Insurance jobs in Sheffield

Are you looking for your next account management role in the insurance / Insurtech industry? If so, we’d like to hear from you!

About the Role

As an Account Manager at SchemeServe, your day-to-day will involve engaging with our clients regularly — through quality phone calls and video calls every day, as well as meeting clients in person once or twice a week.

Your main focus will be cultivating long-lasting relationships that drive client retention and renewals, helping our customers succeed with SchemeServe.

This role suits someone who enjoys balancing remote work with regular face-to-face client interaction. While we’re a fully remote company, this role involves regular in-person client meetings (typically once or twice per week), so it suits someone who enjoys getting out to meet customers.

Salary: £40,000+ (depending on experience)

Who This Role Suits

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Enjoys building strong, long-term relationships with clients
• Is comfortable speaking with insurance professionals and understanding their commercial challenges
• Likes balancing remote work with regular in-person client visits
• Takes ownership of accounts and proactively identifies opportunities to improve client outcomes
• Is naturally curious and enjoys understanding how technology can solve real business problems

Main Responsibilities

• Oversee client account management, including assisting with and negotiating long-term renewal contracts to maximise profit.
• Take ownership of the day-to-day relationship with all client accounts.
• Serve as the primary interface between SchemeServe experts and clients, ensuring the right people are connected to resolve issues and support client success.
• Act as a senior point of escalation for client concerns or complaints.
• Organise corporate entertainment events and opportunities for clients to engage with the management team and other customers.
• Continually monitor SchemeServe’s portfolio of clients for indicators of account health and opportunities for growth, reporting pro-actively and regularly to the Chief of Wunderwriting on successes, risks, account health and opportunities.
• Ensure our CRM system is kept up to date, with client records and communications stored centrally so the wider team stays aligned.
• Support outward sales campaigns and platform demonstrations on a case-by-case basis.
• Build trusted relationships that drive high client retention and successful long-term renewals across your portfolio.

Skills and Experience Required

• Experience in the insurance / Insurtech industry, enabling you to understand and speak our clients’ language confidently and address their needs effectively.
• Strong familiarity with insurance software platforms, ideally through hands-on experience using or managing them.
• Experience in account management or client relationship roles, ideally within a software or technology company.
• Excellent communication skills, both on the phone and in written correspondence.
• A proactive and curious mindset — you enjoy asking questions, understanding the bigger picture, and taking initiative without waiting for instructions.
• The ability to build rapport easily and maintain strong client relationships.
• A full UK driving license and access to a car (for regular in-person client meetings).

About SchemeServe

At its heart, SchemeServe is all about making insurance simple. SchemeServe helps insurance brokers, MGAs, and insurers design, build, and manage their own insurance products (or ‘schemes’) with ease. Some of our customers build their schemes themselves, while others rely on our expert Wunderwriters.

We’ve always been a fully remote company, but we still love getting together. Twice a year, we meet in person for Team Retreats — one in March and another in September. These are all about sharing ideas, relaxing, and building real connections. Past retreats have featured everything from archery tag and murder mystery nights to inflatable obstacle courses and axe throwing—so expect some fun!

We’re big on personal growth and love to see our team pushing themselves to learn and develop new skills. Need books, mentoring, or professional development opportunities? We’ve got you covered.

Plus, we offer flexible working, paid days to volunteer for causes you care about, a friendly and supportive team and a relaxed but ambitious company culture.
