Review pricing, coverage, carrier options, and plan changes. Help clients compare fully insured and level-funded plans.

Respond to client questions and resolve issues throughout the year. Build relationships with business owners, executives, and HR professionals. Assist with referrals and selected new client opportunities. Provide direction and support to junior team members. Work with carriers, account managers, enrollment employees, and other insurance partners. Keep client records and renewal information accurate and organized.

Compensation and Work Schedule Base salary of $80,000 to $100,000 Comprehensive medical, retirement, and paid time off benefits Full-time office attendance in Reston for the first 6 months Potential flexibility after the initial 6 months Why Consider This Position Join a stable team with very little turnover. Take over an established position following a long-term employee’s retirement. Work for a supportive manager who values experience and sound judgment. Focus on current clients and referrals rather than aggressive prospecting. Receive support from experienced service and enrollment employees. Join a collaborative office where strong employees are trusted to do their jobs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
