Are you a natural salesperson looking for your next big move?

You don't need insurance experience. You need drive, resilience, and a genuine track record of hitting targets and building relationships that stick.

Our client — an international insurance brokerage with a thriving local office in Poole — is looking for ambitious, high-performing sales professionals ready to step into a structured career path toward becoming a fully qualified Account Executive (Broker). Full training and mentoring will be provided; industry qualifications (CII) will be funded and supported throughout.

This is a genuine opportunity to move from a standard sales role into a respected, well-paid professional career with real longevity — commercial insurance broking offers some of the strongest long-term earning potential in the local sales market, backed by an uncapped commission structure once qualified.

What you'll be doing

• Learning the fundamentals of commercial insurance broking from experienced Account Executives
• Building and managing your own pipeline of prospects and leads
• Developing client relationships through calls, meetings and site visits
• Progressing toward running your own book of business and closing new business instructions
• Working toward CII qualifications with full company support

What we're looking for

• A proven track record in a target-driven sales environment (any industry — B2B experience is a strong plus)
• Confidence building relationships and negotiating face-to-face and over the phone
• Resilience, self-motivation, and genuine hunger to progress
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• A full UK driving licence (client visits are part of the role)
• Based within, or able to easily commute to, the Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch area

What's in it for you

• A funded, structured career path into a professional broking/AE role
• Full CII qualification support — no cost to you
• Uncapped commission once established in the role
• Mentoring from experienced Account Executives
• Long-term career stability in a respected local firm within a national group
• Supportive, collegiate team environment

Why apply

This is a rare route into commercial insurance broking that doesn't require you to already be "in insurance." If you're already excellent at sales and want a career with a genuine ceiling higher than most, this is built for you.
