Descripción del empleo

You've spent years earning the trust of brokers and producers in your region. They know your name, take your calls, and value your expertise. What if you could leverage those relationships to build something that's truly yours, backed by the resources, reputation, and support of a nationally recognized organization?

Avant Specialty Benefits is looking for a Market Director to establish and grow our presence in key markets across the country.

About Avant Specialty Benefits

Avant Specialty Benefits is a general agent in employee benefits, specializing in ancillary benefits, stop loss, and individual coverage solutions. We pair the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit of a growing business with the backing of one of the nation's largest independent, employee-owned insurance brokerages. With more than 90 years of industry leadership.

Our business is built on relationships that span the country. We work closely with independent agencies, producers, carrier partners, and industry vendors nationwide, providing the expertise, resources, and support needed to help our partners grow and serve their clients.

We're expanding into new markets and looking for experienced benefits professionals who want the opportunity to build something meaningful while being supported by an established platform.

• Drive sales across ancillary, stop loss, and individual benefits solutions.
• Represent Avant with carrier partners throughout your region.

This role is focused on building relationships, growing a market, and driving business development, not managing people or running an office.

What We're Looking For

• A proven track record of success in employee benefits sales
• Established relationships with brokers and producers in their local market
• Experience developing and growing a book of business
• An entrepreneurial mindset and desire to build something lasting

Compensation is based on several factors, including, but not limited to, education, work experience, industry certifications, and is commensurate based on the book of business. In addition to your salary, Holmes Murphy offers a comprehensive total rewards program including annual bonuses, total wellbeing benefits and support for professional development.
