What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Insurance Broker position at SimpleCITI?
SimpleINSURE is a growing commercial insurance brokerage, based in Garden City, NY, built for producers who want to write real business across multiple industries and coverage lines. We currently focus on core commercial placements including general liability, workers’ comp, commercial auto, BOPs, umbrella, professional liability, cyber, and specialty risks, with plans to continue expanding carrier and product access. We are seeking sales and operational staff.
Our agency is affiliated with our established real estate and specialty finance platform with active operating businesses, properties, and investment-related entities.
