Overview

Are you ready to take the next step in your insurance career?

 

Join our supportive and ambitious team of Insurance Account Executives at Gallagher’s Chichester office. As part of a global leader in insurance, risk management and consulting, you’ll work with established mid to large corporate clients while continuing to grow your career in a collaborative, high‑performing environment.

 

Our Chichester team is a close‑knit, technically strong group specialising in mid‑corporate business, with a heavy focus across construction and manufacturing alongside broader cross‑class exposure.

 

This is a team that goes far beyond placing cover. Our Chichester office takes a technically driven, deep‑dive approach to understanding risk, focusing on insight and quality rather than quick quotes. You’ll be encouraged to get under the skin of complex exposures, build real technical confidence, and deliver solutions that genuinely make a difference.

 

The culture here empowers you to take ownership, understand the detail, and develop the credibility of a trusted advisor, not just a broker processing business.

 

If you’re looking for a role where you can work with complex mid‑corporate clients, develop real technical depth, and be part of a close‑knit, high‑performing team, we’d love to hear from you!
