About the Agency:
We are a growing independent insurance agency headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, with a well-established commercial lines client base and a reputation for exceptional service and tailored risk management solutions. Our next strategic focus is building a robust Group Benefits division—and we’re looking for the right person to lead it.

Position Overview:
We’re seeking a Group Benefits Producer to launch and grow our agency’s benefits division from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to spearhead a new business line within an agency that already has a solid base of clients ready to be cross-sold on group health and ancillary products.

This role is ideal for an entrepreneurial producer who thrives in a builder’s environment and wants the opportunity to eventually manage their own team. The position is remote, though occasional travel to client sites or the Brooklyn office may be required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and lead the agency’s group benefits division — from initial sales efforts to long-term strategy and structure.

• Identify cross-sell opportunities within our existing commercial lines book of business.

• Prospect, consult, and close new group benefits accounts (including group health, dental, vision, life, disability, and voluntary benefits).

• Build strong relationships with clients and carrier partners.

• Provide consultative guidance to business owners and HR leaders on plan design, compliance, and cost-management strategies.

• Coordinate enrollment meetings and ensure a smooth onboarding experience for new group clients.

• Over time, assist in hiring and training an account manager to handle service and renewals as the book grows.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5-10 years of experience in group benefits sales or consulting.

• Strong knowledge of group health and ancillary benefit products.

• Experience working with small to mid-sized businesses; experience with cross-selling is a plus.

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to work independently and strategically.

• Life & Health license required (NY license preferred or willingness to obtain).

• Excellent communication, presentation, and client relationship skills.

• Familiarity with major group benefits carriers and platforms.

Compensation & Perks:

• Base salary starting at $70,000+, negotiable based on experience.

• Commission structure negotiable—open to structuring a plan that rewards long-term growth and new business.

• Remote flexibility with support from a collaborative team.

• Opportunity to build and lead a division with hiring and leadership potential as growth milestones are met.

• Access to a high-potential commercial client base with immediate cross-sell opportunities.
