Another huge win means phenomenal growth for this international broking firm based in the UAE.

If you take pride in your technical knowledge/expertise and are keen to support a corporate Account Executive team, this amazing chance to gain international experience together with opportunities for career development and a tax free salary could be for you.



Our client is the largest privately owned international independent brokerage, with 58 offices globally. They specialise in risk management, insurance and employee benefits, tailoring solutions to the unique needs of their clients worldwide by structuring and negotiating comprehensive coverage offering the best price and service possible.



Due to phenomenal growth in their UAE region, they are seeking an experienced Technical Account Handler to join their growing established team in Abu Dhabi. Reporting to the Corporate Account Executives, you'll be providing key behind the scenes technical support to Account Executives, enabling them to service key corporate/commercial clients across multiple business streams in this emerging market.



This varied role will see you handling daily insurance operations including new business, existing policy maintenance, renewals and mid-term services. You'll be negotiating with underwriters and providing a full high level technical advice service to clients via the Account Executives on a regular basis. Additional responsibilities include compliance issuance writing and reports, insurance register preparation, market preparations, policy documentation and supporting document information. This is not a client facing role but a behind the scenes role requiring a dedicated support person to manage all the daily transactional requirements.



To successfully undertake this role, ideally you'll have come from an underwriting background (property/liability/construction) where you gained your high level technical knowledge and then transitioned this to the broking market or you'll have a minimum of 5 years experience in an account handler role supporting Account Exec's with high level technical experience working with large corporate/commercial insurance. Essential to this role is detailed technical understanding of corporate F&G business insurance across all business streams although predominantly property, liability and construction. You'll have the ability to build relationships with insurers, work well under pressure, be able to prioritise and manage your time effectively to meet deadlines. Ideally you'll be tertiary qualified, possess a sound knowledge of the insurance market (including global markets) and how they are structured. Insurance qualifications or progression towards completion is desirable. The ability to travel and be a team player is essential.



This is an exciting opportunity to take your NZ or Australian insurance experience out into the international market. Abu Dhabi has a culture which will require you to adapt to new business customs/practices and you'll need to hit the ground running. In return, our client offers a unique opportunity with great prospects for career development and a competitive salary package.
