This is all powered by our focus on hiring and retaining extraordinary people. Our clients trust us with their most valuable possessions so, we’re more than just a bit selective when it comes to hiring new team members.

Job Summary The Retention Specialist I is an entry- level role responsible for re-marketing existing clients whose policies are expiring, experiencing premium increases, or facing adverse underwriting actions. This position blends sales expertise with high-touch service execution to ensure clients remain optimally placed with the right coverage solutions.

Specialists follow established workflows, scripts, and compliance standards while developing deeper insurance knowledge and autonomy.
