At The Richards Group (TRG), we believe the best business partnerships are personal. What matters to our clients matters to us. We listen and help find solutions to our clients' complex problems. The Richards Group is a local, independent insurance, employee benefits, financial services, and human resources consulting firm founded in 1867. While we continue to grow, our commitment to delivering exceptional service and creative insights for our clients remains the cornerstone of our business.

You'll work independently and collaboratively to support client needs, coordinate with carriers, and ensure timely, accurate service. This is a client-facing role where you'll use your knowledge of Commercial Property & Casualty Insurance to maintain and enhance long-term relationships while supporting client profitability. This position involves managing a complex book of business, taking a lead role in retention efforts, and contributing to broader departmental goals.

Your expertise allows you to confidently navigate complex insurance matters, supporting clients through every step of the issuance and renewal process.

In this role, you will:

• Manage client accounts through the issuance and renewal cycle.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for clients, carriers, and internal teams.
• Analyze coverage needs and recommend tailored solutions.
• Prioritize tasks and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced environment.
• Manage a complex book of business with a focus on retention.
• Oversee billing, invoicing, and renewals.
• Lead communication among clients, producers, and carriers.
• Mentor team members and support departmental goals.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

• High school diploma or equivalent; professional designations a plus.
• Active Property & Casualty license with CE credits maintained.
• 3-5 years of commercial insurance experience.
• Complex account management preferred.
• Strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.

• Social Connections: We take every opportunity to have a good time as a team including our Cocktails and Colleagues happy hour series, Employee Appreciation Day, Red Sox games, comedy shows, concerts, holiday lunches, team and department retreats, virtual trivia and costume contests…the list goes on!
• Benefits and Wellbeing: TRG takes a holistic approach through benefits, compensation, education, programming and support services that encompass and invest in our colleagues' social, financial, physical, and emotional well-being.
• Professional and Personal Development: TRG understands the importance of all of growing both professionally and personally and will make sure you're getting the experience, education, and licenses necessary to ensure you develop and grow.
