Client Director / PI Lead (Design & Construct) - Substantial Inherited Portfolio

Description

Despite benefiting from being part of one of the world’s largest broking houses, this specialist team feels more akin to that of a boutique practice – it has been granted unrivalled levels of autonomy, is deeply committed to the niches that it serves, and is able to quickly adapt to changes in a fast-paced market. Accordingly, it arranges the insurances in relation to some of the highest profile builds in the country, as well as those overseas.

Due to the continued acquisition of quality accounts, the need has arisen for a Client Director / PI Lead to join the team in a senior capacity. As such, this is a high profile role where you will be working with some of the most talented insurance professionals in the market, and your success will obvious to a variety of stakeholders; including this global’s broker’s ‘top brass’ and C-Suite individuals from some of biggest firms within Construction, Infrastructure and Engineering etc.

Here, you will inherit a substantial portfolio of clients (both annual programmes, and one-off projects) such as Architects, Consulting Engineers and Contractors, including some of the largest privately-owned and publicly-listed companies within their respective fields. You will act as the senior point of contact for all relevant clients, leading conversations around programme design and strategy, and, with the supported of a team of truly gifted financial lines specialists, ensure that programmes remain robust. Where gaps in cover are identified, you will suggest innovative ways to obtain comprehensive cover to mitigate these.

As a senior member of the team, you will be expected to act as an advocate of PI for this global’s offering to all stakeholders, promote the business across the industry, help create a positive and energised environment, and support the development of less-experienced colleagues. For those who wish to adopt formal management responsibilities of colleagues within the team, this can certainly be accommodated.
This role comes with a high degree of autonomy and flexible-working, but as you are a senior member of the team, you will need to come into the office occasionally, in order to develop strong relations with your colleagues.

As one would expect, it is essential that you have an extremely detailed knowledge of Professional Indemnity insurance, as well as an understanding of the wider financial lines landscape. You must be a credible brand ambassador who can act as a figurehead within the industry and build a professional rapport with clients, as well as a deep technical understanding of their exposures to risks and the challenges facing their businesses.

As one would expect from such a senior Client Director style role, you will receive a highly competitive basic salary plus 20% bonus. You will also receive an impressive flexible-benefits package that can be tweaked to suit your skills, experience and ambitions.
