You will join a high-performance, industry-leading distribution team, where your impact is visible, your voice matters, and your success directly shapes Allianz Commercial’s growth trajectory.

Development of existing Broker relationships (Global & Key Regional Brokers) and portfolio in close cooperation with Allianz Commercial LoBs. Active steering of broker portfolios. Develop balanced pipeline with target accounts / submissions to fulfil financial targets and desired business mix.
Be a central entry point into Allianz Group for Allianz Commercial clients and steer overall client relation based on OneAllianz approach. Clearly articulate the Allianz Commercial multi-line business offering and benefits to deliver Upsell and Cross Sell opportunities.
Identify opportunities with other Allianz Group businesses to provide overall client solutions and revenue synergies to the business.
Provide market intelligence for developing innovative solutions for our client’s needs. Proactively develop in depth client and industry expertise and use to challenge the client and uncover un-stated needs.

What You’ll Bring to the Role

Degree in a related field (e.g. Economics, Law, Industrial Insurance) and/or qualification as an insurance professional ('Versicherungskaufmann/-frau').
Highly experienced in corporate insurance and managing industrial accounts.
In-depth knowledge/understanding of client’s business including experience with brokers.
Capability to establish trustful and long-term relationships with customers and brokers.
Successful track record with (new) clients in the industrial insurance segment.
Underwriting expertise in Allianz Commercial lines, preferably with focus on long-tail LoB’s/Liability.
