Description

Find your place at The Partners Group, a purpose-driven company committed to making a difference in our community through our work and inspiring others to do the same!

TPG’s success is driven by a culture that values partnerships. We’re looking for people who invest in their relationships, seek to learn, create winning solutions for all, and do what they say they are going to do. “Hard work” goes without saying at TPG, supported by our culture that thrives on having fun while living well. This is what it means to be a partner for our clients and teammates.

Are you ready to join an amazing team that has won too many Employer of Choice awards to list? Let’s work together!

The Partners Group has an outstanding opportunity for recent college graduates or emerging professionals to join our IGNITE Program through our Employee Benefits team in our Renton-area office!

How you will have an impact at TPG

TPG’s IGNITE Program is designed to start your insurance career off right. You will receive in-house classroom training, a behind-the-scenes look at each of our business units, teambuilding with other emerging professionals, time with our President and CEO, mentoring, and more!

You will receive hands-on training by first learning how to support your team and clients in a client service role, which can also prepare you for a career path in Sales. Rather than throwing you in without a life preserver, we give you “swimming lessons” so you can develop the business acumen and expertise needed to be able to build your career with us.

TPG serves many household brands. We can’t mention them here, but you will find them in your local grocery store, on billboards, and more. Why work for one great company when you can work with many?

As an Employee Benefits Marketing Specialist, you will earn your life and health insurance license, learn how to service an employer’s employee benefits plans, create and utilize spreadsheets with complex Excel formulas, acquire basic medical knowledge, become a "legal eagle" of employee benefits, and more.

As a future Employee Benefits Account Manager, you will put clients’ best interests first. You are a partner who solves problems by building custom insurance strategies that discover, protect, and enhance your clients’ future. You’ll establish relationships and nurture them for many years to come.
