      • Accountability and execution
      • Pipeline transparency and deal progression
      • Skill reinforcement and role-playing
    • Bring greater intentionality to:

      • Sustainable performance and work-life balance
    • Challenge producers constructively through:

      • Industry and niche focus
      • Ideal group size and account profile
      • List building and targeting strategies
      • Warm-lead strategies and Centers of Influence (COIs)
    • Provide guidance on account strategy, structure, and overall approach
    • Support developing producers with day-to-day deal and pipeline questions

    Personal Production

    • Actively produce new business with meaningful annual production expectations aligned with leading a team of producers

    • Leverage existing relationships, referral partners, and Centers of Influence to drive consistent deal flow
    • Serve as a role model for prospecting discipline, deal strategy, and execution

     

    Experience & Industry Expectations

    • Property & Casualty (P&C) or Employee Benefits (EB) experience required
    • Familiarity with cross-sell work or collaboration strongly preferred
    • Industry experience is critical to effectively coach and develop producers, particularly newer producers
    • This role is not intended for candidates new to the insurance industry, as that would slow team development

     

    Qualifications

    • Proven success as a middle-market producer in P&C and/or Employee Benefits
    • Demonstrated ability to generate and manage a substantial book of business
    • Desire to move into a formal sales leadership role

    • Comfortable challenging others and holding teams accountable
    • Strong executive presence, communication skills, and credibility with producers and leadership
    • Experience in large brokerage environments is a plus

    What Success Looks Like

    • Clear lift in producer confidence, pipeline quality, and accountability
    • Consistent sales rhythm driven by execution and coaching
    • Stronger sales culture centered on discipline, support, and performance
    • A visible, trusted leader producers want to follow

    Compensation Philosophy & Incentives

    This is a performance-oriented, player-coach role. Compensation is structured to reward producer development, sustained sales growth and personal production.

    • Competitive base salary to support leadership responsibilities
    • Commission on personal production
    • Performance-based incentives tied to sales velocity and producer development
    • Long-term equity opportunities aligned with building enterprise value
