Account Executive

Employee Benefits Consulting

The Nutter Group | Schaumburg, Illinois

Not Your Typical Brokerage Role

If you currently work at a large brokerage and feel like you are managing accounts instead of leading strategy, this role may be worth exploring.

The Nutter Group is intentionally built differently.

We are a growing firm with a strong reputation and a loyal client base. Our structure is lean. We are not layered, committee-driven, or built around internal bureaucracy. Talented people here are trusted with responsibility and real ownership.

If you want direct influence on client strategy, visible impact on outcomes, and a meaningful role in shaping the future of a firm, this may be the right environment.

About The Nutter Group

Founded in 1991, The Nutter Group is a privately held consulting firm specializing in employee benefits, risk management, and HR and payroll advisory.

We partner with growing and mid-sized employers to design and manage competitive, cost-effective benefits programs. Our work focuses heavily on strategy, financial modeling, and disciplined renewal positioning.

We combine the responsiveness of a boutique firm with the analytical discipline and carrier access often associated with national brokerages.

Our clients stay with us because we lead proactively and execute with consistency.

The Role

The Account Executive owns and strategically guides a defined book of business.

You are responsible for renewal outcomes, client satisfaction, and long-term retention. This role requires someone comfortable leading conversations with executives, evaluating funding strategies, and guiding clients through complex benefit decisions.

This is not an order-taking position.

Key Responsibilities

Client Strategy & Leadership

• Serve as the primary strategic advisor for assigned client relationships
• Lead executive-level discussions around benefits strategy and long-term planning
• Maintain strong relationships with leadership teams and HR partners

Renewal Strategy

• Lead renewal planning and carrier negotiations
• Develop contribution modeling and financial projections
• Evaluate funding structures including fully insured, level-funded, and self-funded plans
• Identify plan design improvements and cost management strategies

Market & Carrier Strategy

• Lead marketing and RFP processes with insurance carriers
• Evaluate competing carrier proposals and plan options
• Guide clients through carrier selection decisions

Implementation & Execution

• Oversee plan implementations and renewals
• Ensure clean execution across carriers, payroll systems, and benefit platforms
• Coordinate internally to ensure strong service delivery

Internal Leadership

• Provide guidance and mentorship to analysts and support staff
• Contribute to improvements in process, technology, and client experience

What Makes This Role Different

• Direct ownership of your client relationships and outcomes
• Close access to firm leadership and decision-makers
• The ability to influence firm strategy, processes, and technology
• Less bureaucracy and internal politics than large brokerage environments
• A visible role in the continued growth of the firm

Accountability and autonomy go together here.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Risk Management, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in employee benefits consulting or brokerage
• Strong understanding of medical plan structures and funding strategies
• Experience leading renewals and carrier negotiations
• Strong analytical and communication skills

Preferred

• Experience working with mid-market employer groups
• Familiarity with benefits administration and payroll platforms
• Professional designations such as CEBS, RHU, or similar

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without future sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary based on experience
• Performance-based bonus tied to retention, growth, and impact
• Health, dental, life, & disability benefits
• 401(k) with employer match
• Opportunity for long-term leadership and expanded influence

A Final Thought

If you are thriving in your current environment and prefer a more structured, layered organization, this role may not be the right fit.

If you want your work to carry more weight, your voice to influence strategy, and your trajectory to be driven by performance, we would welcome a conversation.
