Business Development Manager - Commercial Insurance, Redhill

We're hiring!

Do you want to work for a team who provides risk solutions to businesses across a large number of sectors within the UK? Does establishing contacts and developing client relationships at the highest level appeal to you?

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to join our team!

This is a hybrid role which provides the flexibility to work both virtually and from our Redhill office across the whole of the South of England.

Aon is in the business of better decisions

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.

As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What the day will look like

As a Business Development Manager in our Corporate team you will:

• Develop an understanding and appreciation of the prospect's business
• Establish the potential needs and be able to articulate Aon's risk management solutions for those needs in a professional way, utilising Aon's sector knowledge, such that we become the logical alternative to the incumbent broker; including industry sector rates and benchmarking, using tools such as GRIP
• Using information for similar sector clients and knowledge of their business, establish Aon's revenue basis and a proposal intended to provide a profitable return using the full range of Aon services
• Work with Project Management and Broking to ensure Aon deliver on our initial proposition - in addition, with overseas Aon offices where required
• Liaise with the Claims community to establish our Claims proposition for each new client
• Participation, and where required, leadership of service proposition proposals to prospects. The DM is expected to play a significant role in the customisation and quality control of the proposition and accompanying materials using Corporate Project Management as necessary
• Developing good working relationships with Aon specialists, and specifically in Client Management and Client services, thereby selecting the most suitable team to be presented to the prospect
• Compliance with Aon Corporate's Business Rules and Statutory/FCA regulations
• Responsible for working in accordance with the Aon UK Limited Risk Management Framework, and compliance with the Aon UK Limited policies, including participation in the management of risks (including completion of mandatory training) that may adversely affect the business, interests of reputation of any Group company

What Makes This Role Different

Typically, clients will be either a national or a multinational company, often with a global presence; the CEO and CFO's will be looking for a local relationship with their broker, who can provide an Aon wide, tailored approach.

You will need to develop a strong Aon internal network to understand and articulate the many innovative solutions available.

Corporate clients typically require tailored insurance programmes and associated risk management and risk transfer services. Besides being the insurance broker, the team provides clients with a claims service and advice on risk management across most industries, with specialisms in real estate, public sector, food and drink, mergers & acquisitions, retail, life sciences and wholesale.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Sales and Insurance experience are essential - preferably in new business
• Professional style - ability to impact and impress in 1:1 prospect meetings
• General commercial awareness
• Results focused
• IT literate with experience using databases
