If you are a Senior Account Handler who wants a role where your experience is properly valued and where you can make a visible impact in a close-knit commercial team, this is well worth considering. It will suit someone who is technically strong, dependable with clients and comfortable taking ownership of a busy portfolio without needing constant direction.

This is the kind of opportunity that appeals to people who enjoy being trusted to get on with the job and do it well. You will be joining an established insurance environment where good handling matters, where relationships count and where a steady, capable professional can quickly become an important part of the team.

The opportunity

This Newton Abbot-based role offers broad involvement across commercial account handling, from renewals and mid-term adjustments through to day-to-day client servicing and insurer negotiation. You will be working closely with clients, insurers and internal colleagues, helping to keep business moving smoothly and ensuring service standards stay high.

For the right person, this offers a good balance of technical work, client contact and long-term stability.

What the role looks like

  • You will be managing commercial insurance business across a varied portfolio, handling renewals from initial review through to completion and supporting clients throughout the policy year.

  • The role needs someone who can stay organised, communicate clearly and deal with the detail properly, while also keeping a broader view of client needs and service delivery.

  • You will also be someone others can rely on, whether that means supporting Account Executives, helping less experienced colleagues or simply keeping control of your workload in a calm and professional way.

Responsibilities
  • Managing commercial insurance renewals from preparation through to placement

  • Handling mid-term adjustments, policy queries and day-to-day client servicing

  • Liaising with insurers to obtain terms and negotiate suitable outcomes

  • Preparing renewal reports, market submissions and policy documentation

  • Supporting Account Executives with ongoing portfolio management and client retention

  • Ensuring records, compliance requirements and documentation are maintained accurately

  • Helping to uphold service standards across the team and offering support to junior colleagues where needed

Who this could suit
  • An experienced Commercial Account Handler ready for a more senior position

  • An existing Senior Account Handler looking for a better long-term fit

  • Someone who is confident across general commercial insurance and enjoys managing both process and relationships

  • A technically capable insurance professional who takes pride in high standards and dependable delivery

The business
  • You would be joining an established insurance team in Newton Abbot with a professional and supportive working environment. It will suit someone who values stability, teamwork and the chance to do good quality work in a role with genuine substance.

Package / benefits
  • Newton Abbot-based role

  • Senior-level position within an established commercial team

  • Broad client-facing and technical account handling exposure

  • Supportive environment with long-term prospects

  • Opportunity to play a valued role in a well-run team

The next step

If you would be open to a confidential conversation, I would be happy to talk you through the details properly. This could be a very good move for someone who wants to be trusted, valued and part of a business where strong account handling still matters.
