A highly successful insurance broker is entering an exciting new phase of growth following significant investment.

Already recognised as a market leader within its specialist sector, this business has ambitious plans to expand its market presence, diversify its proposition and significantly increase profitability over the coming years.

A key part of that strategy is the development of a market-leading SME broking proposition.

This is not a role focused on maintaining an existing SME broking division. It is an opportunity to shape, build and scale a strategically important part of the business, with the investment, support and autonomy required to make a genuine impact.

For the right individual, this represents a rare opportunity to influence the direction of a successful broker whilst creating a significant growth engine for the future.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Successful broking leaders rarely move for a salary increase alone.
They move for influence, opportunity and the ability to build something meaningful.

This role offers:

• The opportunity to shape and lead the SME broking strategy for a growing business.
• Direct exposure to the Executive Team.
• The ability to influence commercial direction and growth plans.
• Access to an established client base and strong market reputation.
• Significant investment in growth, technology and acquisitions.
• The opportunity to build and develop a high-performing SME broking team.

For individuals who enjoy creating, leading and delivering growth, opportunities of this nature are uncommon.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Executive Leadership Team, you will be responsible for developing and executing the SME broking strategy, building a scalable SME business capable of delivering significant growth, profitability and long-term value for the wider organisation.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering the overall SME broking strategy.
• Driving profitable growth through client acquisition, retention and account development.
• Building a market-leading SME offering that differentiates the business from competitors.
• Identifying opportunities to maximise growth across the existing client portfolio.
• Working closely with insurer partners to ensure competitive and sustainable market access.
• Supporting acquisition activity and the successful integration of acquired portfolios where appropriate.
• Building, leading and developing a high-performing SME team.
• Creating a strong sales and client service culture focused on growth and retention.
• Using market insight and customer understanding to identify future opportunities.
• Delivering agreed revenue, growth and profitability objectives.

About You

We are interested in speaking with individuals who can demonstrate:

• Significant experience within commercial insurance broking.
• A strong understanding of the SME insurance market.
• A proven track record of delivering profitable growth.
• Experience leading broking, client service or trading teams.
• Strong commercial and strategic leadership capability.
• The ability to develop and execute growth strategies.
• Experience building relationships with insurer partners and key stakeholders.
• A collaborative leadership style and the ability to influence across a business.
• The ambition and energy to build something significant.

What's on Offer?

Alongside a highly competitive package, this role offers the opportunity to join a successful business at a pivotal stage of its growth journey.

You will have the platform, investment and executive support to build a significant SME proposition and play a key role in shaping the future direction of the business.

For ambitious broking leaders looking to leave a lasting mark on a growing organisation, opportunities of this nature are rare.
