Development Executive

The Role

A leading national insurance broker is seeking a Development Executive to join its expanding South west team, covering the Exeter, Somerset and Dorset regions. This is a high-impact opportunity for an ambitious individual to build a profitable book of business with the backing of a well-resourced and growth-focused organisation.

The Development Executive will be responsible for generating and converting new business opportunities across commercial lines. This is a client-facing, relationship-driven role with a strong emphasis on proactive business development. The successful candidate will be expected to build a pipeline through a combination of self-generated activity and company-provided leads, ultimately establishing a sustainable and growing portfolio.

Lead generation is supported through a dedicated tele-sales function, internal referrals, marketing campaigns and data-led targeting tools. However, a self-starting mindset and the ability to originate opportunities independently are essential.

If you are currently an Account Handler looking to take the next step into a client-facing, business development role, this could be for you.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a national broker that combines entrepreneurial freedom with strong institutional support, ideal for individuals looking to accelerate their career in a high-performance environment.

At IDEX, we strive for an inclusion-first company culture where everyone is treated fairly and can bring their authentic selves to work. We recognise and acknowledge that diverse representation at every level of our business requires continuous and measurable effort. We are committed to driving conscious inclusion across our business and creating equitable pathways.
