Commercial Risk Advisor

Job Overview

Are you someone who loves meeting people, building relationships, and helping businesses solve problems? Do you thrive when you’re out in the community creating connections instead of sitting behind a desk waiting for leads?

Leland Smith Insurance Services (LSI) is looking for a Commercial Insurance Risk Advisor to join our growing team and help protect businesses throughout Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana, and the surrounding region from financial risk.

We are an independent, locally owned insurance agency built on relationships, integrity, and doing what is right for our clients. We believe insurance is not just about selling policies—it’s about understanding people, protecting what they’ve built, and being there when life doesn’t go according to plan.

We are looking for a driven, personable professional who will be the face of Leland Smith Insurance Services in the business community.

You might be a great fit if you are:

• A successful insurance producer ready for a better opportunity
• A sales professional looking to transition into insurance
• A community-minded person who naturally builds relationships everywhere you go
• Someone who enjoys hunting for opportunities instead of waiting for them to appear

Why Leland Smith Insurance Services?

At Leland Smith Insurance Services, we don’t believe insurance is a commodity. Businesses don’t need someone who simply shops quotes—they need someone who understands their risks, advocates for them, and helps them make smart decisions.

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of something bigger: protecting local businesses, strengthening our communities, and building relationships that last.

If you’re ready to get out in the community, make connections, and build something meaningful, we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and tell us why you would be a great fit for Leland Smith Insurance Services.

Your territory is Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana—your office is the community.

• Previous commercial insurance experience preferred, but we are willing to train the right person with proven sales ability and a passion for helping others

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain strong relationships with business owners and community leaders throughout Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana.
