What are the responsibilities and job description for the MBA Development Associate position at Goosehead Insurance?
About the Company
Goosehead Insurance is one of the fastest-growing insurance brokerages in the financial services industry, operating in a $500B market with less than 1% market share. Our franchise model offers entrepreneurs a chance to build equity in a business that provides residual income via enterprise-level infrastructure and a proven playbook for growth. This is a unique opportunity to capitalize on a recession-resistant market with an economic model built for scale.
About the Role
We are selectively partnering with recent MBA graduates to lead franchise expansion in high-growth markets. Qualified candidates will receive world-class training, mentorship, and a clear path to business ownership, without the immediate financial burden, through Goosehead’s 4-week MBA Development Program. This unique program will equip a future franchise owner with the tools, insights, and partnerships necessary to build and scale their own Goosehead Insurance agency. Graduates of the MBA Development Program may have the opportunity to launch a Goosehead franchise with limited upfront monetary investment. This program structure is designed to remove barriers to entry for top-tier talent while still delivering full economic upside.
