Sales Coordinator

Overview

Established in 2009, Acquis has been providing insurance products and services to the European finance and leasing industry for over a decade. Our in-depth knowledge of the equipment finance market helps us build long term relationships with our clients which deliver sustainable results and has allowed us to become a market leader in speciality insurance.

Working at Acquis provides an opportunity to join a dynamic and inclusive working environment which is focused on continuous improvement. We currently operate across Europe in 16 different countries; our richly diverse team originates from a whole host of different countries, and, between them, our colleagues speak 18 different languages, and we take every opportunity to celebrate our diverse backgrounds and cultures. Acquis’ main administration centres are in the UK and the Netherlands.

In May 2023 Acquis was acquired by NSM Insurance Group, a global specialty insurance provider with more than $1.6 billion in premium across 25 specialty insurance programs and brands around the world. Named a Philadelphia Inquirer Top Workplace based on employee feedback, the company has been exclusively focused on building successful insurance programs since 1990 and continually seeks new opportunities to grow and expand through strategic mergers and acquisitions.

The acquisition has signalled a new phase in Acquis’ growth plans. Alongside continuing expansion in existing and new territories, Acquis is launching its specialist insurance services into the US equipment finance and leasing market.

To help launch Acquis North America we are looking for a team of ambitious and proactive individuals to set up and scale our new operation. It is an extremely exciting time to join Acquis as we pursue our growth strategy, and our current and future success is dependent on our most valuable resource, our people.
