This role will be a 6-month contract to start. We are looking for this person to work 40 hours per week and the target hourly rate is $35.00-$45.00/hr depending on experience

Location:

While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve recently shifted from an in-office organization to a hybrid model and love the flexibility it allows our employees. We are set up to support employees who want to be fully remote, in-office only, and a mix of the two. Please note - we will not be supporting work based out of the following states: CA, MA, NY, NJ.

What You'll Do:

  • Apply for new agency and agent appointments where applicable

  • Schedule pre-licensing courses and exams

  • Schedule continuing ed courses for internal agents, as needed

  • Regular reporting to stakeholders on licensing statuses

• Observe and identify opportunities for improvements & make constructive suggestions for change

• Communicate with Agency Operations to provide updates and maintain appropriate workflows

What We're Looking For:

As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks with a strong sense of ownership, phenomenal communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

• 2-4 years of experience in licensing

• Strength in record keeping, organizational finesse, and keen attention to detail

• Experience with tools like Sircon, National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) and State Based Systems (SBS)

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills (high EQ) with an ability to take initiative and quickly become a trusted partner

• Servant-leadership attitude with a high level of professionalism, tact, and discretion

• An ability to listen and understand the needs of others

• A desire to protect our company values and see them reflected in every decision and practice
