Join our specialist team as an Account Executive, supporting clients across a wide variety of commercial risks, including the more specialist coach, bus and haulage sectors. As part of a global leader in insurance, risk management and consulting, you'll work with established mid-market clients while developing your expertise within a highly respected and collaborative team. This is a broad commercial insurance role, managing and developing client relationships across a range of risks.
