Broking Account Executive European Business

London | Hybrid (3 days office / 2 days home)

Salary: £40,000 £55,000 (dependent on experience) + bonus

Our client is looking for an Account Executive to join their fast-growing Contingency Insurance team in London, supporting their European business with a particular focus on Italy. Working closely with the lead Business Producer, you'll play a key role in a niche, high-volume corner of the market: event cancellation insurance for music tours and festivals, alongside their wider contingency portfolio.

This is a hands-on, hybrid role combining documentation and account handling with a supporting broking function preparing quote slips and MRC documentation, progressing risks through PPL, and helping the producer approach underwriters and negotiate terms. It's best suited to someone who wants to get stuck in and deliver not just tick a box on the way to the next job title.

The London team is small, flat in structure, and fast-moving. You'll get direct exposure to senior brokers and real client relationships from day one.
