Senior Commercial Insurance Broker (AVP / VP Level)

Location: Southern & Eastern Africa (multi-country scope)
Sector: Corporate & Specialty Insurance Broking

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing, globally backed insurance and risk advisory business that is redefining how corporate clients across Africa access insurance solutions.

Operating across multiple continents and industries, this organisation combines deep insurance expertise with real-economy exposure (logistics, commodities, energy, and supply chain), creating a unique and highly commercial broking environment.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact, revenue-generating role at AVP / VP level, with a mandate to build, scale, and lead client relationships across Southern and Eastern Africa.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Entrepreneurial platform with strong backing and global footprint
• Access to regional and international insurance markets and capacity
• Work alongside globally experienced insurance professionals
• Exposure to complex, multi-jurisdictional risk programmes
• A business actively investing in technology, data, and innovation
• Clear runway for career growth, leadership, and regional influence

Your Mandate

This is a true hunter–advisor role combining business development with strategic client advisory:

Business Development & Revenue Growth

• Originate and secure new corporate insurance business across the region
• Build a strong pipeline of mid-market and large corporate clients
• Develop relationships with CFOs, risk managers, and executive stakeholders
• Deliver consistently against ambitious revenue targets

Client Advisory & Structuring

• Design and structure tailored insurance and risk solutions
• Advise on programme optimisation, cost efficiency, and risk transfer strategies
• Lead negotiations with insurers across local and international markets

Market & Relationship Leadership

• Build and leverage relationships with insurers and underwriting partners
• Navigate multi-country insurance markets and regulatory environments
• Provide insight into regional risk trends and emerging opportunities

Client Ownership

• Lead key accounts and ensure exceptional client experience
• Drive retention, renewals, and long-term partnership value

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years in commercial insurance broking or corporate risk advisory
• Proven track record of originating and closing new business
• Strong exposure to corporate / multinational clients
• Experience across Southern and/or Eastern African markets
• Deep understanding of insurance programme structuring and placement
• Highly commercial, relationship-driven, and entrepreneurial mindset

The Ideal Profile

You are likely already operating at Senior Broker / Associate Director / VP level, looking for:

• Greater ownership of your client portfolio
• A platform to build something meaningful across Africa
• Access to more sophisticated and complex deals
• A business where performance and innovation are genuinely rewarded
