About the Opportunity

We are hiring for an insurance agency serving South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia market. The agency is established, owner-led, and relationship-driven, with a strong reputation in commercial and personal lines. Its commercial work includes small to mid-size accounts with strong concentration in contractors, workers compensation, and landlord or investment property risks. The agency markets business through multiple carriers and positions itself as a tailored, service-oriented brokerage rather than a high-volume call-center environment.

Position Overview

This opening exists because the agency needs an experienced replacement tied to an approximately $3 million commercial book of business. The person hired will step into a meaningful working seat and will be expected to independently manage renewals, endorsements, carrier marketing, inbound account activity, and day-to-day client needs with minimal hand-holding. This is a strong fit for someone who wants real responsibility, close access to decision-making, and a long-term home inside a boutique agency.
