Our client operates in over 20 countries and is renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. Currently enjoying 20% year on year growth, and with plans to double in size over the next 5 years, this is an opportune time to join this market-leading insurer.
This exciting role has arisen for a Senior Business Development Manager to join the company's growing Partnerships Team. This specialist team provides insurance (and related products and services) to some of the largest associations in the world, and this a key distribution channel that is very much a growth mode.
This is a new business role covering all Partnership lines, including but not limited to, Tax and Business Advice offerings, Commercial Legal Expenses products and Financial Lines insurance.

The Director cites", we have an extremely healthy pipeline of new business prospects for someone to nurture."
You'll develop the Partnership proposition in line with new business campaigns and build a pipeline of new business prospects, whilst forging solid relationships with key internal teams, including underwriting, claims, marketing, compliance and legal. You'll also develop awareness of competitor activity, providing feedback into the channel and marketing team. You'll be the centre point for all new business enquiries that are driven from multiple sources, including internally from across the wider network, marketing campaigns, referrals and your own network.
It's essential that you are an experienced Business Development Manager, with exposure to the Partnerships / Affinities / Schemes distribution model. We will consider talented candidates from insurers, MGAs or brokers, and from either a commercial or personal lines background. Just as importantly, you'll be self-motivated, consultative, and passionate about cultivating relationships, whilst collaborating with a range of stakeholders.

Due to its significant growth, promotions are literally taking place within this organisation on a daily basis. Many people who join this company cite, "this is the best place I have ever worked at".
