About The Position

Trellis Financial is hiring Producer Services Specialists—the front line of our producer experience and a critical part of how we build lasting relationships with our distribution partners. This team is often the first point of contact when an agent has a question, and their ability to turn those moments into trusted, productive conversations is what drives producers to choose Trellis again and again.
This is a service-oriented role at its core, requiring strong product knowledge, a commitment to accuracy and responsiveness, and a genuine, professional warmth that makes producers feel valued and supported. You’ll be joining a small, high-caliber team responsible for setting the standard for how Trellis serves and supports its producer community now and in the future.
We are seeking individuals with strong producer-facing instincts, a genuine curiosity around annuity products, and a service mindset that transforms everyday inquiries into standout experiences.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Producer Services Specialist serves as the primary service contact for Trellis’s independent agents, IMO/MGA partners, and distribution organizations. In this role, you’ll deliver white-glove, phone-based support to producers—addressing inquiries related to application status, NIGO resolution, product features, commissions, and contracting—while building the trust and product expertise that position you as a true partner to the field.
This role combines deep annuity product fluency with a composed, solutions-oriented communication style that producers value and remember. You’ll collaborate closely with Trellis Operations, Compliance, and our Producer Services back-office team to ensure each producer interaction is handled smoothly, accurately, and with exceptional care.
