Detailed Description From Employer:

Development Executive - South Leeds - Hybrid

Build your own role properly. An independent brokerage in South Leeds is in serious growth mode and looking for commercially minded brokers with a genuine appetite for new business. This isn't a rigid job spec. They want people who can sit down with the MD, outline a clear plan for how they would build a book, what sectors they'd focus on, what support they'd need, and what success looks like. If the plan stacks up, they'll back it. The business has grown from £0 to £7m GWP in three years and completed multiple acquisitions along the way. It's commercially driven, decisive, and free from red tape. If you can justify an approach, you'll get support rather than pushback. You'll focus on developing and growing your own portfolio through referrals, networking, and proactive outreach, with the backing of an established infrastructure and leadership team that moves quickly. If you enjoy new business and want the freedom to build something properly, this is a conversation worth having.

Highlights
