Deeply Rooted to Serve Oakbridge Insurance Agency is a new kind of insurance and risk management agency with the mission to transform and elevate the way business is done in our industry. For over 100 years, the founding firms of Oakbridge worked alongside each other in small towns and cities throughout the Southeast, cultivating similar company cultures and best practices, and earning each other's respect in the industry. They envisioned a way to impact the future of insurance and formed Oakbridge Insurance Agency on January 1, 2021. Since forging this different path, we are proud to have added additional partners to Oakbridge who reflect our vision, demonstrate our core values, and share our commitment to doing what is right for our friends and neighbors. Our most important asset is our people. We offer a friendly and flexible work environment and offer first‑class benefits to meet the needs of you and your family. Benefits include a 401k plan with immediate participation, company match, and immediate 100% vesting. Company‑paid benefits include life insurance and short‑and long‑term disability. We have a strong health insurance plan and many supplemental, voluntary offerings. Oakbridge Insurance is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
