Production Manager / Producer — Liz Portee State Farm | West Columbia, SC

Are you a people-first leader who also loves helping clients and driving results? Liz Portee State Farm is seeking an experienced Production Manager (Agency Leader + Producer) to run our office day-to-day, manage the team, and actively produce insurance business.

This role is a true leadership position—you lead, you coach, and you help drive sales. You’ll be the go-to person for the team: the one they report to, bring questions and problems to, and are held accountable by. You’ll work closely with the agency owner on goals and direction while also being a visible, active producer in the market.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Have real experience leading and managing a team (not just individually producing)


• Can sell insurance confidently while also coaching others to do the same


• Are comfortable holding people accountable, giving feedback, and having tough conversations


• Communicate clearly and professionally—especially when clients or team members need help quickly


• Are highly organized and able to keep multiple priorities running smoothly at once


• Want to lead the office with day-to-day ownership, not just manage from afar

What You’ll Do:

Leadership + Office Management

• Manage and supervise agency staff (coaching, performance, scheduling, and day-to-day accountability)


• Lead daily operations to ensure the office runs smoothly and consistently


• Handle day-to-day escalations, resolve issues, and remove obstacles for the team


• Track team performance metrics and flag opportunities/risks to the agency owner


• Ensure the team follows agency processes, policies, and compliance standards


• Build a positive, high-performing culture that improves retention and morale

Producer Responsibilities (Sales + Client Service)

• Actively sell insurance as a producer—new business, renewals, and retention support


• Work with the team to improve quoting, appointment setting, conversion, and follow-up


• Maintain a strong client experience through responsive communication and proper policy servicing


• Support the agency’s sales strategy by driving results in your own book of business while coaching others to perform

Team Coaching + Performance

• Coach the team to improve sales, service execution, and professionalism


• Identify training opportunities and help develop producers and support staff


• Set clear expectations and support the team in meeting measurable goals

What You’ll Need:

• Proven leadership or supervisory experience (managing people, not just producing)


• Strong communication, coaching, and organizational skills


• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment


• Insurance or client-facing experience preferred


• Property & Casualty and Life & Health Producer licenses (must have or be willing to obtain immediately)

Great Backgrounds For This Role:

Military, banking, call centers, financial services, insurance, sales leadership, healthcare administration, hospitality/retail leadership, teaching, mortgage lending—especially anyone who has run a team, led an office, or managed day-to-day performance.

What We Offer:

• Salary/commission structure


• Monthly Health Stipend


• Paid time off (including holidays)


• A leadership role with real day-to-day impact—and the opportunity to produce while you lead
