Employee Benefits Account Manager

Employment Type: Full-Time

Your Experience Deserves to Be Valued

Are you an experienced Employee Benefits insurance professional looking for an opportunity where you can take ownership of client relationships, manage an established book of business, and work with a team that truly values your expertise?

Our client is a well-established, growing independent insurance agency looking to add an experienced Employee Benefits Account Manager to their team.

This is more than a policy-servicing role. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to employer groups, help businesses navigate their employee benefits programs, work closely with insurance carriers, and play an important role in helping companies attract and retain employees through competitive benefits solutions.

If you have 3+ years of Employee Benefits experience, a strong understanding of group benefits, and take pride in delivering exceptional client service, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing:

You'll take ownership of an established Employee Benefits book of business and serve as a key point of contact for employer groups and their employees.

  • Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with employer groups and key decision-makers.
  • Manage the day-to-day servicing and administration of an established Employee Benefits book of business.
  • Handle renewals, plan changes, enrollments, and ongoing policy servicing.
  • Coordinate annual renewals, gather quotes, and work with carriers to negotiate competitive rates and coverage options.
  • Assist employers with medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and other group benefit offerings.
  • Review benefit plans and coverage to identify opportunities for improved coverage, cost savings, and plan design.
  • Prepare renewal presentations, proposals, benefit comparisons, and client communications.
  • Assist with open enrollment meetings, employee education, and benefits administration.
  • Work directly with insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and employer groups to resolve claims, billing, eligibility, and coverage issues.
  • Proactively communicate with clients regarding renewals, plan updates, and changing benefit needs.
  • Stay current on industry trends, carrier guidelines, and applicable employee benefits regulations.

What You Bring:

We're looking for someone who understands Employee Benefits insurance and enjoys being a trusted resource for clients.

Required:

  • 3+ years of Employee Benefits insurance experience, preferably within an independent insurance agency or brokerage.
  • Strong understanding of group health and employee benefits products.
  • Experience servicing employer-sponsored benefit plans and managing client relationships.
  • Knowledge of medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and other group benefit products.
  • Experience with renewals, marketing, plan comparisons, and carrier negotiations.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to independently manage a book of business and prioritize multiple client needs.
  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving abilities.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and agency management systems.

Most importantly: You bring a professional, service-minded approach and genuinely enjoy helping employers find and manage employee benefits solutions that meet their needs.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity:

  • Established independent agency with a strong reputation for putting clients first.
  • Meaningful client relationships where you serve as a trusted benefits advisor.
  • Ownership of an established book of business.
  • Variety of employer groups and industries to work with.
  • Collaborative team environment where your experience and input are valued.
  • Competitive compensation based on experience.
  • Benefits package available.
  • Long-term career growth and advancement opportunities.
  • Opportunity to make an impact within a growing organization.
