If you are a Senior Account Handler who wants a role where your experience is trusted and your contribution genuinely matters, this could be a strong next move. It will suit someone who knows how to keep clients looked after, how to manage commercial insurance work properly and how to bring calm control to a busy team without needing constant supervision.

This is the kind of opportunity that appeals to people who take real pride in the standard of their work. You will be joining an established commercial insurance environment where strong handling skills, sound judgement and dependable client service are properly valued. For someone who enjoys being the person others can rely on, there is plenty to get hold of here.

The opportunity

  • You will take on a senior handling role with broad involvement across renewals, day-to-day servicing, market negotiations and support for client relationships. The work will suit someone who is technically capable, organised and comfortable dealing with a varied portfolio of commercial insurance business.

  • There is also scope to add value beyond pure processing. This role needs someone who can keep business moving, communicate well with insurers and clients, and help maintain standards across the wider team.

Responsibilities
  • Managing commercial insurance renewals from initial review through to completion

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

  • Liaising with insurers to obtain terms and negotiate outcomes

  • Preparing renewal documentation, reports and market presentations

  • Supporting Account Executives with client retention and portfolio management

  • Ensuring records, documentation and compliance standards are maintained accurately

  • Acting as a senior point of contact within the team and supporting less experienced 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 environment or stronger long-term fit

  • Someone who is confident across general commercial insurance and enjoys managing relationships as well as processes

  • A technically strong insurance professional who takes a thorough, client-focused approach to their work

Package and benefits
  • Taunton/Bridgwater based role

  • Senior-level opportunity within an established commercial team

  • Broad client-facing and technical account handling exposure

  • Supportive working environment with long-term prospects

The next step

If this sounds like the sort of move you would be open to exploring, I would be happy to talk it through properly and in confidence. It could be a very good fit for someone who wants to be valued for their experience and trusted to do the job well.
