Sales Executive, Employee Benefits - Dallas Region

We’re determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals – and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future.   

Join a high-growth team focused on helping small businesses compete for talent through better benefits.

At The Hartford, we bring together the strength of a 215+ year legacy with a sharp focus on growth. Within Employee Benefits, our small-group (2–99 employees) segment is one of the fastest-growing areas of the business, and we’re expanding our sales team to meet increasing demand across Dallas TX.

We’re looking for a Sales Executive who enjoys relationship-based selling, values autonomy, and is motivated by growth, income potential, and building a meaningful book of business—while representing a trusted, nationally recognized brand.

• Educate producers on products, tools, and The Hartford’s value proposition

• Maintain a strong, consistent pipeline to deliver sustainable results
