Financial Sales Representative

About the Role

As a Financial Sales Representative, you'll build your own practice within Northwestern Mutual's 165-year-old institution. You'll prospect, develop relationships, and design tailored insurance and financial plans that help individuals, families, and business owners achieve lifelong financial security.

This isn't a job — it's a runway to entrepreneurship with the safety net of a Fortune 100 brand, a comprehensive training curriculum, and a senior mentor invested in your success.

What you'll do

• Build a book of business through networking, referrals, and community engagement
• Conduct discovery meetings to understand each client's goals and concerns
• Design and present customized insurance and financial planning recommendations
• Maintain ongoing relationships and review plans as clients' lives evolve
• Pursue industry licenses (Life & Health, Series 6, 63, 65/7) — fully supported by NM

What we look for

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
• Track record of resilience, discipline, and self-motivation
• Strong interpersonal skills and a desire to help others
• Entrepreneurial mindset — you want to build, not just clock in
• Coachable, with a long-term outlook on your career
