Job description

Commercial Insurance | Employee Benefits

We are partnering with a growing national insurance brokerage to identify and hire both established and emerging producers who are looking to accelerate their careers on a stronger platform.

Whether you've already built a significant book of business or you're still in the process of developing one, this opportunity provides the resources, carrier access, support structure, and growth environment needed to reach the next level.

Our client is an established national brokerage that combines the capabilities of a larger organization with the entrepreneurial culture and flexibility often found in smaller firms. They're investing heavily in growth and are seeking relationship-driven professionals who want the opportunity to build something meaningful while helping shape the future of the organization.

For experienced producers, this represents an opportunity to leverage broader market access, stronger resources, and attractive compensation. For developing producers, it's an opportunity to join a platform that provides mentorship, support, carrier relationships, and the infrastructure needed to accelerate production and build a long‑term career.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Grow Your Business on a Stronger Platform

Successful producers eventually realize that growth isn't solely about selling more. It's about having the right resources behind you. Whether you're managing an established book or building one, our client provides the market access, carrier relationships, and internal support needed to help producers compete effectively and win business.

Access to a Broad Carrier Portfolio

The organization's extensive carrier relationships and specialty resources allow producers to bring more options and greater flexibility to clients. This creates opportunities to compete more effectively in the marketplace while delivering customized solutions that meet client needs.

Invest in Your Future

This is not simply a place to maintain a book of business. It's a platform designed for growth. The organization is actively investing in talent, technology, infrastructure, and expansion. Producers who join today have an opportunity to grow alongside the business and influence its future direction.

Leadership That Values Producers

Producers are viewed as strategic contributors and business builders. Leadership actively seeks input from successful advisors and creates an environment where ideas are welcomed and individuals can make a meaningful impact.

Dedicated Support Resources

Producers are supported by experienced service, account management, and marketing teams, allowing them to focus on developing relationships, uncovering opportunities, and serving clients.

The firm is large enough to compete nationally while remaining nimble and approachable.

You'll find a collaborative environment with less bureaucracy, strong teamwork, and a culture that empowers people to build their business in the way that best serves their clients.

Competitive Compensation

The compensation structure rewards both new business production and long‑term client retention, creating meaningful earning potential for producers at every stage of their career.

What You'll Do

• Develop and grow a profitable book of business through relationship building, networking, referrals, and prospecting.
• Identify opportunities to help businesses manage risk, protect assets, and achieve strategic objectives.
• Build trusted advisor relationships with business owners, executives, and decision‑makers.
• Collaborate with internal service, marketing, underwriting, and carrier partners to deliver effective insurance and benefits solutions.
• Retain and grow existing client relationships while pursuing new business opportunities.
• Stay informed on market trends, industry developments, and emerging risks affecting clients.
• Participate in business development activities within your local market and community.
• Continue developing your insurance expertise, sales skills, and industry specialization.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome conversations with both experienced risk advisors and producers, and rising sales professionals who have demonstrated strong business development ability and a desire to build a successful insurance career. Ideal candidates may include:

• Established Commercial Insurance or Employee Benefits Producers with an existing book of business.
• Associate Producers looking to transition into a larger production role.
• Junior or developing producers who have demonstrated success generating opportunities and building client relationships.
• Business development professionals from related industries with a strong network and consultative sales experience.
• Insurance professionals seeking a platform that offers more autonomy, support, and long‑term growth potential.

Preferred Qualifications

• Insurance sales, business development, client advisory, or producer experience.
• Active insurance license.
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and self‑starter mentality.
• Desire to grow personally and professionally.
• Ability to develop trust with clients and prospects.

Who Thrives Here?

The most successful Risk Advisors are relationship‑oriented professionals who enjoy opening doors, building trust, solving problems, and creating opportunities. Some arrive with a mature book of business and are seeking a better platform. Others are earlier in their production career and looking for the right place to build one. What they have in common is a growth mindset, strong relationship skills, and the desire to be part of an organization where their contributions genuinely matter.
