The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, managing, and optimizing the company's relationships with employee benefits carriers. This strategic leadership role involves establishing and leading national partnership strategies, overseeing contract management, and serving as a key liaison to ensure that carrier resources align with business and client needs. The VP will also be tasked with program leadership, performance management, and maintaining strong, strategic relationships with carrier partners.

A Life and Health insurance license is required, and a Bachelor's degree is a must, with an MBA being preferred.

Strong business and financial acumen, proficiency in MS Office, and a deep understanding of modern insurance technology and AI applications in the industry are also essential.
