The Account Executive (AE) retains and grows PartnerRe's in-force Employer Stop Loss (ESL) business through proactive account management, renewal execution, and an exceptional producer and customer experience. The AE is the primary day-to-day service contact for assigned producers and accounts, owns renewal execution and retention accountability, and partners with the Regional Sales Managers who originate new business.
By owning the in-force book following the sale, the AE enables Regional Sales Managers to stay focused on growth.
Job Description:
Account Management & Retention
- Serve as the primary day-to-day service contact for assigned producers and in-force accounts.
- Own renewal planning and execution in partnership with Underwriting; carry retention accountability for the assigned block.
- Develop and maintain strong producer relationships that support retention, profitability, and long-term growth.
- Identify account risks and expansion opportunities; recommend retention actions and refer new business opportunities to the Regional Sales Manager.
- Engage the Regional Sales Manager on at-risk accounts — significant renewal actions, new lasers, or deteriorating experience — where the relationship or retention is at risk.
Account Servicing & Implementation
- Coordinate implementation for new and renewing business; lead implementation meetings and confirm premium, reporting, and claim-administration requirements.
- Coordinate activities across Underwriting, Claims, Accounting, Contracting (Connexure), and other functions.
- Own service escalations through resolution (no special authority required).
- Route claims-related service issues to the Claims team as the primary contact.
- Support the transition of new business into ongoing account management following the RSM handoff.
- Engage Compliance and Licensing to ensure proper appointment and licensing of broker partners.
- Underwriting Partnership & Authority
- Partner with Underwriting on renewal evaluation and negotiation aligned to profitability objectives.
- Operate initially with no independent underwriting authority: any change to terms and conditions requires Underwriting approval.
Business Partnership & Reporting
- Maintain knowledge of ESL products, market trends, and industry developments.
- Maintain accurate account, renewal, and pipeline data in applicable systems.
- Monitor and report on retention, renewal activity, and block profitability.
- Contribute to the execution of PartnerRe's ESL value proposition and a positive producer experience.

- Current Life & Health license, or ability to obtain upon hire.
- Strong working knowledge of ESL products, processes, and account-lifecycle management.
- Serve as the service relationship lead for National Accounts, unless otherwise assigned by the VP, ESL.
- Establish AE processes, standards, and tools for the emerging AE team.
