Commercial Insurance Assistant

The Dear Agency Farmers Insurance is growing, and we are looking for a Commercial Insurance Assistant to support our expanding commercial book of business.

This is not a position for someone who simply wants to answer phones and complete basic administrative tasks. We are looking for someone who can take ownership, stay ahead of deadlines, communicate professionally with business owners, and become a critical part of our Commercial Insurance team.

The right person will work directly with the Agency Owner and assist with servicing, quoting, renewals, documentation, certificates, underwriting requirements, and the day-to-day management of commercial accounts.
