About The Position

Kemper is hiring a full-time Life Insurance Sales Agent in a field role serving modest-income families.

After becoming licensed, agents receive an established territory and book of current customers. Compensation includes a percentage of collected premiums and commissions on new sales, with income potential tied to performance. Superior performance may be recognized through awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips. Agents make personal visits to new and existing customers to collect premiums, sell policies, and address service needs.

The role offers the opportunity to serve customers and help them protect the people and property they value.
