Business Development Manager 

Barker Munro Recruitment has a standout opportunity with a first class insurance business in Kent—an ambitious, well respected business known for its expertise, service excellence, and strong market presence. They’re now looking to bring in a driven Business Development Manager to accelerate growth, open new markets, and strengthen their commercial footprint across the region.

🌟 The Opportunity
This is a role for someone who thrives on building relationships, spotting opportunities before others do, and turning conversations into long term commercial wins. You’ll be the face of the business across Kent and the wider South East, representing a brand with a superb reputation and the capability to deliver.

🔑 What You’ll Be Doing
• Identifying, targeting, and converting new business opportunities across the insurance market
• Mapping and developing new sectors, niches, and distribution channels
• Building and nurturing strong, trust based relationships with brokers, partners, and clients
• Leading commercial conversations with confidence, clarity, and credibility
• Demonstrating strong negotiation skills to secure profitable, sustainable deals
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure seamless onboarding and delivery
• Acting as a brand ambassador, championing the company’s values and proposition

💼 What You’ll Bring
• Proven experience in business development within the insurance industry 
• A strong network or the ability to quickly build one
• Commercial acumen and a strategic mindset
• Excellent communication, influencing, and negotiation skills
• A proactive, self driven approach to generating new opportunities
• The confidence to represent a high performing, first class insurance brand

🎯 Why This Role Stands Out
• Join a respected, forward thinking insurance business with genuine growth plans
• Work with a leadership team that values initiative, ideas, and ambition
• Competitive package 
• Autonomy, trust, and the chance to make a visible impact

If you’re energised by growth, motivated by relationships, and ready to elevate your career with a top tier insurance business, this role offers the perfect platform, click APPLY NOW or drop us a line to open a conversation
