, open, and built on doing things properly — not just profitably
  • A place where ideas are welcome, mistakes are learned from, and you’ll never be a cog in a machine
  • A bonus structure that rewards real impact
  • Top-tier pension and benefits
  • Ongoing support for your professional growth — including full funding for CII qualifications if you want them
