Are you commercially minded, confident speaking with people and looking for a genuine long-term career in insurance sales?
Fintelligent is recruiting a Sales Executive for a successful specialist commercial insurance brokerage in Stockport. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with insurance, financial services, customer service or general sales experience to enter a professional, commercially focused industry with clear long-term progression.

You will gain exposure to the full new-business process while developing the technical knowledge and commercial skills needed to build a successful career in broking.
You will join a supportive but fast-paced office environment, working alongside experienced insurance professionals and dealing with both clients and insurers from day one. For the right person, this role offers a clear route into new-business sales, renewals, account handling and specialist technical broking.
