Medical Policy Specialist jobs in Grand Rapids, MI

Overview:
We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented individual to join our team as an Administrative/Executive Assistant. You will provide administrative support, coordinate projects, and assist with various office tasks associated with a growing health and life insurance agency. We help people with their individual health insurance, Medicare insurance options, social security optimization, life insurance, and annuities. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is computer-savvy, has strong organizational skills, and enjoys working in a fast-paced environment. This position is in-person with a somewhat flexible work schedule. You may need to work evenings from time to time, but you would be notified in advance. We have a VERY busy time of year from October through December that is similar to tax season for accountants. That time of year is ALL HANDS ON DECK and your presence is significantly needed. During the rest of the year, we still work, but it is much more relaxed, especially on beautiful Michigan days. You may also be asked to participate in community outreach events such as trade shows, charity golf events (we are not great golfers but we have tons of fun), client appreciation events, marketing events, and networking events. This is a full-time position that may lead into a more significant role as an agent producer, but if you love the job, you will not be forced into something else. We need you and hope to hear from you soon!

Responsibilities:
- Perform general administrative duties such as answering phone calls, responding to emails, cold calling prospects that respond to our ads, and maintaining an efficient office environment.

- Ability to multitask and prioritize tasks effectively

You will be required to obtain your insurance license. This is a non-negotiable and you will be required to obtain it within 90 days.
