We're looking for an Account Executive to join our commercial broking team in Derby. This is a great opportunity to inherit an established book of clients while driving new business growth in a supportive, specialist environment.
We're open to different levels of experience, whether you're an established Account Executive or ready to step up from a Handler/Broking role, we want to hear from you.
What you'll be doing:
Manage and develop an inherited portfolio of commercial clients
Build strong, long-term relationships through regular contact, review meetings and proactive advice
Work closely with our broking and handling team to deliver high-quality service and technically sound insurance solutions
Drive new business, identify opportunities within your network and the local market, follow up on leads and support wider growth initiatives
Place and negotiate commercial insurance programmes, liaising with key insurer partners to secure the right cover and terms for clients
About You
We're flexible on exact level, but you'll bring:
Experience in commercial insurance (broker or insurer side), ideally with exposure to a mix of sectors such as construction, property owners and landlords, and manufacturing and motor trade
Confidence engaging with clients, building rapport and explaining insurance clearly and professionally
Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a varied workload and take ownership of your accounts
A proactive, commercial mindset, comfortable with new business and growth expectations as part of the role
Progress towards professional qualifications (e.g. CII) is an advantage, though not essential
What We Offer
A warm book of clients to inherit, with scope to grow and shape your own portfolio
Supportive leadership and a collaborative local team
Development opportunities for those looking to progress their technical and client-facing skills
Competitive salary and benefits, aligned to your experience and level

What We Do
Since our formation in 2015, PIB Group has been on a mission to create a leading position in the provision of specialist insurance solutions across the UK market and beyond. It’s been an exciting journey as we’ve remained focused and committed to delivering everything that we set out to achieve.

By bringing together companies and individuals recognised as leaders across a range of specialist markets, PIB can draw on their vast expertise and insights which in turn enables customers to enjoy the highest levels of service. That journey has led to PIB Group today being a highly diversified insurance distribution consolidator focusing on specialist commercial lines and non-standard personal lines products with deep expertise across both direct and B2B distribution through its broking, underwriting and network divisions. In 2021, PIB Group secured further investment from Apax partners (the ‘Apax Funds’) and re-investment from PIB’s existing investor since 2015 The Carlyle Group. The investments enable PIB to continue our ambitious growth plans.
