Development Executive
Location: North of England (Head Office: Manchester)
Salary: £50,000 to £85,000 + Bonus (Open depending on experience)
An ambitious, fast-growing insurance brokerage group is looking to appoint a Development Executive to support continued expansion across the North.
Over the past two years, the business has undergone significant transformation through an aggressive M&A strategy, growing from £150m to £750m GWP. With continued investment, a diverse group structure (Retail, Wholesale, MGA, and Software capabilities), and strong backing from a global parent, the business is uniquely positioned to offer both stability and opportunity.
The Opportunity
This is a pure development role designed for an individual who thrives on winning new business and building relationships from scratch.
You’ll be tasked with:
- Generating and converting new business opportunities (typically £10k+ premium cases)
- Building a pipeline through networking, insurer relationships, and market engagement
- Leveraging in-house marketing, data, and contact management support
- Developing into a Client Director over time
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.
You won’t inherit a book from day one (unless you bring a niche specialism), giving you the freedom to shape your own portfolio and focus on growth.
What’s on Offer
- A structured 3-year development plan
- Full support in year one to help you build a sustainable pipeline
- Access to in-house MGAs, providing greater flexibility and competitiveness in the market
- Strong internal infrastructure including marketing, data buying, and lead generation support
- A collaborative culture where individuals are recognised — not lost in a large corporate structure
Expectation: You’ll aim to cover 130% of your base salary within the first 12 months, supported every step of the way.
About You
- A proven new business developer within the insurance market
- Comfortable operating in the £10k+ premium space (SME / Mid-market)
- Ideally experience in one of the following sectors:
- Construction (highly desirable)
- Haulage & Logistics
- Warehousing
- Technology / Life Sciences
- High Net Worth or Motor Trade
- Open to individuals with strong niche specialisms, even from non-traditional backgrounds

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Working Pattern
- Flexible, hybrid working model
- Typically 1–2 days per month in the Manchester office (more if preferred)
- Strong presence across the North, including both sides of the Pennines
Why Join?
This is a business in growth mode, where change is creating genuine opportunity. Despite a challenging market, the Manchester office has remained resilient, retaining key clients while continuing to win new business.
You’ll be joining at a pivotal time, stepping into a role with real visibility and the chance to make an immediate impact ahead of the new financial year (July).
