Commercial Lines Account Manager - Chicago, IL (North Side)

This is a great spot for a client that has a specialized niche in professional lines insurance.  However, instead of a professional lines specialist our client wants a strong account manager with good client facing experience that can be a leader in their office.  This would be a terrific opportunity for someone that is looking to transition out of a large agency into a more intimate environment.

Commercial Lines Account Manager 
Our client is an independent agency based in Chicago with a very successful professional liability practice. This position, Commercial Account Executive, is designed to be the front line client manager for an existing book of healthcare accounts.  Specifically, you'll advise physicians and medical facilities on the appropriateness of insurance coverage and provide advocacy in the often litigious world of medical malpractice.  This is a relationship driven role which will strategize and manage many of the agency's smaller legacy accounts.  It’s an exciting position created out of the agency's continued growth and its desire to provide a deeper level of ongoing customer service.  

Commercial Account Executive Responsibilities:
Act as a leader within the agency's client service team and work closely with the CSRs.
Create and implement written service timelines which will set renewal deadlines and mid-year client visits that you will conduct instead of the producer.
Organize the agency's ongoing communication with insureds concerning policy review and changes as well as legal and compliance updates concerning medical malpractice and healthcare.

Commercial Account Executive Qualifications:
At least five (5) years of property and casualty account management experience; prior work with professional liability accounts (non-medical and medical malpractice) will be considered and is strongly preferred.
Comfortable in a lead client manager role; able to set and execute plans for quarterly client visits and facilitate the renewal process.
Present proposals in front of clients discussing coverage and pricing changes; pay particular attention to addressing renewals and the insured's satisfaction with the agency's performance.
