Our client is a well-established Irish, family-owned insurance broker with over 40 years in the market and a national branch network. It offers a full range of commercial lines, backed by a strong insurer panel and dedicated propositions in sectors including construction, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate and technology.
The commercial team is growing, with clear plans to expand over the next five years. This role sits within that growth team in Dublin.
The role This is a front-line new business role. You will win new SME and commercial clients through outbound activity, building your own pipeline and taking opportunities from first contact through to bound cover.
