You’ll be the trusted virtual sales partner for Specialist Intermediary firms within our Key Accounts channel, playing a central role in growing our Micro SME new business pipeline and turning high-quality opportunities into successful outcomes. Using digital channels as your primary way of working, you’ll build strong, meaningful broker relationships through engaging virtual meetings, new business reviews, product training and insightful portfolio performance discussions.

Working closely with our Business Development Managers and National Sales Manager, you’ll help strengthen strategic intermediary partnerships, spot new Micro SME opportunities through specialist firms and aggregators and use sales insight and data to drive conversion. You’ll keep everything clearly tracked in Salesforce to ensure strong pipeline visibility and momentum, and when it really counts, you’ll also get out with the field team on accompanied visits to support relationship growth and key opportunities.
