LIG is looking for an organized, diligent full-time Insurance Professional for our Team. You'll describe yourself as motivated, bright, persistent, and helpful.

Your primary responsibilities will be to coordinate with agents and carriers to get the insured’s risk covered suitably. Therefore, a commitment to organized task management and excellent communication skills are essential.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in understanding complexity, and someone who will work well with partners to find the right coverages for the insured. You must have excellent time management, and exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You may not yet have a passion for insurance, but open to it or you might know people who do it for a living.

· Work closely with Agents to complete and compile necessary information

· Manage Communication with Agents and Carriers

· Submit Risks to Carriers

· Work with Carriers to find coverage for the insured

Key indicators of success in this role are thorough communication and follow-up, commitment to continual improvement, proven teamwork, a drive for growing your accounts, and an awareness of when and how to ask for help when you need it.

You should be able to review submissions and work with agents after one month, manage submissions and quotes after three months, and independently place coverage of insured with Carriers after four months.
