Our football clients include youth leagues, high school programs, semi-pro and arena leagues, and governing bodies at the regional and national level. This is a rare opportunity to combine a passion for the sport with a high-growth career path in specialty insurance.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Risk Management, Marketing, or a related field (rising Sophomore, Junior, or Senior preferred)

• Genuine interest in football (playing, coaching, officiating, or fan-level passion for the sport) — no prior insurance experience required

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to correspond professionally with clients and carriers

• Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple accounts and deadlines simultaneously

• Self-starter with a collaborative mindset and eagerness to learn a technical, specialized industry

• Customer-first mindset and high ethical standards

• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); experience with CRM tools is a plus

• Familiarity with football league structures, governing bodies (Pop Warner, NFHS, USA Football), or sports administration is a meaningful advantage

• How specialty insurance programs for youth and amateur football are structured, priced, and placed

• The roles of admitted vs. surplus lines carriers and how ESP accesses specialty markets for sports risks

• How to build and manage an insurance submission from exposure gathering through binding coverage

• Participant accident medical insurance — a core product for sports leagues — including coverage triggers, limits, and claims coordination
