Role Overview
You will act as BJAK’s on-the-ground leader for insurance partnerships and distribution, responsible for building strategic insurer relationships, navigating local market and regulatory dynamics, and executing commercial strategies that drive measurable revenue impact.
Key Responsibilities
Partnership Acquisition & Activation
Identify, prospect, qualify, negotiate, and close strategic insurer and ecosystem partnerships within aggressive timelines.
Own the full partnership lifecycle — from initial outreach and relationship building through negotiation, onboarding, integration, and go-live.
Drive fast-market-entry partnerships and minimize activation timelines through proactive stakeholder alignment.
Pipeline Ownership & Execution
Build, own, and manage a robust and visible pipeline of insurer and strategic partners in the UK market.
Maintain disciplined follow-ups, accurate CRM hygiene, and clear reporting to ensure consistent deal progression and closures.
Operate with urgency — no stalled deals, no loose ends.
Commercial Negotiation & Deal Closure
Lead commercial negotiations with strong judgment on pricing, underwriting alignment, and partnership economics.
Collaborate closely with legal, product, technology, operations, and compliance teams to finalize agreements and accelerate execution.
Align internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth onboarding and timely go-lives.
Revenue Delivery & Partner Performance
Own monthly revenue, policy, and activation targets.
After go-live, continue driving partner productivity, volume growth, and KPI performance.
Identify cross-sell, upsell, and optimization opportunities to convert partnerships into long-term, scalable revenue streams.
Strategic Leadership & Market Advisory
Represent the business in meetings, calls, and written communications with partners, regulators, and stakeholders as required.
Serve as the primary liaison between leadership, partners, and internal teams to enable fast decision-making and execution.
Operational Excellence & Governance
Proactively identify, escalate, and resolve partner or execution issues while maintaining high standards of service and delivery.
Support resource and capacity planning, including input on staffing and operational priorities aligned with business growth.
Communicate clearly, concisely, and accurately across all stakeholders to support effective operations.
Requirements
If you need to be nudged, reminded, or handheld — this is not the role. You must be highly self-driven, proactive, and accountable. We expect initiative, not instructions.
Minimum 5 years of experience in insurance, technology and/or fintech, with strong commercial and negotiation capability.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
