• Own and maintain a strong UK opportunity pipeline, ensuring clear actions, priorities and commercial momentum.

• Work closely with Underwriting to match broker opportunities with Relm’s appetite and capabilities.

• Lead broker meetings, market engagement and relevant industry events.

• Bring market intelligence, broker feedback and competitor insight back into the business to help shape our strategy.

• Partner with Marketing and Underwriting on broker campaigns, product messaging and targeted market initiatives.

• Track distribution performance and use data to identify where we should focus, invest and grow.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• Excellent commercial judgement, negotiation and relationship-building skills.

• Confidence operating with senior brokers, underwriters and internal stakeholders.

• A data-driven approach to pipeline management, forecasting and performance.

• The energy and adaptability to thrive in a growing, entrepreneurial business.

• Curiosity about new markets, emerging risks and where the next opportunity might come from.
