At North Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance, we take pride in our strong, community-oriented roots that began right here in North Carolina. In 1953, our company was born out of the need to provide insurance coverage to our farmers and rural communities. Now, with local offices in each of the 100 counties, we provide services to all North Carolinians across the state.

Here at NCFB we are a familiar face in the community with a service oriented mindset that truly sets us apart. Guided by our mission, we are deeply committed to both our neighbors and employees.

As part of the Marketing Management engineering team, you will develop applications that support NCFB’s Agent Salesforce platform—the foundation of our statewide insurance operations.
