Job Description

Introduction
At Gallagher, we help clients face risk with confidence because we believe that when businesses are protected, they’re free to grow, lead, and innovate. You’ll be backed by our digital ecosystem: a client-centric suite of consulting tools making it easier for you to meet your clients where they want to be met. Advanced data and analytics providing a comprehensive overview of the risk landscape is at your fingertips. Here, you’re not just improving clients' risk profiles, you’re building trust. You’ll find a culture grounded in teamwork, guided by integrity, and fueled by a shared commitment to do the right thing. We value curiosity, celebrate new ideas, and empower you to take ownership of your career while making a meaningful impact for the businesses we serve. If you’re ready to bring your unique perspective to a place where your work truly matters; think of Gallagher.

Overview

At Gallagher, we’re looking for an Account Director to join our Housing team. This is a home-based role where you’ll work closely with clients in the housing sector, helping them protect what matters most. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that’s committed to delivering tailored insurance solutions and exceptional service. If you’re passionate about building strong relationships and making a difference, this could be the role for you.


How you'll make an impact

In this role, you’ll manage a portfolio of housing clients, ensuring their insurance needs are met with bespoke solutions. You’ll lead client meetings, oversee account managers, and provide strategic advice to help clients manage risks effectively. You’ll also work closely with our development managers to identify new opportunities and grow our business. Your day-to-day will involve building trusted relationships, ensuring compliance with regulations, and delivering on service agreements.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Retaining and growing client accounts.
  • Developing and implementing client action plans.
  • Providing technical advice and support to clients and colleagues.
  • Collaborating with internal teams to deliver seamless service.

About You

Here’s what you’ll bring to the role:

  • A solid understanding of the insurance industry and housing sector.
  • The ability to explain complex issues in simple terms, whether in writing or in person.
  • Strong organisational skills to manage multiple clients and deadlines.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
  • Confidence in using tools like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
