Commercial at Hastings Direct

In Commercial, we ensure our products meet customers’ needs and are priced appropriately. This involves everything from managing insurers and products through to being accountable for sales, retention, mid-term adjustments (MTAs) and cancellations. We also manage Premium Finance for customers who pay monthly.

Our main task is to change product costs in line with market needs. This means we need to understand business needs and the potential impact of our recommendations and have the confidence to propose change and argue our case convincingly.

To join our Commercial teams you’ll need a strong business focus and an entrepreneurial approach, with the ability to interpret and analyse complex numerical data and contribute ideas. We also look for a desire to build your knowledge and the ability to influence people at all levels.

Fred, Head of Retention and In-life

I joined Hastings Direct in 2019, having previously spent my career working in telecoms. I made the move as I was really impressed by not only the company’s ambitions for growth, but also the clarity of their strategy to achieve that growth – joining really was a no-brainer for me. Since joining, I’ve been hugely impressed by the openness and accessibly of senior leadership within this organisation; it’s very evident to me that transparency, availability, and collaboration are consistent qualities of senior leaders here. I’ve also found the collaborative spirit and “can-do” attitude from everyone I work with across the organisation really invigorating – everyone seems incredibly invested in the success of Hastings Direct, are very motivated to achieve that success, and I’ve personally found working as part of an organisation with that collective attitude really fulfilling.
