Role Value Proposition

Charlotte Sales Office is looking for a new Account Executive position, specifically to takeover and help foster meaningful and impactful relationships in the Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem and Fayetteville, NC marketplace. We are looking for someone with experience in Group Benefit Sales who wants to join a high energy team. This team is built on a foundation of winning "team" culture centered around Development and partnerships both internally and externally.

Success in this role requires a passionate pursuit of excellence in delivering results and cultivating relationships.
