Commercial Manager - Growth
Maidstone | Commercial Insurance
Drive Growth. Influence Performance. Shape the Future.
We're looking for a commercially driven insurance leader to join our Maidstone SME business as Commercial Manager focused on growth.
This is not a traditional management role. We're looking for someone who can create momentum, inspire commercial thinking and help our teams unlock more opportunity from the clients they already support. You'll be at the heart of our growth strategy, coaching colleagues, improving client conversations and helping drive sustainable revenue growth across the branch.
Working closely with the Branch Director and wider leadership team, you'll play a key role in building a high-performing growth culture where commercial success, client outcomes and long-term relationships go hand in hand.
What We're Looking For
You'll be able to demonstrate:
- A strong background in commercial insurance
- Success in sales, business development or growth-focused leadership roles
- Experience growing revenue through existing client relationships
- A proven ability to coach, mentor and influence others to improve performance
- Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
- Commercial acumen with the ability to turn data and insight into action
- Confidence working with clients, insurers and internal stakeholders alike
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to shape the commercial performance of a successful branch and have a direct impact on its future growth.
You'll join a business that values collaboration, leadership and entrepreneurial thinking, giving you the platform to make a visible difference while helping colleagues and clients achieve more
