What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Lines Account Executive position at Wells Insurance?
Commercial Lines Account Executive
Wilmington, NC | Full Time | Hybrid Flexibility
You don’t just manage commercial accounts, you build resilient businesses.
At Wells Insurance, we’re looking for a Commercial Lines Account Executive who brings clarity to complexity and hustle to opportunity. This isn’t just a sales role, it’s a strategic advisory position for someone who can navigate layered risk, lead meaningful conversations, and still pick up the phone when it matters most.
The Role
As a Commercial Lines Account Executive, you’ll own the full advisory lifecycle, from exposure discovery to placement strategy to long term retention. You’ll work with growing, sophisticated clients who expect more than a policy, they want a partner.
You’ll
- Grow a book through proactive production and trusted relationships with midsize to large commercial clients
- Assess exposures with depth, prepare placement strategies that hold up under pressure, and position clients for smart risk transfer
- Navigate MOD analysis, loss trends, and contractual nuances with fluency
- Present renewal and new business strategies with confidence, alongside sharp proposals that reflect true understanding
- Work in tandem with Account Managers, Marketers, and Carrier Partners to deliver consistent outcomes that exceed expectations
- Serve as a lead voice on accounts, anchoring relationships through responsiveness, presence, and practical expertise
What You Bring
- A current NC P&C license and a solid foundation of 2 years in commercial insurance
- Proven experience advising clients with complex risks, not just selling, but truly guiding
- Strong command of markets, forms, rating logic, and coverage construction
- Confidence with numbers, timelines, and face to face conversations
- EPIC proficiency preferred (or a quick study who documents impeccably)
- A desire to learn, grow, and never send a submission you wouldn’t underwrite yourself
- Humility, urgency, and the professional pride to own your work
Performance Indicators
We’ll look at the numbers (new business revenue, retention, coverage depth), but also
- The strength of your carrier relationships
- Your ability to deliver under pressure
- Your presence in the room when clients need a steady hand
What You’ll Get
At Wells, we’ve spent 100 years building a culture where professionals can do their best work, with the infrastructure, trust, and independence to make it happen.
- Competitive salary performance incentives
- Fully paid continuing ed and licensing support
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and disability benefits
- Company sponsored 401(k) with match
- Generous PTO, holidays, and volunteer time
- A leadership team that backs you, not blocks you
