Surety Bonds Leader

A unique role for a uniquely talented surety bonds leader

This is a unique opportunity requiring a highly specific set of skills and niche experience. In return, you’ll get outstanding rewards and a launchpad to boost your insurance career to soaring new heights.

About the role

This exciting opening for a talented surety bonds leader to lead the strategic development and management of a surety division comes with exceptional career-boosting potential. The newly-created role is pivotal to this fast-growing company’s ambitious and game-changing new business strategy. To thrive in the position, candidates should be innately business-minded, customer service-driven and results-oriented development executives with considerable experience in surety bonds.

You’ll deliver high quality expert advice and bespoke solutions to a diverse portfolio of clients - ranging from mid to large corporate enterprises - addressing their highly specific and specialised financial guarantee needs. The breadth of the role means that you’ll also have the opportunity to generate new business and open up new revenue streams for the company’s own highly specialised insurance products, as well as representing a 360 process for clients.

About the company

This role offers significant career progression opportunities as you’ll have the rare opportunity to join one of the UK’s most dynamic and expanding intermediary groups. 

This is a group which thrives on innovation, proactive client engagement and a relentless focus on delivering exceptional results across a wide range of business and commercial insurance products, and over a vast spectrum of industries. 

You’ll be working alongside respected industry leaders in a collaborative, highly professional corporate environment. Committed to cultivating and rewarding exceptional talent, the company actively fosters a culture of inclusivity and diversity. 

What you’ll bring

To thrive in this highly niche, specialist business you’ll need comprehensive knowledge of surety bonds at a senior executive/development level, coupled with a solid track record of developing and expanding a portfolio of clients. 

At this leadership level, only the highest standards of responsiveness, strategic vision, commitment to excellence, and a proven ability to drive business growth through exceptional client service are acceptable.

The company’s success has been built upon a foundation of deep client understanding and long-term partnerships. Working with sophisticated mid-corporate-level businesses, you’ll fully appreciate their unique risk profiles and tailored surety bond requirements. To ensure appropriate cover and the personal service required to ensure clients’ peace of mind across all stages of the process, you’ll quickly build in depth knowledge across clients’ insurance needs, build internal relationships and maximise referrals and income for the division. 

As a potential future growth solution is through acquisition or partnership, strong relationships with surety bonds brokers will be a significant advantage.

Maximising client value is crucial, so you’ll need to be a strategic thinker and exceptional communicator, equally adept at maintaining strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders. You’ll be collaborating closely with an established trade credit team, leveraging their network and expertise to maximise leads and internal referrals from across the company's specialist divisions, shaping the division's future from the ground up.   Some experience of operating in the wholesale market, and experience generating and developing new business will be a significant advantage.

What you’ll receive

The position is hybrid based, you can be based anywhere in the UK, leveraging their extensive network of offices in London and across the country. 

The rewards are very attractive. In addition to a competitive executive-level salary, there’s a comprehensive incentive package with substantial commission incentive tied to new business acquisition and portfolio growth, and a significant annual bonus. 

There’s also a generous benefits package, including: 

• 10% employer contribution pension (5% employee)
•  26 days’ holiday + bank holidays 
•  Private medical insurance  + many more benefits!
