Job description

Employee Benefits Insurance Marketer

Are you motivated by the thrill of the win? Do you like to dig into the data and put together an unbeatable proposal? We have the position for you!

Cottingham & Butler is looking for an Employee Benefits Insurance Marketer. This is not a marketing position in the classical sense- our marketers negotiate with insurance companies to get competitive pricing for our clients. You will build strong relationships with the insurance companies which will enable you to craft the best deals for your clients. 

The other part of your position will be to conduct reviews of our prospective clients' current policies. You will dig into their existing coverages to identify the gaps created by their existing broker. It is a great opportunity for Cottingham & Butler (and YOU!) to demonstrate the capabilities and talent of our team – we aren’t just telling them that we are the best, we are actually showing them! There are many situations where we are able to give the company more coverage and save them money at the same time. 

Qualified candidates will have a bachelor’s degree and a strong desire to put together winning deals. No insurance experience necessary – we hire people for the qualities that can’t be taught (driven, strong work ethic, self-starter, hardworking, and energetic) and commit to training them on the rest. 

Necessary Skills:

  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • The ability to use critical thinking skills
  • Strong negotiation skills
  • Ability to operate independently and develop creative solutions

About Cottingham & Butler:

At Cottingham & Butler, we sell a promise to help our clients through life’s toughest moments. To deliver on that promise, we aim to hire, train, and grow the best professionals in the industry. We look for people with an insatiable desire to succeed, are committed to growing, and thrive on challenges. Our culture is guided by the theme of “better every day” constantly pushing ourselves to be better than yesterday – that’s who we are and what we believe in.

As an organization, we are tremendously optimistic about the future and have incredibly high expectations for our people and our performance. Our ability to grow as a company, fuels investments in new resources to better serve our clients and provide the amazing career opportunities our employees want and deserve. This is why we are a growth company and why we are committed to being better every day.
