At Heidrick & Co. Insurance, we specialize in protecting homes, businesses and lifestyles throughout Southwest Florida. Our agency has built its reputation on long-term client relationships, personalized service and a commitment to doing what's right for our clients.

A significant part of our success comes from delivering exceptional service—from a prospect's first interaction with our agency through every stage of their insurance journey. That commitment is reflected in our outstanding client retention rates and continued growth.

We're seeking an experienced Personal Lines Account Manager who shares our passion for delivering a true concierge-level client experience. This role is a key member of our collaborative three-person Personal Lines team, serving a sophisticated book of business that includes high-net-worth households, luxury homes and multi-location risks.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is a hybrid position that combines remote work with regular in-office collaboration. Team members work from our Sanibel office, Fort Myers office and home office according to an established schedule. During the onboarding and training period, a full-time in-office schedule will be required to ensure a successful transition and strong foundation for long-term success.

Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No evenings. No weekends.

WHO THRIVES HERE?

This is not an "order taker" position. We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems and proactively helping clients navigate their insurance needs. If you prefer to hide behind email and avoid phone conversations, this probably isn't the right fit. If, however, you enjoy meaningful client interactions and take pride in delivering outstanding service, we'd love to hear from you.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

We're committed to developing our people. Our agency follows a deliberate growth strategy, and we invest heavily in training and professional development. We believe in promoting from within whenever possible and providing team members with the tools, knowledge and opportunities needed to advance their careers.

BENEFITS

We offer a competitive benefit package that includes health insurance, generous PTO, paid tolls, a 401(k) and more.

Salary Range: $45,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year
