Commercial Lines Manager

Bangor, ME | Full-Time | On-Site | Travel within Maine
Represented by ProSearch on behalf of a confidential insurance client

About the Opportunity

ProSearch is partnering with a well-established Maine-based insurance agency to find an experienced Commercial Lines Manager.

This leadership role is ideal for a proven insurance operations professional who thrives on building strong teams, delivering exceptional client service, and driving growth within commercial lines. You’ll lead a talented group of account managers, collaborate with producers, and play a key role in optimizing workflows and carrier relationships across the agency.

This is more than management. It’s your chance to influence the future of a respected, client-first organization.

What You’ll Do

Lead Commercial Lines Operations

• Oversee all aspects of commercial P&C insurance operations: renewals, coverage reviews, quoting, and marketing.

• Ensure exceptional client service, competitive renewals, and high retention rates.
  

Coach & Develop a High-Performing Team

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of commercial lines account managers.

• Provide ongoing coaching, performance feedback, and professional development.

• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Assist in recruiting, onboarding, and succession planning.
  

Strengthen Carrier & Client Partnerships

• Build and maintain strong relationships with insurance carriers, underwriters, and marketing reps.

• Negotiate competitive terms for complex or high-value commercial insurance accounts.

• Act as an escalation point for service or coverage issues.

Drive Strategy & Agency Growth

• Partner with leadership to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for commercial lines growth.

• Support cross-selling and large account placements.

• Contribute to budgeting, planning, and strategic initiatives that advance agency goals.
  

Ensure Process Excellence & Compliance

• Maintain adherence to agency workflows, E&O best practices, and regulatory requirements.

• Conduct quality audits to ensure accuracy, documentation standards, and compliance.

• Identify process improvements and implement solutions that enhance operational efficiency.

Leverage Technology & Data

• Champion the use of digital tools and agency management systems (preferably EPIC) to streamline service delivery.

• Ensure data integrity, reporting accuracy, and adoption of new technologies that enhance client experience.

Collaborate Across Departments

• Partner with personal lines, claims, finance, and sales teams to deliver seamless client service.

• Lead or support cross-functional initiatives including client onboarding and marketing campaigns.
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years of commercial insurance experience, including at least 2 years in a leadership or management role.

• Strong understanding of commercial P&C insurance, coverages, endorsements, and underwriting.

• Proven ability to lead, coach, and motivate teams.

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills with carriers and clients alike.

• Strategic mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• Proficiency in agency management systems (EPIC preferred) and Microsoft Office Suite.

• Valid P&C license and willingness to travel within Maine.

• Professional designations (CIC, CPCU, ARM) highly valued.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a reputable, Maine-grown insurance agency with a strong client service legacy.

• Lead a collaborative and empowered team that values innovation and professional growth.

• Enjoy autonomy while influencing process improvements and department strategy.

• Work with a company that values relationships, accountability, and long-term success, not just transactions.
