About The Position

The Program Broker is a front-line revenue role accountable for driving new business production for Citadel’s direct-to-insured insurance programs across core Property & Casualty coverages (including General Liability, Professional Liability, Inland Marine, and other program offerings as applicable). This role is designed for a high-energy, inside sales, phone-first prospector and closer who thrives on disciplined outreach, rapid qualification, short-cycle consultative selling, and consistent close practices. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Utah. The Program Broker operates under the guidance of the VP of Sales Operations and partners closely with Underwriting, Program Management, Marketing, and Service/Operations to deliver a best-in-class buying experience—combining efficient execution with a personal, relationship-driven customer approach. For the right individual, this role offers the opportunity to help scale a high-growth insurance program while sharpening consultative sales skills and building durable customer relationships.

• Proven ability to execute multi-touch follow-up strategies and close business in short-cycle sales environments.
• Comfort working in CRM systems and following structured sales processes; strong organizational and time-management skills.
• High school diploma/GED required, college coursework or degree preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Sales methodology training/certifications (e.g., Dynamics of Selling for Insurance, CPIA, Producer Accelerator, or similar) a plus.

Responsibilities

• Phone-First Prospecting & Multi-Touch Pipeline Creation Execute structured daily call blocks focused on outbound prospecting and rapid response to inbound leads, maintaining a strong speed-to-lead mindset. Run disciplined multi-touch outreach sequences (call, voicemail, SMS, email) with consistent follow-up and clearly defined next steps. Apply confident closing behaviors, including assumptive next steps, objection handling, and always scheduling the next customer interaction.
• Consultative Discovery & Qualification (Insured Risk Fit) Conduct fast, thorough discovery conversations to confirm program fit, decision-maker access, timing, and urgency. Gather underwriting-ready risk details, including operations, payroll or revenue, subcontractor usage, tools and equipment, job types, claims history, and prior coverage. Communicate with an efficient, engaging, and customer-centered style that builds trust while maintaining sales momentum.
• Quoting, Presenting, and Binding Partner with Underwriting to submit clean, complete submissions and reduce time-to-quote. Present coverage options in clear, plain language and connect recommendations to ensure exposures and contractual requirements. Drive decisions from quote to bind by setting clear expectations, defining timelines, and executing proactive follow-up.
• CRM Discipline, Activity Standards & Performance Management Maintain exceptional CRM hygiene (Salesforce and/or Zoho), including accurate pipeline stages, detailed notes, tasks, and documented next steps. Operate within established team cadences, including activity expectations, pipeline reviews, coaching rhythms, and performance standards. Track, analyze, and continuously improve key performance metrics such as dials, connects, appointments set, quotes delivered, quote-to-bind ratio, cycle time, and written premium. Demonstrate consistent progress toward defined ramp and production expectations within the first 90–180 days.
• Cross-Functional Alignment & Program Execution Partner with Marketing and Sales Operations to improve lead routing, talk tracks, outreach sequencing, and conversion performance. Provide voice-of-customer feedback to refine messaging, objection handling, and program positioning as offerings scale.
• Customer Success & Relationship Building Deliver a best-in-class buying experience through responsiveness, accurate expectation-setting, and clean handoffs to servicing teams.
