Sales Leadership Development Manager

Ready to build something bigger?

The Sales Leadership Development Manager opportunity is designed for entrepreneurial-minded sales professionals who want more than a traditional sales role.

As an independent contractor with Colonial Life, you'll have the opportunity to grow an employee benefits sales business by developing client relationships, expanding market presence, recruiting licensed sales professionals, and driving business growth within your market.

Colonial Life helps employers provide voluntary benefits that can help employees protect their income and finances when unexpected life events occur. Working with businesses of all sizes, Colonial Life offers a portfolio of benefits solutions, including accident, disability, life, cancer, critical illness and hospital indemnity insurance. In this opportunity, you'll work with employers, brokers and benefit decision-makers to help expand access to these products while supporting employee education and enrollment.

The more effectively you grow your business, the greater your potential for increased income and long-term success. Success in this opportunity is typically reflected through objective business results, including sales growth, recruitment activity, client retention, and overall business development.

If you're looking for the opportunity to build a scalable business, create lasting value in your market, and directly influence your own success, this could be the right opportunity for you.

With this opportunity, you can:

• Build and expand your own independent sales business
• Increase your income through personal production and business growth
• Recruit independent sales professionals into your organization
• Leverage Colonial Life's training resources, products, and support infrastructure
• Grow your footprint in the marketplace and create long-term business value

We’re not offering a typical management role. The Sales Leadership Development Manager is an independent contractor who operates an independent business and may leverage Colonial Life's products, resources, and support infrastructure.

If you're excited by the challenge of creating business growth and expanding your impact, let's talk.

Colonial Life believes in making a lasting impact by helping employers and employees prepare for life's unexpected challenges. Through a broad portfolio of voluntary benefits solutions, Colonial Life works with businesses across the country to help employees protect their financial well-being. Backed by Colonial Life's 80 years of trust and growth, Colonial Life is committed to fostering a people-first culture and providing support to independent insurance agents through training resources, business support, and industry-leading products.

©2026 Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company. Colonial Life insurance products are underwritten by Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, for which Colonial Life is the marketing brand.

Established in 1937, Colonial Life partners with more than 90,000 businesses nationally, protecting 49 million workers, with local offices in 49 states. We provide voluntary benefits at the worksite that offer employees financial protection when the unexpected moments in life happen, like an accident, illness or injury. Sometimes called “supplemental insurance,” voluntary benefits are used to help fill gaps in major medical and other insurance that only covers direct costs such as doctor’s visits, surgery costs, and medication expenses. Our voluntary insurance products are paid directly to the employee so the money can be used for medical bills or daily expenses.
