About the Opportunity

This pivotal role is with a leading Insurance Brokerage, distinguished by its focus on complex commercial and institutional risk, integrity, and operational excellence.

Your work requires superior technical expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and proactive client advocacy across the entire policy lifecycle. This includes managing day-to-day service, executing complex renewals and endorsements, providing claims advocacy, and supporting growth initiatives. You act as the trusted operational liaison for clients, ensuring timely, accurate, and tailored insurance solutions that protect their assets and organizations.

Why This Role is a Great Fit for You

If you are a licensed insurance professional who combines deep technical mastery with strong relationship management intuition, this position offers a profound opportunity to be the operational backbone of a high-value, complex book of business.

• You will leverage your expertise to focus on client retention, complex renewals, and proactive service delivery, with a supportive role in new business development (no primary sales quota).
• You will gain continuous, deep expertise in analyzing institutional and complex commercial risk profiles, interpreting challenging coverage language (e.g., Property, Liability, Cyber, D&O), and navigating dynamic carrier markets.
• This is the perfect role for an expert who thrives on managing high-stakes relationships and complex policy analysis, translating technical compliance and policy language into client peace of mind.

• Maintain a professional demeanor when handling complaints, solving problems, and resolving conflicts.

Policy & Renewal Management

• Proactively manage and execute the renewal process (60-120 days out), including reviewing policies, rating, remarketing where necessary, recommending coverage enhancements, and flawlessly processing complex policy endorsements.
• Prepare quotes and applications for new business or remarkets, and process client change requests.
• Maintain the Broker Management System (BMS), documenting all client conversations, resulting activity, renewal reviews, recommendations, and ensuring abeyances are reviewed daily to prevent backlog.

Financial & Compliance Management

• Resolve issues regarding client premiums, account reconciliation, and aged receivables; efficiently manage the collection of payments and ensure all premium, taxes, and fees are collected prior to binding.
• Maintain deep, up-to-date knowledge of commercial insurance products and regulatory environments, ensuring all documents and transactions adhere to professional standards and the Privacy Act.

Claims Advocacy & Sales Support

• Act as the primary brokerage contact for all claims, immediately reporting them, collecting necessary information, communicating updates between the client and carrier, and following up to ensure a satisfactory resolution.
• Collaborate with Sales Brokers to gather information, rate new business applications, and prepare comprehensive coverage proposals to drive the firm's growth initiatives.
