Senior Commercial Lines Account Manager-Chicago, IL

Stepping into this Senior Commercial Lines Account Manager role means you're already towards the upper end of this independent agency's client service structure but with still plenty of room for growth.  The agency needs an accomplished client manager who is capable of immediately handling a large, middle market book with at least 40-50 key accounts.  There isn't a lot of segmentation of roles, so this position oversees the execution of all administration, from policy management to marketing and consulting and delegates the more transactional matters to the account representatives.  Its a big role but with a strong organization that puts successful account managers in line for promotions to the account executive level.

Senior Commercial Lines Account Manager Responsibilities:

• Work closely with a team of junior, support associates to handle the onboarding of new accounts and prepare renewals.  This includes your oversight of information gathering, meeting submission deadlines, maintaining accurate files (and completed applications) and analyzing claims and loss control data.
• Help coordinate marketing efforts including selection of markets to work with on a renewal case, manage expectations for coverage and pricing with underwriters, and communicate back to the producer on anticipated results for RFPs.
• Participate in policy administration including policy review, endorsements, audits, contracts, surplus lines, service requests, binders, billing and cancellations.

Senior Commercial Lines Account Manager Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree is required.
• At least five (5) years of similar experience at a senior commercial account manager or account executive level for a retail insurance agency.
• State insurance license.
• Possess leadership abilities within a service team to help guide the flow of responsibilities, take action on complex and escalated issues, execute client service plans and assume a large case load of middle market accounts within varied industries.
