Business Manager

Overview

Business Manager - Commercial Distribution – Markerstudy Insurance - SME Distribution. Remote or Hybrid – with travel.

Markerstudy is one of the UK's leading insurance groups, with a fast-growing Commercial and SME distribution business. We're now looking for a Business Manager to support the MD, providing hands-on support across planning, reporting, governance and delivery.

This is a highly visible role at the heart of the Commercial leadership team. You'll act as the MD's right-hand support, keeping priorities on track, ensuring meetings are effective, and making sure key actions, projects and communications are on track.

• Act as the MD's central point of coordination across the Commercial Distribution business
• Prepare leadership, committee and management meeting packs, agendas, reports and presentations
• Attend senior meetings with the MD, taking accurate minutes and tracking actions through to completion
• Research, prepare and refine presentations, briefing notes and speaker packs for the MD
• Manage the flow of information into and out of the MD's office, coordinating responses across the business
• Support business planning, performance tracking and reporting across the Commercial Distribution unit
• Coordinate communications on behalf of the MD, working with internal communications where required
• Support key projects that sit within the MD's strategic priorities
• Help deliver new systems, tools and ways of working into the Commercial Distribution team
• Support governance processes, including contracts, approvals and expense sign-off

This role suits someone who enjoys being close to senior leaders and wants to build strong commercial and strategic exposure, without needing to be from a heavy corporate background.

• Experience supporting a senior leader (MD, Director or Executive) in a business, operations, PMO or commercial support role
• A background in insurance, financial services, professional services or another regulated or fast-moving environment
• Strong skills in PowerPoint, Excel and producing professional documents
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and sitting in leadership meetings
• The ability to organise, prioritise and keep multiple work streams moving

You'll be working right at the heart of a growing Commercial insurance business, supporting a senior MD and helping shape how the function operates. It's a brilliant platform for someone who wants exposure to strategy, leadership and commercial decision-making - without being in a purely administrative role.
