Head of Brokerage

JPMorgan Chase & Co.•Chicago, IL

9h•$137,750 - $210,000

About The Position

As the Head of Insurance Broking in Business Banking, you will lead the bank's insurance broking function within the overall Insurance Platform Team (“IPT”). The IPT will launch its first major proposition in mid-2027 with a digital-led, human-supported service aimed at smaller businesses with simpler needs, backed by a strong bench of blue-chip US carriers. Beyond, and in parallel to, this first digital-led chapter we will be building the converse of a human-led, digitally-supported broking capability for those clients and use cases who have more complex needs requiring more consultative sales and service, plus a broader range of solutions – such as specialist carriers and wholesale, extending to E&S. We are recruiting this role in 2026 to both contribute to the overall build of IPT across all opportunities, but specifically to build the thinking and plan as the foundation for the broking capability, and then moving on to the implementation of that plan….from recruitment of talent to building the infrastructure.

Requirements

Substantial experience in property & casualty insurance broking, ideally within a large brokerage

Strong technical knowledge across commercial and/or personal lines products
Active P&C license required
Deep understanding of state-level regulatory requirements and carrier market dynamics
