Ever wonder who keeps the wheels turning while everyone else is out closing deals and shaking hands? That's right – it's the Business Development Coordinator
. We're the unsung heroes who make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way.

We're looking for our next Business Development Coordinator to join our Protection Team. You'll be the person our Financial Services Representatives count on when they need someone who actually knows what's going on. Think of yourself as part detective, part therapist, and part miracle worker – but with better benefits.

This Business Development Coordinator role is perfect for someone who gets a weird satisfaction from organizing chaos and turning "impossible" deadlines into "no problem" victories.

• Turn messy application paperwork into streamlined processes that actually make sense
• Use Sales Force to keep everyone in the loop (and secretly judge people who don't update their cases)
• Become the go-to person for training advisors and their teams – basically, you'll be the office guru
• Build relationships with underwriters and vendors (some of whom might even become your work friends)
• Play scheduler extraordinaire for client medical exams

• Track applications like a bloodhound and hunt down any delays before they become disasters
• Jump in when things get crazy busy (spoiler alert: they will)
• Know when to handle things yourself and when to tap your manager on the shoulder
• Actually understand what this company is trying to achieve (revolutionary concept, we know)

The Non-Negotiables:

• Bachelor's degree (preferably in something that taught you how to think)
• 2+ years of business analyst or operations experience where you actually had to solve real problems
• You can organize a sock drawer and a complex business process with equal enthusiasm

The Person ality We Want:

• You're naturally analytical but don't make everything unnecessarily complicated
• People look to you for answers, and you usually have them (or know where to find them)
• Change doesn't freak you out – in fact, you kind of like the challenge
• You can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball (or your sanity)
• You genuinely care about doing right by clients, even when they're not looking
• You spot problems before they become the kind that require emergency meetings

• Make you the person everyone relies on (in the best way possible)
• Let you actually see the impact of your work on real people's lives
• Give you the inside scoop on how a successful financial services firm really operates
• Set you up with skills that will make future employers fight over you

As our Business Development Coordinator
, you'll be the bridge between "this seems impossible" and "wow, how did you make that happen so fast?" You'll work with Life, Disability, and Long-Term Care insurance – which sounds boring until you realize you're helping people protect what matters most to them.

• Salary: $67,000 - $78,000 (because we believe in paying people what they're worth)
• Full benefits package that actually covers the stuff you need
• Training and development opportunities (we want you to grow, not just survive)
• A team that will have your back when things get hectic
• Flexibility when life happens (because it always does)
• Real advancement opportunities as we continue growing

If you're someone who thrives on making order out of madness and gets genuine satisfaction from helping others succeed, we should talk. This Business Development Coordinator position is perfect for someone who wants to be essential, not just employed.

To Apply: Send us your resume and a cover letter that shows us your personality to t.wa . Tell us about a time you turned a mess into a success – we want to hear your story.

Apply for this Business Development Coordinator role today – we promise it'll be anything but boring.

We're an equal opportunity employer, which means we judge you solely on your ability to get stuff done, not on anything that doesn't matter.
