Internship Opportunities

I started at AssuredPartners March of 2021 and transitioned to full time September of 2021. As an intern, I focused on making as many calls as possible and proving myself to be someone who had the potential to be a successful producer with strong work ethic. I also focused heavily on networking both inside and outside the office; many interns don’t talk to their office peers. These peers, especially the ones who are successful, hold the key to your future. Whether it is an account executive who is willing to look over prospects policies and point out multiple large exclusions, or a fellow producer who is able to connect with a prospect you’ve set a meeting with, your peers and mentors can be vital in securing accounts. My advice for interns looking to pursue a full time role and gain an excessive amount of income to provide for their families is make the calls, think long and hard about which producer to take with you on your initial meetings, and follow the blueprint process. Don’t give in to the competition and be one to offer quotes, be the one to respectfully back away from the opportunity if the prospect isn’t willing to follow through with our process. What works for you might not work for someone else, but you are working for yourself, so follow your gut and continue to perform those actions that are leading to success.

I joined AssuredPartners in May of 2018 as a Regional Operations Intern in Kansas City, MO. When I joined AP, I wasn’t very familiar with the insurance industry or all the opportunities it had to offer. Throughout my internship program, I was able to learn how diverse the industry is and how it could offer me a career that fit my own interests and skills. My favorite part of the program was all the relationships I was able to make, individuals I met throughout the process, and the opportunities that were provided to me! When I joined AP full-time in May 2019, I was a Central States and Great Plains Regional Acquisition Manager and continued to grow and develop in my role and overall experience. As of January 2022, I am the Central States Regional Operations Manager. The growth opportunities are there but it’s up to you to get out of your comfort zone and take advantage of the opportunities offered. If you are someone that likes to advance their knowledge, network with professionals, bring new ideas to the table, and pave the way for your future, AssuredPartners is the company for you.

It’s been a little over a year now since I joined the AssuredPartners family initially as an intern, and as of May 2022, I was able to step into the full-time role of Sales Operations Administrator and am excited to help improve our sales operations! The National Intern Program with AP gave me the resources and confidence to learn, network, ask questions, as well as guidance to transition to a professional work environment. My biggest takeaway has been to be eager to learn, you won’t have an answer until you ask the question, and everyone in the company is more than happy to help you find that answer. Coming straight out of graduation from Florida State University, college to corporate can seem intimidating but the support from the team I work on and other individuals in the company helped make the transition easy. I had no idea what I was getting involved in with this internship, but I got more than I could ask for and am excited to continue growing with AssuredPartners!

When I first started with AssuredPartners as an intern, I had no idea it would lead me to a full-time career. A job that started as a way to make money during the summer brought me to people that I enjoy working with, responsibilities that taught me accountability and ownership, and growth that I never dreamed would be attainable at this level of my career. Starting as a Commercial Service Intern in 2015, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to agency management system functionality and processes, insurance coverages and workflows, as well as the overall operations of a brokerage firm. Surrounded by a team that wanted nothing but growth and saw my success as their success, I was able to also intern with the Personal Lines department, Surety department, Sales department, and ultimately where I found my passion, the Regional Operations team. AssuredPartners’ dedication to its employees and growth-centric operations are well reflected within my career. Finding a mentor that took me under their wing allowed me the opportunity to prove myself and create value within the organization. Ultimately getting to lead a team of insurance professionals, I now get to have a positive impact within the company, my coworkers, and the industry by leading the P&C regional acquisition integration process, developing and executing all regional initiatives, and working directly with offices in my region on agency structure, operational strategy, and talent / leadership development.
