An opportunity for an experienced Account Director to ‘level up’ in all areas – from the proposition and service you’ll offer your clients, through the way you’re rewarded and managed and into the progressive environment you’ll work in.
You’ll join a commercial insurance broking business with a compelling story; the firm is innovative and amongst the fastest-growing in the UK – all built on a foundation of quality advice and exceptional service.
