Trade Credit Account Executive / Director
Hybrid – South East (Surrey, Sussex, London, Kent, Essex)
Full-time | Excellent package + bonus + benefits | UK travel
Are you a Trade Credit specialist who enjoys developing new opportunities, shaping propositions, and working in a dynamic, growth-focused environment?
This is an opportunity to join one of the UK’s most respected independent insurance groups – a business that’s expanding rapidly and investing heavily in its specialty lines, including Trade Credit, Surety and Political Risk.
The opportunity
Working alongside an experienced Director, you’ll play a pivotal role in building out the Trade Credit proposition – both internally across the wider broking group and externally in the marketplace.
This is a genuine growth role: you’ll combine technical trade credit knowledge with commercial drive, helping to grow revenue, develop new client relationships and raise awareness of trade credit as a core business line.
Key focus areas
* Partner with the Director to deliver the Trade Credit growth plan and strategy.
* Develop new business through your own network, referrals and cross-selling within the group.
* Engage with regional and corporate broking teams to promote Trade Credit opportunities and support client conversations.
* Manage and service your own portfolio of clients, ensuring high retention and quality advice.
* Work closely with finance, credit and treasury teams to deliver tailored credit insurance solutions.
* Liaise with insurers to structure and negotiate effective programmes.
* Contribute to marketing, thought leadership and internal education around Trade Credit.

This independent insurance group combines the resources and reach of a national broker with the collaborative, people-first culture of an owner-managed business.
They’re known for stability, strong client relationships and a reputation for doing things properly – but without the red tape of a corporate.
You’ll be part of a team that genuinely values initiative, rewards performance, and gives you the autonomy to make an impact.
What we’re looking for
* Proven experience in Trade Credit insurance within a broking environment.
* Strong commercial instincts and a track record of developing new business.
* Confident communicator able to engage senior finance stakeholders.
* Collaborative mindset – able to work across the wider broking group to generate opportunities.
* Organised, professional and motivated by growth and long-term client relationships.
* (Desirable) ACII/Dip CII or similar professional qualification.
What’s on offer
* Competitive salary + bonus + benefits
* Hybrid working – South East offices & client travel across the UK
* Clear progression within a growing specialty team
* Supportive, entrepreneurial environment with real autonomy
