Overview

In this role, you’ll manage a book of client accounts and build trusted relationships with the people you work with every day.

Day to day, you’ll manage a live book of business, respond to client needs, and bring in the right support when a situation needs extra attention. You’ll also work to protect retention and spot chances to add more value through extra services or higher levels of cover.

Alongside client work, you may help coordinate administrative and customer service support, and you may support an Account Executive or Broker Producer. Your focus will be on keeping clients informed, making sure important issues are handled quickly, and helping each account move forward in the right way.
