Employee Benefits Account Manager - Chicago (Northern Suburbs)

Hi!  I'm working on a terrific opportunity here for a strong employee benefits account manager.  Our client is someone that is a true consultative broker and needs someone with strong self funded experience and a high attention to detail.  This would be a great opportunity for someone that wants to leave a large national broker and go to a smaller agency that offers similar services but more intimacy and impact.

Our client is a large, independent agency with an impeccable reputation based on the tenure and national exposure of its senior leadership. The group benefits division is such a strong portion of the agency's overall revenue that the same resources common to a consulting firm are present within this position.  As Group Benefits Account Manager you’ll devote time to the continued development of the agency’s relationship with the insured, and concentrate on the thorough review and implementation of policies to drive down costs and promote a strong group benefits portfolio.

Provide marketing and client services for designated prospects and clients managing the submission (RFP) process, securing information to effectively market to all carrier partners, preparing all new and renewal submissions for marketing, analyzing data, reviewing proposals, completing enrollments and implementing communication strategies with the client.
Stay abreast of markets, products, and carrier competitiveness to provide a comprehensive product portfolio to the client.
Act as a liaison between the client and insurance companies in order to resolve all normal service issues regarding billing, claims, eligibility, and other customer service issues.

Group Benefits Account Manager Qualifications:
At least five (5) years of account management experience with a retail brokerage concentrating on accounts exceeding 100 lives.
