What You'll Do

As an Account Manager, you'll be the primary point of contact for a book of clients — guiding them through renewals, open enrollment, and the full lifecycle of their benefits programs:

• Managing the end-to-end renewal process — pre-renewal analysis, strategy, and administration
• Leading open enrollment, including marketing materials, system training, and onsite support
• Advising clients on plan design, funding strategies (level-funded, self-funded, etc.), and compliance (COBRA, HIPAA, FMLA, ERISA)
• Presenting recommendations directly to clients and advocating on their behalf with carriers
• Mentoring newer teammates and contributing to a collaborative team culture

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree + 3 years of employee benefits experience, OR 5+ years of related experience
• Background at a benefits brokerage or agency strongly preferred; HR Benefits Specialists with deep benefits knowledge also encouraged to apply
• Active Life & Health Insurance License (or ability to obtain within 3 months)
• Strong communicator with excellent client service skills
• Proficient in Microsoft Office 365

Why Brown & Brown?

• Competitive salary ($90K–$95K) + Discretionary Time Off (DTO)
