Following continued growth across the region, we’re pleased to offer a permanent opportunity to join our London & South-East Distribution Team as an Account Manager.

In this role, you’ll act as a business partner to a defined panel of intermediaries across the South-East, helping to profitably grow our footprint across multiple UK product lines.

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact.

What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.

You will have own responsibility for a panel of intermediaries across London, Essex, Kent and the wider South-East region. Your focus will be on profitable growth, visibility across the market, and strong partnership engagement - externally with brokers and internally across underwriting teams.

• Participate in internal and external meetings to shape strategy, share insights, and contribute best practice.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of insurance guidelines, policy changes, and market developments; recommend improvements where appropriate.
• Represent QBE within the broker market, promoting our products and strengthening our reputation.
• Review performance and service standards with intermediaries, identifying improvement or growth opportunities.
• Act as the broker’s internal representative — collaborating closely with Underwriting, Heads of Trading and other stakeholders.
• Identify growth areas using data‑led insights; support new business and prospecting activity across the region.
• Develop, negotiate, and execute Account Approach plans in line with wider channel strategy.

• Strong track record delivering against commercial, sales, or growth targets within General Insurance.
• Proven ability to influence, negotiate, and build meaningful intermediary relationships.
