Business Development Executive - Cheadle at Jensten Group · Cheadle…

Jensten is an ambitious, growing insurance broking group with the backing, investment and ambition to challenge the established market.

Our mission to be the UK’s leading independent insurance broker has been significantly accelerated since our acquisition by Bain Capital allowing us to grow while maintaining what makes Jensten special – our people, our entrepreneurial spirit and our commitment to clients.

Our people are at the heart of what we do, partnering with clients everyday to give the best risk management advice to support their evolving business needs. We believe great businesses are built by great people and that’s why we’re investing in talent individuals who want to make a difference, take ownership and play an important role in shaping our future.

With a new leadership structure in place we have a team of brilliant, entrepreneurial individuals leading the organisation who have a real passion for what they do and the belief that having the right people enabled to do what is right for clients will build success.

That vision combined with the investment from Bain Capital gives us the opportunity to invest in talented individuals who want to build something special, whether that is through building a new division, starting a new specialism, or having deeper technical knowledge in our existing markets.

And that’s where you come in, if you have the drive and passion to make things happen we have the platform for you to deliver that success.

Regional Broking Opportunity;

Our Regional Broking division is a network of over 30 offices across the UK, ensuring we are geographically close to our clients, communities and local markets. We believe that local knowledge, strong relationships and specialist expertise are fundamental to delivering the right outcomes for our clients. Our teams combine the personal service of a local broker with the scale, expertise and resources of a growing national network.

As part of our ongoing investment in growth we are looking for experienced business development individuals with a proven track record of winning new clients and building a profitable book of business across the SME and/or Mid-Market insurance sectors.

This is an opportunity to do more than simply generate new business. We want people who are entrepreneurial, commercially minded and passionate about developing client relationships and creating long-term value.

We have a varied portfolio of clients and industry sectors, from supporting SME’s on their general commercial coverage through to niche industry sector clients who value bespoke consultancy advice on their risk management strategy.

However, we are not looking to put people into predetermined boxes. We’re interested in your experience, your relationships and where you see the greatest opportunities for growth. We want to understand what you could build at Jensten.

What Makes Jensten Different;

The platform to succeed – you’ll have access to an established network of more than 30 regional offices, experienced broking teams and specialist technical expertise. You’ll be able to focus on what you do best with clients knowing there is an expert team behind you.

The freedom to be entrepreneurial – we want people who think commercially, who can make opportunities a reality and can take ownership of their success.

Autonomy – you will have the autonomy to develop your own portfolio, explore new client opportunities and build a proposition that really plays to your expertise.

The opportunity to make a long term impact – we’re investing in the future of our business and want talented individuals who can influence our direction, develop new opportunities and potentially build teams and/or take on leadership responsibilities in the future.

Our people - Jensten is made up of brilliant people who are not only technically excellent in their chosen specialism, but also great people who really care about what they do and building a great environment to work in. You’ll be working alongside industry leaders who share a clear ambition to build something exceptional.

Your opportunity – your ambition will be matched by the opportunity and support available at Jensten.

What is next?

We are interested in people who want to make things happen. If you have the proven ability to build a successful commercial client portfolio within the SME and/or Mid Market insurance sectors we’d love to talk with you about what you could build at Jensten.

About Us:

Jensten is one of the UK’s leading insurance intermediary groups, known for putting clients and people first. Since launching in 2018, we’ve built a standout business in a crowded marketplace — combining scale, deep technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.

Jensten is entering an exciting new chapter, with the business evolving into two clearly defined trading divisions: Broking and Product & Distribution. The Broking division will bring together Regional Broking, Specialist Lines & London Markets, and also Network Broking- while Product & Distribution will unite Jensten’s market-leading Schemes & Affinity businesses with Jensten Underwriting. This will enable us to deliver tailored insurance solutions directly to clients and through a network of trusted third‑party broking partners.

Thanks to strong organic growth and a strategic acquisition programme, Jensten is now a Top 10 Independent Broker, placing around £600 million GWP into the market. We employ over 1,000 colleagues across 50 locations across the UK and Ireland and support 93 entrepreneurial franchise holders nationwide.

Our purpose — “Protecting today, empowering tomorrow” — reflects the role we play for our clients, our communities and each other. Our people bring this to life every day through our values: Caring, Curious, Skilled and Bold.

We sit in a unique space between large consolidators and local brokers — big enough to offer capability and influence, yet agile enough to maintain the culture, autonomy and client focus of a truly independent business
