Job description

Overview

Are you a Trade Credit specialist who enjoys developing new opportunities, shaping propositions, and working in a dynamic, growth-focused environment?

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected independent insurance groups - a business that's expanding rapidly and investing heavily in its specialty lines, including Trade Credit, Surety and Political Risk.

The opportunity

Working alongside an experienced Director, you'll play a pivotal role in building out the Trade Credit proposition - both internally across the wider broking group and externally in the marketplace.

This is a genuine growth role: you'll combine technical trade credit knowledge with commercial drive, helping to grow revenue, develop new client relationships and raise awareness of trade credit as a core business line.

Key focus areas

• Partner with the Director to deliver the Trade Credit growth plan and strategy.
• Develop new business through your own network, referrals and cross-selling within the group.
• Engage with regional and corporate broking teams to promote Trade Credit opportunities and support client conversations
• Manage and service your own portfolio of clients, ensuring high retention and quality advice.
• Work closely with finance, credit and treasury teams to deliver tailored credit insurance solutions.
• Liaise with insurers to structure and negotiate effective programmes.
• Contribute to marketing, thought leadership and internal education around Trade Credit.

About the company

This independent insurance group combines the resources and reach of a national broker with the collaborative, people-first culture of an owner-managed business.

They're known for stability, strong client relationships and a reputation for doing things properly - but without the red tape of a corporate.

You'll be part of a team that genuinely values initiative, rewards performance, and gives you the autonomy to make an impact.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in Trade Credit insurance within a broking environment.
• Strong commercial instincts and a track record of developing new business.
• Confident communicator able to engage senior finance stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset - able to work across the wider broking group to generate opportunities.
• Organised, professional and motivated by growth and long-term client relationships.
• (Desirable) ACII/Dip CII or similar professional qualification.

What's on offer

• Competitive salary + bonus + benefits
• Hybrid working - South East offices & client travel across the UK
• Clear progression within a growing specialty team
• Supportive, entrepreneurial environment with real autonomy
