Commercial Director
Scotland
Shape a region. Develop exceptional people. Drive sustainable growth.
This is an opportunity to step into a genuine Commercial Director role where you'll have the autonomy to shape a region, influence strategy and play a key role in the continued growth of one of the UK's fastest-growing commercial insurance broking businesses.
You'll inherit an established team of experienced Account Executives and Account Directors, giving you the platform to focus on developing people, driving client service, commercial performance and creating a high-performing culture.
Unlike many leadership roles, you'll have the flexibility to retain and develop your own portfolio of clients if you wish. Whether you enjoy staying close to key client relationships or want to focus purely on leading people, the role can be shaped around your strength and aspirations.
What's in it for you?
- A genuine Commercial Director opportunity with executive visibility and influence.
- The chance to shape the strategy and performance of an established region.
- Leadership of a team of experienced Account Executives and Account Directors.
- A business that's investing heavily in growth, innovation and its people.
- Home-based flexibility with travel across Scotland.

- A 20% management bonus.
- The opportunity to work alongside some of the most respected leaders in the commercial insurance market.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Opportunity
As Commercial Director, you'll take ownership of the performance, culture and growth of the Scottish region, leading a team of approximately eight Account Executives and Account Directors.
Working closely with senior leadership, you'll be responsible for developing your people, driving commercial performance and embedding a consistent, market-leading client service proposition across the region. You'll balance operational leadership with strategic thinking, ensuring your team has everything they need to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients while supporting the wider growth ambitions of the business.
This is a modern leadership role, far removed from the traditional branch management position. Whilst having an existing portfolio of clients would be advantageous, it isn't essential. Your success will be measured by the strength of your leadership, your ability to develop others and the commercial performance of your region.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, inspire and develop a team of approximately eight Account Executives and Account Directors.
- Drive commercial growth through effective leadership, coaching and performance management.
- Create a high-performance culture built around accountability, collaboration and client excellence.
- Embed the firm's client service and stewardship model across the region.
- Support strategic growth initiatives and identify opportunities to strengthen market presence.
- Work closely with executive leadership to deliver regional business plans and develop future talent.
- Build strong internal and external relationships to enhance the reputation of the business.
- Maintain a small portfolio of strategic client relationships where appropriate, although this is not essential.
