Job description

Most senior Corporate Account Directors don't leave because of money. They leave because they've stopped growing – usually because someone above them hasn't. If that sounds familiar, keep reading. This broker is looking for a senior operator who wants more than a portfolio to babysit. Someone who can handle £100k+ revenue cases and lift the capability of the wider team. Someone who can help shift the business towards larger, more complex clients over the next few years…levelling the whole team up, because that's your USP, your super power!

This isn't a "wait your turn" culture. Because you've got the right leadership behaviours, the role will evolve into Corporate Leader – shaped around your strengths rather than squeezed into a rigid job description.

What you'll be doing

• Running and growing relationships with big, complex corporate clients (think clients paying fee income of between £100k-£300k).
• Raising the game across the wider Corporate team.
• Sharpening pitch craft and helping (structure and) articulate a stronger risk management proposition.
• Being a genuine strategic voice, not just a handler of renewals.

You’ll suit this environment if you’ve come from a grown‑up, true corporate style operation where influence matters more than job titles. This isn't a hyper structured, hyper bureaucratic environment – if you love fluidity and the ability to help shape your own future rather than have it sculpted for you, this could be your jam.

What you’ll need

• Significant experience with large, complex corporate clients.
• The confidence to lead, challenge, coach and elevate those around you.
• A style people respect (not fear).
• The ambition to build something bigger than a personal book.

If your next move needs to be bigger than another portfolio reshuffle, let’s talk. Message me and we’ll have a confidential chat.
