We’re looking for a confident and motivated Sales Executive to join a busy and supportive sales team in Southend on Sea.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys speaking with customers, building genuine rapport and turning conversations into sales. You’ll handle inbound enquiries from customers looking for the right level of insurance cover for their individual circumstances.

You’ll be keen to learn, receptive to coaching and motivated to develop your skills and earning potential within a supportive team environment.
Previous experience within insurance, medical insurance, financial services, regulated sales, contact centre sales or another consultative sales environment would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.
