Commercial Lines Account Manager

Lathrop Insurance Agency

Lathrop Insurance is a fourth-generation, family-owned agency that protects ambitious businesses and successful families across New England. We deliver tailored insurance programs through trusted relationships, strategic insight, and a relentless focus on service. If you are solutions-driven, detail-oriented, and want to grow with a high-performing team, we want to hear from you.

Position Summary

As a Commercial Lines Account Manager, you will manage a diverse book of business — from professional services to real estate portfolios and construction firms — overseeing accounts with multiple coverages, entities, and locations. You will serve as the primary client contact, responsible for renewals, endorsements, certificates, marketing strategy, and client communications.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical insurance knowledge, excellent communication skills, and a sense of urgency. You understand the “why” behind coverage and compliance, and you use technology to make that knowledge scalable. You're confident in a client meeting and comfortable negotiating with carriers — someone who takes ownership and delivers results, and you are looking for an employer who values your commitment and wants to grow with you.
