It is our dedication and commitment to our customers, governance, and our service provision that has led Start Rescue to be the only recovery company to be endorsed as a Which? Recommended Provider for Breakdown services for 7 years running, whilst we are also pleased to be endorsed as a Which? Trusted Trader for all three of our growing brands.

Role Purpose

We are seeking a proactive, commercially minded individual to take ownership of our Business/Fleet Breakdown Policy growth. This role is responsible for building a robust sales pipeline, managing lead generation activity, driving conversion, and developing ongoing relationships with prospective clients.

Starting as a standalone position with support from existing Customer Service Representative Team, the role will develop into a team-leading position as the portfolio grows.

Review policy wording regularly and make recommendations for improvements or enhancements.
Implement and maintain appropriate client communications.

Operational Responsibilities

Manage workflow efficiently to ensure sales processes run smoothly from initial contact to onboarding.
Maintain strong relationships with Customer Service Representatives and other internal teams to ensure seamless customer experience.
Produce regular performance reports, including lead volume, conversion rates, revenue growth, and customer trends.

Desirable

Experience within fleet sales, insurance, breakdown services, fleet management, or related industries.
