Job Description:
We’re working with a well-established insurance business to appoint a Client Director to take on an existing portfolio of mid-market commercial clients.
This is a role centred on ownership, continuity, and trusted relationships-ideal for someone who takes pride in looking after clients properly and becoming a dependable, long-term partner to their businesses.
The Role
*You’ll inherit a portfolio generating c. £350k-£400k income, made up of established clients across a broad mix of sectors within general commercial insurance.
*Clients are based across the Kent region and outer South East, with the office in Maidstone. The role is hybrid, combining time in the office with regular client visits.
*Your focus will be on maintaining strong relationships, understanding each client’s needs, and ensuring a consistent, high-quality service. This is not a volume-driven role-it’s about doing the right thing for clients and building long-term trust.
*You’ll also bring a strong technical grounding, acting as a credible point of reference when needed and contributing to the overall standard of delivery across the team.
Key Responsibilities
*Take ownership of an established portfolio of mid-market commercial clients
*Build trusted, long-term relationships through regular client engagement
*Provide clear, tailored advice across a range of commercial risks
*Ensure consistency and continuity in service delivery
*Work closely with internal teams to deliver a seamless client experience
*Offer technical input on more complex cases when required
About You
*Experience in a client-facing commercial insurance role
*Strong knowledge across general commercial insurance
*Comfortable managing an existing book and maintaining client relationships
*A steady, relationship-led approach with strong communication skills
*Confident, credible and able to build trust with clients quickly
*Happy working in a hybrid role with travel across the region
Culture & Environment
*This is a business built around people, relationships, and trust.
*Clients are long-standing and genuinely valued
*There’s a focus on consistency and doing things well, not quick wins
*You’ll be trusted to manage your portfolio with autonomy
*The team is collaborative, supportive, and down-to-earth
It’s an environment that suits someone who sees themselves as a safe pair of hands-someone clients rely on and colleagues respect.
Benefits
*26 days holiday plus bank holidays
*Pension scheme
*Support towards professional qualifications (CII / ACII)
*24-hour wellbeing support
*Flexible benefits tailored to you and your family, including health, lifestyle and protection options
*Additional perks such as gym discounts, medical cover and retail savings
If you’re looking for a role where you can take real ownership of client relationships and deliver a consistent, high-quality service, this is a strong opportunity to step into a well-established portfolio and make it your own.
