Title: Commercial Broker
Salary: £40K - £50K
Location: Leeds/Hybrid
My client is a modern, people first commercial insurance brokerage. Built by experienced insurance professionals who were tired of the traditional, transactional approach to broking, they set out to create a business where clients are treated as partners, not policy numbers, and where the team behind the scenes is just as valued as the clients they protect.
The business has grown quickly, but never at the expense of its culture: relationships, integrity, and genuinely understanding a client's world still come before anything else.
As an independent broker, every recommendation made is unbiased and built entirely around what's right for the client not what suits an insurer's targets. The team works across a broad and interesting spread of sectors, including construction, care, real estate, farming and agriculture, transport and logistics, manufacturing, and renewable energy, giving brokers here genuinely varied day.
Leadership is hands-on, approachable, and invested in people's development — this isn't a business where you'll be a name on a spreadsheet. Employees are described as valued members working towards a shared goal, not "cogs in a machine," and that collaborative, supportive spirit runs right through the business.
What's on offer:
- Salary up to £50K
- Bonus structure.
- Enhanced Holiday
- Enhanced Pension
- Hybrid working
- Real investment in your professional development and career progression, fully support in any insurance related qualifications.
The Role: Commercial Insurance Broker

What you'll be doing
- Building and nurturing long-term relationships with a portfolio of commercial clients, becoming a trusted advisor rather than "just their broker"
- Understanding each client's business inside and out their risks, their sector, their ambitions to design insurance and risk management programmes that truly fit
- Negotiating with insurers on clients' behalf to secure the best possible cover and pricing, including bespoke policy wording where needed
- Reviewing and challenging existing insurance arrangements to continually improve client outcomes
- Supporting clients through the claims process, ensuring they feel looked after when it matters most
- Keeping on top of market trends, emerging risks, and sector developments to stay ahead for clients
- Working collaboratively with a wider team of specialists across risk management, claims, and various industry divisions
What my client is looking for
- Proven experience as a Commercial Insurance Broker or Account Executive, ideally with a book of business or strong technical broking background
- A genuine, client-first mindset someone who takes real pride in getting the right outcome, not just closing the deal
