Job description

District Manager – Farmers Insurance® Agencies

Help Businesses Grow. Develop Leaders. Build Your Legacy.

Are you a growth‑minded, people‑focused leader ready to shape the future of your community while building a business of your own? Farmers Insurance® district managers are entrepreneurs — running their own district office, coaching agency owners, and helping to develop a network of high‑performing businesses.

This role combines strategic leadership, business development, and talent cultivation. Working with an organization backed by nearly a century of brand trust, Fortune 500® strength, and an award‑winning training program, you’ll have the autonomy to grow your business and make a lasting impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

As a Farmers® district manager, you’ll lead and scale a district, supporting agency owner business growth while enjoying:

• Unlimited earning potential and performance bonuses
• Incentive travel opportunities and recognition programs
• Freedom to build your district your way
• A support system designed to help you drive long‑term success

You’ll run your district your way — building your team, designing growth strategies, and shaping the culture — all while helping other entrepreneurs succeed in theirs.

Key Functions

Support Agency Owner Development

• Coach new and experienced agency owners to help drive profitable growth
• Build a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement

Drive Business Growth

• Develop strategies that can expand market presence and help enhance agency performance
• Mentor agency owners on their business planning, operations, and sales development
• Strengthen the Farmers brand through community engagement and relationship‑building

Operate and Scale Your District

• Run your own district office and build your internal team
• Create and implement long‑term strategic growth plans

What We’re Looking For

Leadership & Talent Development

• Experience managing teams and coaching others to success
• A passion for developing entrepreneurs and supporting business owners

Sales & Business Experience

• 5+ years in sales, insurance, financial services, or related leadership roles (preferred)
• Proven success recruiting, developing, or leading sales teams

Strategic & Financial Acumen

• Strong understanding of performance metrics and operational best practices
• Ability to manage your own operations and influence multiple businesses simultaneously
• Comfort with strategic decision‑making and business planning

Community & Relationship Building

• Commitment to building relationships that strengthen brand visibility and community impact
• Knowledge of contracts, compliance, and agency operations is a plus

Key Requirements

• Ability to pass a background check
• Property & Casualty and Life & Health licenses (or willingness to obtain)
• Applicable Series 6, 63, and 26 licenses
• Access to startup capital (no startup fees charged by Farmers)
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Completion of the University of Farmers® District Manager Program
• A suitable district office location
• At least two licensed and appointed district staff members at appointment

Why Choose Farmers Insurance®

• Industry‑leading training and ongoing development
• Strong brand recognition backed by a Fortune 500 organization
• Operational support and a proven business model
• Competitive compensation with lucrative bonus structures
• A meaningful role that impacts local communities and supports entrepreneurial growth

Ready to Lead the Future?

If you're driven, entrepreneurial, and passionate about helping others to achieve business ownership, this is your opportunity to build something extraordinary.
