- Quote new business and support producers and sales team members throughout the placement process.
- Issue certificates of insurance, auto ID cards, and other insurance verification documents.
- Review policies and carrier documents for accuracy and follow through on discrepancies or outstanding items.
- Monitor pending cancellations and assist with premium collection and account reconciliation when needed.
- Assist clients with claims reporting and follow up with the appropriate internal and carrier partners regarding claim status.
- Proactively review client accounts to identify coverage gaps, additional coverage needs, and cross-selling opportunities.
- Stay informed about carrier products, underwriting requirements, policy forms, binding authority, and industry changes.
- Help mentor and support other members of the account management team by sharing knowledge and appropriately delegating work.
- Build positive, professional relationships with clients, carrier partners, and internal team members.

- Ability to manage multiple accounts, deadlines, renewals, and client requests while maintaining accuracy and follow-through.
- Comfortable taking ownership of client issues and working collaboratively to resolve problems.
