About the Opportunity
We are hiring for an insurance agency serving South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia market. The agency is established, owner-led, and relationship-driven, with a strong reputation in commercial and personal lines. Its commercial work includes small to mid-size accounts with strong concentration in contractors, workers compensation, and landlord or investment property risks. The agency markets business through multiple carriers and positions itself as a tailored, service-oriented brokerage rather than a high-volume call-center environment.
Position Overview
This opening exists because the agency needs an experienced replacement tied to an approximately $3 million commercial book of business. The person hired will step into a meaningful working seat and will be expected to independently manage renewals, endorsements, carrier marketing, inbound account activity, and day-to-day client needs with minimal hand-holding. This is a strong fit for someone who wants real responsibility, close access to decision-making, and a long-term home inside a boutique agency.
Key Responsibilities
Commercial Book Management
- Manage an approximately $3 million commercial book of business
- Handle renewals, endorsements, certificates, service requests, and day-to-day client issues
- Maintain organized follow-through and strong service responsiveness across open account activity
Carrier Marketing and Coverage Placement
- Market accounts to multiple insurance carriers
- Review appetite, pricing, and coverage fit across carriers
- Support contractor, workers compensation, landlord, and other generalist commercial exposures
New Business and Cross-Selling
- Answer inbound new business calls
- Help convert inbound opportunities into placed accounts
- Identify cross-sell opportunities once established in the role and familiar with the client base
Client and Agency Collaboration
- Work closely with agency leadership in a highly visible owner-led environment
- Communicate directly with clients, carriers, and internal staff
- Operate effectively in a small-team setting where people are expected to cover the full scope of account-management work
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Required Qualifications
- At least 5 to 7 years of commercial lines account-management experience
- Experience independently managing commercial accounts, not just supporting a senior account manager
- Experience marketing accounts to multiple carriers
- Strong experience with contractor and workers compensation business
- Active New Jersey Property and Casualty license
- Strong client communication and account judgment
- Ability and willingness to work onsite in Cherry Hill full time
- Residence within a realistic daily commute or clear willingness to relocate for a fully onsite role
Preferred Qualifications
- Independent-agency background
- Small to mid-size generalist commercial-book experience
- Landlord or investment-property exposure
- EZLynx experience
- Cross-selling or account-rounding instincts
- Long tenure in prior roles showing retention and stability
Background, Clearance, or Eligibility Requirements
- New Jersey Property and Casualty license required
- No clearance requirement
- No degree requirement
Ideal Candidate Profile
- A seasoned commercial-lines professional who can truly own a book
- Someone comfortable in a boutique, owner-led agency with high visibility
- A practical, relationship-driven operator who values responsiveness and follow-through
- A candidate who prefers an in-office environment and does not need hybrid flexibility to stay engaged
- A person who can balance service execution with sound commercial judgment around remarketing and cross-selling
