We're representing a leading UK insurance broker that continues to invest in its regional presence. As part of its ongoing growth strategy, the Leeds office is now looking to appoint a highly credible Account Director to take ownership of a substantial, well-managed portfolio of mid-market and corporate clients.
This is a senior, client-facing role that offers both stability and opportunity. You'll inherit an impressive book with a strong retention history and have the freedom to shape its growth - supported by a respected national brand and a highly capable local team.
The Role:
* Take full responsibility for a diverse portfolio of commercial clients across sectors including manufacturing, wholesale, construction, distribution, and professional services.
* Maintain and strengthen client relationships at senior stakeholder level, delivering strategic insurance and risk management advice.
* Work closely with dedicated broking, claims, and placement teams to ensure best-in-class service delivery.
* Drive account development through organic growth, cross-selling, and targeted client introductions.
* Play an active role in the broader regional business, contributing to client strategy, mentoring, and operational input.
What's on Offer:
* A large, income-generating book of business ready to inherit from day one - mid-market to lower corporate level.
* Real autonomy to manage client relationships and deliver solutions in your own style.
* A competitive base salary of up to £80,000, plus car allowance, bonus, and full corporate benefits.
* Hybrid working model - typically 2-3 days in the Leeds office, with flexibility to meet clients and work from home.
* A stable and collaborative regional team, with strong leadership and national support.
* Opportunity to step into a visible, senior role within a well-respected brokerage with clear career progression routes.
What They're Looking For:
* A proven Account Director or experienced Account Executive ready to step up into a senior role.
* Demonstrable experience managing mid-market or corporate clients, typically with fees ranging from £10k-£75k+.
* A strong technical understanding across core commercial lines - property, casualty, combined, and more complex risks.
* A relationship-led professional who can confidently advise C-suite and senior stakeholders.
* Someone who enjoys autonomy, values stability, and wants to make a real impact in a successful regional office.
If you're an experienced insurance professional looking to join a business where you can take ownership, manage high-quality clients, and be properly supported - this is the opportunity for you.
