Collaborate with carriers and General Agencies to leverage existing product experts and resources to design and execute customized risk mitigation plans from start to end: product selection, case design, illustration, application fulfillment and policy placement.

Partnering with our Tax, Financial & Estate Planning teams, and our Trust department will be critical.
- Serve as the subject matter expert: Possess an in-depth understanding of the insurance industry especially related to multi-generational wealth planning. Candidate should also have an understanding of general financial planning principles and estate planning strategies, including the use of trusts in connection with insurance needs.
