✅ Are you a commercial account executive who's tired of being a cog in a big, clunky machine - and want real autonomy, a book you actually own, and a genuine stake in what you build!?
🚀 Culture Guru is recruiting for an experienced Commercial Account Executive on behalf of a scaling, privately-owned boutique insurance brokerage - an award-nominated Small Broker of the Year finalist - that's carving out a real name for itself while the mid-sized brokers around it keep getting bought up and flogged off.
⭐ Founded around three years ago and now at c.£1m on the book across construction, property and private clients, this is an independent brokerage that intends to stay that way - with a clear five-year plan to build up and exit. This vacancy would suit someone who wants to broke properly again: identify and win their own new business, build genuine commercial relationships, and manage their own diary with real autonomy - all without the sign-off-to-America red tape of the big groups.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The brand, back-office and market relationships are already in place, so your focus is purely on what you do best: looking after clients and winning new business.
🤓 Responsibilities of the role but not limited to;
- Bringing over and/or building your own book of commercial clients (target c.£275–300k+)
- Winning fresh commercial new business across SME and mid-market
- Owning your client relationships end to end - advice, placement, renewal, retention
- Advising across commercial lines (property owners, liability, PI, commercial combined, fleet and more)
- Negotiating terms and wordings with underwriters to get the best client outcome
- Managing your own pipeline, diary and activity with genuine autonomy
- Shaping your own growth plan alongside the business owners
- Consistently delivering against (and beating) your new-business targets
