The Director of Territory Management leads territory management efforts to optimize and grow insurance coverage accessibility.
О компании
- Branch is on a mission to make insurance more accessible, so more people can be covered. We innovate using data, tech, and automation to simplify insurance from start to finish—we eliminated inaccurate quotes in favor of real prices, created a better way to bundle, and cut unnecessary costs in the traditional insurance process. Then we pass those savings along to our members. Basically, we’re doing insurance the way it was meant to be.
- But we didn’t just create the insurance we’ve always wanted, we also created the company we’ve always wanted to work for. As we redefine insurance, we also want to redefine what it means to work in insurance. Find out for yourself.
- Branch has a preference for candidates in Ohio, but is open to candidates located in AZ, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MD, MI, MO, NV, NC, OH, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, and WI. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
- Branch is remote first, with most Branchers choosing to work from home. Our headquarters are located in Columbus, Ohio, where we come together from time to time to build relationships and connect with each other in real life. We also have office space in Columbia and Concordia, Missouri as well as Forreston, Illinois. Once a year, the entire company gathers for “BranchFest”, a highlight of the year for many Branchers.

- Branch’s Director, Territory Management leads the field team responsible for growing quality new business through independent agencies. You carry an aggregate production target Branch’s US target market and are accountable for achieving it.
- Branch is moving from a remote, digitally delivered agency management model to an in-person one. This role is to build and continuously improve a new field sales organization. Your first job is to help it form, ramp and produce desired results.
- You will spend a meaningful share of every month in-market with your territory managers - riding along on agency visits, coaching live, and seeing for yourself what is and isn’t working in each state. You'll be the person who turns individual territories into one coordinated, accountable go-to-market motion.
- The most successful leaders are comfortable holding people to a number without losing them, model the motion they are coaching to, not just describe it, and design territories that are demanding and achievable. They turn what the team hears across territories into a case the business can act on.
- Lead the team. Manage, coach, and develop the team of Senior/Territory Managers, ensuring each owns a clear territory strategy and a prioritized agency list.
- Own the channel number. Carry a production target for bound premium and policy count across territories. Build it bottom-up from individual targets, forecast against it, and explain variance before you are asked.
- Calibrate agency prioritization. Own the framework for how agencies get tiered and ensure Territory Managers are applying it consistently. Ensure all agents have access to the tooling they need to best understand production trends from their target agencies and work to sharpen our collective understanding of where to fish for quality new business.
- Own and improve the playbook. Set, enforce and improve the standards Territory Managers work against (e.g. agency reintroduction, relationship-building, production commitments, HubSpot logging), and hold the team accountable to them within defined windows.
- Aggregate and report on territory performance. Roll up pipeline, quoting trends, and bound premium across all territories; report against target to leadership.
- Escalate and lead the highest-value relationships. Personally engage with priority agencies alongside your Territory Managers, to help steer the relationships productively and drive production.
- Translate ground truth into strategy. Synthesize what Territory Managers are hearing in-territory as it relates to competitive intel, pricing friction, product gaps, and feed it back to the key stakeholders at Branch in an organized and quantified way so it can be prioritized and corrected.
- Build team capability. Ensure Territory Managers are equipped to sell effectively - presentation materials, objection handling, product/appetite knowledge - including onboarding for reps without a P&C background and consistent coaching through observation.
- Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Marketing, Product, Underwriting, and Operations to remove barriers to production at scale rather than one agency at a time.
- Drive automation and tooling. Set the requirements for the systems and workflow changes that make the field team and the onboarding process more productive - CRM, quoting workflow, and agency-facing tools.
