SME Team Leader

Job Description:

This role has come about as part of a wider plan to strengthen and grow an established SME broking team within an independent insurance brokerage in the Nottinghamshire area.
The business is well established, has a loyal client base, and is now looking for someone who can take ownership of a small team while remaining hands-on with their own portfolio of clients. It's a genuine split role, combining leadership responsibilities with day-to-day broking.

A settled SME team that handles a mix of standard commercial risks. The role involves overseeing the team's performance, supporting development, and helping to grow the overall book, while still managing your own clients and staying close to the market.

You'll be responsible for the usual people-management duties such as coaching, workload management, and being a point of escalation, but this is not a role where you sit completely removed from the work. You'll continue to broker, handle renewals, and maintain client relationships yourself.

The business operates on a hybrid basis, with three days in the office and two from home. They value collaboration and visibility within the team, but also recognise the importance of flexibility.
This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys leading from the front and wants influence without stepping away from broking altogether.

This role will suit someone who already has experience in commercial broking and has either managed a team or taken on informal leadership responsibility.

They are looking for someone who:

• Has solid experience in SME commercial insurance
• Has managed or mentored a team, formally or informally
• Is comfortable handling their own portfolio of clients
• Has helped grow or develop a book of business
• Is organised, approachable, and confident supporting others
• Enjoys balancing leadership with hands-on work

• Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working: 3 days office-based, 2 days from home
• A leadership role with hands-on client responsibility
• An established SME team with room to grow
• Long-term opportunity within an independent brokerage
