Insurance Broker
Manchester | £30,000 + Monthly Bonus | Monday-Friday | 8:30am-5:30pm
About the Role
Ready to take your broking career beyond the ordinary? This isn't just another insurance sales role!
We're looking for an ambitious Insurance Broker to join our growing Manchester-based broking team, helping place specialist risks that sit outside standard insurer criteria. You'll work directly with insurer partners, manage your own portfolio of clients, build market relationships, and play a genuine role in shaping the future of a growing broker business.
Whether you're already working in insurance broking, commercial insurance, or even another brokerage environment such as mortgages, this is an opportunity to broaden your expertise, develop your market knowledge, and become part of a team with exciting growth ambitions.
Why Join Us?
Unlike larger established brokerages, you'll be joining a small, entrepreneurial team where your ideas matter.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Manage clients throughout the entire policy lifecycle
- Build relationships with leading insurer partners
- Attend industry networking events and conferences
- Influence processes and contribute new ideas
- Develop specialist commercial broking expertise
- Work closely with an experienced broker leadership team
- Earn additional monthly bonus on top of your salary
This is an ideal role for someone who wants real ownership, visibility, and the chance to grow alongside a developing business function.
What You'll Be Doing
As an Insurance Broker, you'll be responsible for generating, placing, and managing insurance business across a range of specialist and high-risk sectors.
Key Responsibilities
- Converting new business opportunities into sales
- Obtaining quotations from insurer panels and open-market providers
- Negotiating premiums and cover terms with insurers
- Managing policies from inception through to renewal
- Handling mid-term adjustments and customer enquiries
- Building strong relationships with clients and insurer partners
- Following up outstanding renewals and referrals
- Supporting business growth through proactive account management
- Contributing ideas to improve team performance and processes
