Burton Recruitment

Ever wanted to work somewhere that feels like the sweet spot between corporate stability and actually knowing your colleagues' names? Our client, a highly respected insurance broker, is growing fast and looking for a talented Corporate Account Handler to join their commercial division - with a real focus on carving out your expertise in the real estate sector. This isn't just another account handler role. You'll be managing a portfolio of commercial and personal policies, but here's where it gets interesting - you'll have genuine autonomy to build your specialism in real estate insurance, becoming the expert your clients turn to for property-related risks. Think landlords, property investors, commercial premises, and everything in between. It's the perfect environment to develop deep sector knowledge whilst working for a company that's big enough to offer proper career progression, but small enough that your contributions actually get noticed. What you'll be doing day-to-day: You'll be the trusted advisor for clients with property portfolios and real estate interests, managing everything from policy amendments and renewal reviews to new business quotations. This means building long-term relationships (not just ticking boxes), ensuring customers receive first-class service, and continuously expanding the local business within the real estate sector. You'll handle the detail-heavy stuff - because let's face it, accuracy matters when you're dealing with property risks - whilst also spotting opportunities to grow accounts and exceed expectations. What we're looking for: You'll need at least two years under your belt in commercial insurance account management, with a genuine understanding of how the commercial insurance world works. If you've already got experience or interest in real estate insurance, even better - but mostly we're looking for someone eager to specialise and become a real authority in this area. You're naturally organised, deadline-driven, and have that rare ability to manage multiple priorities without breaking a sweat. More importantly, you're someone who genuinely enjoys building rapport with clients - you don't just process policies, you become their trusted partner. We're also looking for someone committed to developing their professional credentials (working towards or holding CII qualifications), because this role offers real scope to specialise in real estate and progress internally. You'll need to be comfortable with industry software and adaptable enough to learn new systems as the business evolves. Why this opportunity stands out: Aside from a highly competitive salary, you'll benefit from uncapped commission (yes, actually uncapped) and genuine opportunities to develop as a real estate insurance specialist with clear internal progression. This is a mid-sized corporate with the resources to invest in your development and the agility to actually let you grow into a niche expert. If you're ambitious, detail-oriented, and ready to build your career around a genuine area of specialism, this could be exactly what you're looking for.
