Entry Level

Commercial Insurance Sales – Full-Time Position
Location: Sherwood Park
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

Are you looking to grow your insurance career in a welcoming, small-office environment? Our Sherwood Park team is looking for a self-motivated, energetic sales professional who is passionate about delivering exceptional, concierge-level service to clients and helping us grow our commercial insurance business.

If you're ready to break away from high-pressure sales quotas and the corporate cubicle life, this might be the right fit for you. In our agency, you'll have your own private office and work with a friendly, supportive team that genuinely cares for one another.

We can train you on the technical side – but strong people skills and a solid work ethic are essential.

As part of your onboarding, you'll also be trained on our personal lines (auto and property) systems to help provide vacation coverage for teammates in those roles.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and nurture leads within the commercial insurance space

  • Identify clients' insurance needs and risk exposures (e.g., building owners, property managers, and small business owners)

  • Market suitable products and services to meet client needs

  • Deliver prompt, accurate, and high-quality customer service

  • Handle inquiries related to quotes, coverage, policy changes, business moves, claims, and billing

What We're Looking For
  • Minimum General Level One Insurance Licence

  • At least one year of Commercial insurance experience

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

  • Excellent listening skills and attention to detail

  • Proficient with computers and able to learn new software quickly

  • Ability to work independently and adapt quickly

  • Familiarity with small communities in central and northern Alberta is an asset

Additional Assets
  • Post-secondary certificate or diploma in Business or Business Administration

  • CIP designation (or working toward it)

  • Experience in commercial insurance

Requirements
  • Must have a clear Canadian driving record (last 5 years) – occasional travel to client locations is required

  • Must meet Desjardins' onboarding requirements, including a background check, motor vehicle history, and credit check

Please Note: While this role is affiliated with Desjardins, the employer is Katherine Hanna Insurance Agency.

These positions are with an independent contractor agent that is part of the Desjardins exclusive agent network, not with Desjardins Group or its subsidiaries. This agents' employees are not employees of Desjardins. Independent contractor agents are responsible for and make all employment decisions regarding their employees.
