This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished Corporate Insurance Broker / Account Director to step into a true leadership position with a high-growth, ambitious brokerage in Melbourne.

Our client is a progressive and fast-growing insurance brokerage with a clear vision to significantly expand its market presence over the coming years. As part of this growth strategy, they are seeking a Head of Corporate Risk to join the executive team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of the business.

This is not simply a portfolio management role - it is an opportunity for a senior broker who wants to influence strategy, mentor others, drive growth, and become a key figure within a high-performing organisation.

Why Join:

The Opportunity:

Reporting directly to the Managing Director/CEO, you will take ownership of the Corporate Risk division, managing a significant portfolio while leading growth initiatives across the business.

You will be responsible for maintaining and expanding key client relationships, driving new business opportunities, strengthening insurer partnerships, and supporting the development of the broader broking team.
The ideal candidate will be a respected “beacon” broker - someone with the technical expertise, commercial mindset, and personality to attract clients, inspire teams, and represent the business at the highest level.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a $600K–$750K corporate insurance portfolio
• Retain, develop, and grow key client relationships

You will bring:

• 8+ years’ experience within insurance broking
• Proven experience managing corporate or complex commercial clients
• Strong background in business development and portfolio growth
• Demonstrated success negotiating with insurers and markets
• Previous leadership, coaching, or mentoring experience
• Deep understanding of insurance products, underwriting, and risk solutions

What Makes This Different:

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond traditional broking and become a genuine business leader.
You will have the autonomy to influence strategy, build capability within the team, develop market opportunities, and help shape the next stage of growth for an ambitious brokerage.

If you are a senior broker looking for a platform where your expertise, relationships, and leadership ability will truly make an impact, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
