• Evaluate claims data, pricing trends and coverage enhancements to compose the best possible, most comprehensive insurance program for clients
• Find ways to creatively bring alternative funding, loss control and other company resources into the fold to enhance the client’s risk management plan.

Skills & Experience

• At least 5-7 years of commercial insurance experienced involved in strategic marketing, business development and client retention initiatives.
• You are collaborative and understand how to coordinate teams and resources to keep positive, profitable business on the books.
• Your desire to win business energizes experienced producers but also helps less experienced sales and service staff increase their knowledge, skills and capabilities.
