Job Description

Salary: £100,000 + Bonus 

Location: UK-based (remote with occasional travel to Colchester & client sites)

Application Deadline: 31st March 2026

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a well-established, high-growth insurance business specialising in auxiliary products and personal lines, now entering an exciting phase of expansion.

This is a senior, revenue-owning role where you’ll take full control of new business strategy and play a key part in scaling the organisation’s commercial success.

If you thrive on winning new business, leading from the front, and being rewarded for it - this is one to seriously consider.

The Role

As Head of Business Development, you’ll own the end-to-end new business function, from shaping strategy through to hands-on delivery and team leadership.

This is a player-manager role - you’ll set direction, but also be actively involved in building pipeline and closing deals.

Key responsibilities include:

• Defining and executing the new business strategy aligned to ambitious growth targets

• Driving revenue across insurance and ancillary product lines

• Personally generating and converting pipeline — prospecting, pitching, closing

• Leading, coaching, and scaling a high-performing BD team

• Building strong partnerships across insurers, MGAs, brokers, and affinity channels

About You

• Proven success in B2B insurance sales, ideally within auxiliary or personal lines

• Strong knowledge of insurance distribution models and partnerships

• Track record of exceeding sales targets individually and through a team

• Commercially sharp with a proactive, deal-focused mindset

• Confident in outbound business development and closing high-value deals

• Experienced leader who can motivate and drive performance

Why This Role Stands Out

• £100k base + strong bonus structure 

• Full ownership of the new business function

• High visibility and influence within a scaling organisation

• Flexible, UK-wide remote role with real autonomy

• Opportunity to work with major players across the insurance market

• A role where performance is genuinely rewarded
