Account Manager - General Insurance
Permanent | Base Salary plus competitive OTE
With continued growth plans for the coming year, we are inviting applications for the position of Account Manager within on our General Insurance (GI) provider team. You will be part of a team that brings our products to life with data and gives insight on product design and management, understanding consumers, governance and marketing products. This is a commercial role that will see you working closely with the largest institutions in the UK.
At Defaqto, we are on a mission to empower everyone to make smarter financial decisions, and we want you to be a part of our exciting journey to become the #1 provider in the UK. We are committed to excellence, not only in our people but also across our diverse portfolio of products:
So, why join Defaqto?
- Impactful Work: Every year, we support over 50 million financial decisions with a combined value exceeding £80 billion. Your contributions will directly influence and shape the financial landscape.
- Exciting Growth Opportunities: Our recent acquisition by Fintel PLC and ambitious growth plans mean Defaqto is set to double in size over the next 3-4 years, meaning more opportunity for you to grow and develop.
- Collaborative Culture: Collaboration is not just encouraged, but celebrated. We believe in a supportive environment where ideas are valued, and skills are recognised.
You can be fully remote, hybrid or office based (Haddenham). The team is remotely based.
The Role
This role will provide an opportunity to contribute to the overall success of Defaqto as you will be part of a team, which manages the commercial relationship between Defaqto and General Insurance providers. You will make sure they continue to purchase and use our software and our marketing solutions and by supporting each account in maximising the investment they make in our products and services, you will identify new opportunities to increase income.
You will manage a portfolio of our client base and ensure that they are maximising the value from our products and actively seek out new ways of extending their investment in our solutions. Key to your success will be to raise awareness and understanding of Defaqto and be able to articulate and coordinate the delivery of solutions that will help clients attain their business goals.
You will need to regularly travel to client offices and develop strong working relationships to be successful and as you build on your existing general insurance product knowledge, you will be able to position Defaqto's expertise and insight across the various functions within the client organisation.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- An understanding of general insurance products and their distribution in the UK
- To be able to demonstrate a good understanding of how intelligence led decision making drives better outcomes
- Experience of selling software as a service, and subscription based sales - this is desirable rather than essential
- To have demonstrable success in previous similar roles within the general insurance sector
If you are looking for your next step up in to account management or looking to build on your existing experience and you have experience working in the general insurance sector, then we'd be delighted to hear from you.
You will need a valid UK Driving Licence and to be able to travel with overnight stays as and when required. As well as travel to client sites, there is a a regular monthly meeting onsite at our Defaqto offices in Haddenham and this will involve an overnight stay.
Finally, you will be comfortable carrying a target, be personable and inquisitive with a need to know more and be determined and resilient.
