Regional Vice President - Retirement

Symetra continually seeks driven annuity wholesalers to join our team as Regional Vice Presidents. We encourage you to apply, and if you’re a strong fit, we’ll reach out to you directly as opportunities become available in your area.

About the role

The Regional Vice President (RVP) reports to the Divisional Vice President. The RVP receives an annual Incentive Compensation Plan, which articulates the sales goals for the year. The RVP will work closely with the DVP, their aligned Internal Wholesaler, and the Sales Support Specialist to create a targeted sales plan for the territory. The RVP must fully understand Symetra’s retirement products, marketing, and resources that assist in territory development, such as sales effectiveness data, marketing tools (digital & printed), and technology and an in-depth knowledge of Symetra’s existing producers within the territory. Proper adoption and execution of the Symetra Sales Process is required to maximize territory sales, including a well-articulated value proposition to ensure sales success. Additionally, the RVP must grow its territory through new producer relationships. The position requires 75% field travel to build the relationships necessary to reach sales targets through new producer acquisition and by growing Symetra’s market share in the aligned territory. In addition to one-on-one meetings, the RVPs will lead group meetings, roundtable discussions and public seminars for Financial Professionals, Bankers, and others within the industry. The RVP is expected to maintain high professional conduct, ensuring that all FINRA, SEC, Department of Insurance, Symetra Compliance, and Firm policies are strictly adhered to.
