Are you a recent college graduate or early-career professional looking to get your foot in the door with a reputable insurance agency? Do you enjoy engaging with people and envision yourself in a sales-driven, client-facing role—but want to learn the ropes first?

We’re looking for a Receptionist who’s ready to take the first step toward a rewarding career in the insurance industry. This position is perfect for someone who thrives in a professional office setting, enjoys helping others, and is eager to grow into a licensed insurance sales role in the near future.

ABOUT THE ROLE:
As our front desk Receptionist, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients—welcoming them to the agency and supporting the team with administrative, customer service, and early sales activities. You'll learn the ins and outs of the insurance business, gain exposure to the client lifecycle, and be mentored by experienced professionals—all while preparing to pursue your license and move into a full sales role if it’s the right fit.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Greet clients and visitors warmly in-person, over the phone, and via email
  
  
• Manage appointment scheduling and office communications
  
  
• Support administrative functions such as maintaining records and filing documents
  
  
• Handle basic customer inquiries and redirect to licensed agents as needed
  
  
• Begin participating in client conversations to identify insurance needs and potential coverage gaps
  
  
• Assist with quoting processes, follow-ups, and outreach campaigns
  
  
• Collaborate with the team on projects and office operations
  
  

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Recent college graduate or early-career professional preferred
  
  
• Previous experience in customer service, office administration, or retail/sales is a plus
  
  
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  
  
• Organized, detail-oriented, and eager to learn
  
  
• Comfortable engaging in customer conversations and exploring sales opportunities
  
  
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and open to learning new software
  
  
• Interest in obtaining a Property & Casualty or Life & Health insurance license in the future (we’ll help guide you through the process!)
  
  

WHY START HERE:

• Hands-on exposure to the insurance industry
  
  
• Paid opportunity to learn, grow, and evaluate your fit in a licensed sales role
  
  
• Path to promotion: Supportive agency culture that invests in your development
  
  
• Flexible, team-oriented environment with room to grow

• Clear next steps toward licensing and sales advancement
  
  

This role is your gateway to a meaningful, successful career in insurance. If you’re proactive, personable, and excited about helping people while learning a valuable industry, we’d love to hear from you!
