Account Executive – Real Estate & Construction Insurance

Job description

Account Executive – Real Estate & Construction Insurance

Location: London, Birmingham or Manchester (flexible)

The Opportunity

We are working with a highly regarded, independent insurance group to appoint a senior Account Executive into its well-established Real Estate & Construction division.

This is a key strategic hire within a division that has been successfully operating for several years and continues to invest heavily in long-term growth. The role has been created to support organic expansion and to further position the business as a leading specialist within the real estate insurance market.

The firm offers the best of both worlds: the agility and culture of an independent broker combined with the scale, infrastructure, and international reach typically associated with much larger organisations.

The Role

The successful individual will take responsibility for a portfolio of larger, complex real estate and construction clients, allowing you to hit the ground running from day one while also focusing on future growth.

Key responsibilities include:

• Inheriting and managing a high-quality, complex client portfolio across real estate and construction risks
• Acting as a trusted adviser, delivering tailored insurance solutions and strategic risk advice
• Driving organic growth within existing accounts and selectively developing new business
• Working closely with internal broking, claims, and specialist teams to deliver a seamless client experience
• Utilising the firm’s international market access and global capabilities where required
• Contributing to the ongoing development, profile, and market positioning of the real estate division

This role offers genuine autonomy, influence, and the opportunity to build a long-term presence within a growing practice.

About You

You will be an experienced insurance professional with a qualified background in Real Estate and Construction insurance, comfortable handling sophisticated client requirements and operating in a senior advisory capacity.

You will likely bring:

• Proven experience managing large, complex real estate and/or construction insurance programmes
• Strong client relationship management and stakeholder engagement skills
• A commercial, growth-oriented mindset with an interest in developing new opportunities
• Relevant professional insurance qualifications (or working towards)
• Confidence, credibility, and the ability to operate as a trusted adviser to senior clients

What’s on Offer

• Excellent base salary, competitive at a senior market level
• Bonus structure above market standards, designed to strongly incentivise new business and account growth
• Long-term incentive plan aligned with sustained performance and career progression
• Flexible office base: London, Birmingham or Manchester
• A collaborative, supportive culture with access to senior leadership
• International reach and support for clients with global exposures
