Job Description
Lead a team, shape success - without managing a portfolio.

We're working with a forward-thinking insurance broker looking to appoint a Commercial Director to lead and develop a team of 9 Account Executives in their Haverhill office. This is a leadership role focused on people, performance, and strategic support - not portfolio management. You'll coach and guide your team, support on complex client work, and help shape the commercial direction of the branch. You might come from a broking background - perhaps you've walked the path of an Account Executive yourself - or you might bring leadership experience from the insurer side. Either way, you'll be a natural leader who thrives on helping others succeed.

What you'll be doing:
  • Lead and inspire a team of 9 Account Executives
  • Mentor and support - providing strategic input on key client opportunities
  • Drive growth and retention across the commercial book
  • Influence placement strategy and strengthen insurer relationships
  • Own the team's performance - delivering against branch objectives
What we're looking for:
  • A proven leader from either a broking or commercial insurer background
  • Strong commercial understanding and a strategic mindset
  • A collaborative and empowering management style
  • Someone who's confident stepping away from their own client portfolio to focus on leading others
What's in it for you:

A true leadership role within a supportive and ambitious regional team. You'll have the chance to make a real impact - shaping the team's direction, supporting their success, and helping grow the business in a sustainable and client-focused way.
