• Provide practical insurance expertise that helps advisors assess client needs and position insurance appropriately within the broader plan.
• Keep advisors informed of case progress, next steps, insurance recommendations, and relevant client considerations.
• Partner with Insurance Business Development & Enablement Specialists on advisor referrals, opportunity development, and case progression.

Pipeline Management and Case Execution

• Manage assigned opportunities from initial discovery through application, placement, and delivery.
• Maintain accurate records of client opportunities, meetings, applications, issued cases, revenue, and follow‑up requirements.
• Coordinate illustrations, carrier requirements, underwriting information, applications, and supporting documentation.
• Work closely with Operations on documentation, application processing, underwriting follow‑up, placement requirements, and case workflow.
• Engage carrier resources, within established workflows, for product, illustration, underwriting, and case support.
• Escalate complex estate, corporate, tax, underwriting, or planning matters to Estate Planning and Advanced Planning Specialists.

• Practical knowledge of needs analysis, product positioning, illustrations, underwriting fundamentals, carrier requirements, applications, and policy placement.
• Preferred experience partnering with financial advisors and supporting business‑owner, high‑net‑worth, corporate, or broader wealth‑planning client needs.
• Strong presentation, communication, sales, and relationship‑management skills.
• Ability to recognize complex planning needs and engage the appropriate specialist support.
• Willingness to travel as required for advisor offices, client meetings, regional activity, and business‑development needs.
