New Business Insurance Consultant - #2079259

NEW BUSINESS INSURANCE CONSULTANT

Location: Greater Manchester (Hybrid)
Salary: £30K - £40K basic salary + uncapped bonus + comprehensive benefits package

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity for a driven Commercial Insurance Sales Professional to join a highly respected specialist insurance and risk management business during a significant period of Northern growth.

We are partnering with a specialist Commercial Insurance group operating across the Transport & Logistics, Construction, and Waste & Recycling sectors, as they continue to expand their regional footprint with the opening of a new North West office.

This role is ideal for an ambitious and proactive individual with strong commercial insurance sales experience who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities, and opening doors with senior decision-makers.

Importantly, this is not a high-volume scripted telesales or automated dialler environment. Instead, this is a consultative and relationship-led business development role requiring credibility, commercial awareness, and the ability to engage professionally with businesses across multiple specialist sectors.

The successful individual will play a key role in driving new business growth by generating and qualifying opportunities for Account Executives and Client Directors to attend, whilst helping to strengthen the company's wider market presence across the North.

The Role

As New Business Insurance Consultant, you will be responsible for proactively identifying, engaging, and developing relationships with prospective commercial insurance clients across a range of specialist sectors.

Using a combination of outbound calling, LinkedIn networking, email campaigns, market research, and existing CRM and lead generation tools, you will secure high-quality appointments and business opportunities for senior members of the broking team.

You will work closely with Account Executives, Client Directors, Marketing, and leadership teams as part of a highly collaborative growth strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Business Development & Lead Generation

• Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline activity, and opportunity tracking
• Work collaboratively with marketing and leadership teams on campaigns and target market activity
• Support wider regional growth objectives through proactive market engagement and business development initiatives

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience within a Commercial Insurance sales or business development role is essential
• Strong Commercial Insurance knowledge across multiple classes of business
• Proven experience generating and developing new business opportunities within a Commercial Insurance environment
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and consultative sales skills
• Highly proactive, self-motivated, and commercially driven
• Comfortable engaging with senior decision-makers and business owners
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage pipeline activity effectively
• Experience using CRM systems, LinkedIn, and lead generation tools
• Ability to work collaboratively within a fast-paced and growth-focused environment

Applications are welcomed from individuals currently operating within commercial insurance brokerages, business development teams, lead generation functions, or client acquisition-focused insurance roles.

Why Join?

• Join a highly respected specialist insurance business with strong market reputation and ambitious growth plans
• Opportunity to play a key role within a growing Northern operation
• Collaborative and supportive environment with strong leadership backing
• Genuine long-term progression opportunities into senior business development or client-facing roles
• High-quality specialist market focus rather than high-volume scripted sales activity
• Operate within a professional, relationship-led commercial environment
