About the opportunity
Looking for entrepreneurial sales executives to build and own a premium finance book of business. The title is Sales Executive, but this is a partnership, not a typical sales job: the book of business you build belongs to you.
Instead of grinding to hit quotas, logging a required number of calls, showing up at every event and keeping a small slice of the revenue you generate, you decide which activities are most valuable and you keep the lion's share of the revenue. The relationships you build are yours - and you can sell your book when you retire. We provide the platform, lender relationships, back-office support and operational infrastructure so you can focus on growing your book.
What you'll do
- Prospect, open and develop relationships with independent insurance agencies across your territory
- Choose the outreach mix that works best for you: calls, email, LinkedIn, agency visits, association events or industry conferences
- Educate agents and account managers on how premium finance helps them win and retain commercial accounts
- Become the go-to premium finance resource for producers, CSRs and agency principals
- Quote and structure premium finance programs, coordinating with lenders to get deals approved and funded
- Manage your own pipeline, CRM and activity, and track production against your goals
- Share market feedback with the partnership to help shape pricing, products and lender relationships
What we're looking for
- Background in B2B sales, ideally selling to independent insurance agents
- Experience as a marketing representative, territory manager or underwriter-facing sales rep for a wholesale broker, MGA or carrier (e.g., Travelers, Hartford, Liberty Mutual or similar)
- An existing network of independent agency relationships in your region is a strong plus
- Entrepreneurial and self-directed: you're energized by building something you own, not by a set schedule
- Comfortable prospecting cold and warm, and disciplined about daily activity without someone managing your calendar
- Strong communicator who can explain financial products clearly to producers and business owners
Helpful but not required
- Prior premium finance experience
- Knowledge of commercial P&C lines and how agencies place business
Compensation and structure
We will offer a "Bonus" or "Guarantee" to help you get started while you build your pipeline. Our expectation is that you'll outgrow it quickly; partners who hit their stride typically exceed the guarantee within 6 months.
After the guarantee period, you earn a majority share of the revenue your book generates. There's no cap: your income grows directly with the agency relationships and volume you build.
- You own your book of business
- New/Renewal business pays the same share
- You set your own schedule and run your own book of business
- We provide lender access, quoting and servicing support, compliance and back-office operations
Location
This is a fully remote role open currently open to candidates in the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain Area and Texas. Some travel for agency visits and industry events is expected.
How to apply
Send your resume and a short note to nbuich@premiumfinancebrokerage.com covering your sales background, the agency relationships you already have in your region, and why owning your own book appeals to you.
Pay: $50,000.00 - $500,000.00 per year

Tips for Your Remote Book Editor Job Search
Show your async editorial process upfront
Remote employers want to know you can manage a manuscript through multiple revision rounds without in-person meetings. Include a brief note in your cover letter describing how you use comments, tracked changes, and written feedback to keep authors and stakeholders aligned across distance.
Build a portfolio around completed projects
Remote hiring decisions rely heavily on work samples because there's no in-person interview day to assess instincts. Include before-and-after excerpts, editorial letters you've written, and a short note on each project explaining the scope and your specific role in shaping the manuscript.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote book editor openings from publishers and content companies across the U.S. in one place. Search the current listings, identify roles that match your editorial specialty, and apply directly while the postings are fresh.
Signal fluency with remote editorial tools
Name the specific tools you use in your resume and cover letter: Google Docs with tracked changes, Slack for async author communication, project management platforms for deadline tracking, and style guides you apply without prompting. Remote teams hire editors who don't need onboarding on workflow basics.
Remote Book Editor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote book editor job?
Target publishers, educational content companies, and digital media firms that operate distributed editorial teams, since these employers are most likely to post remote book editor roles. Remote hiring managers screen for strong written communication, the ability to manage revision cycles without in-person check-ins, and familiarity with style guides like Chicago. A portfolio of edited manuscripts and evidence of self-directed project management will put you ahead of generalist candidates.
Can you get a remote book editor job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level book editor roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage editorial workflows independently from day one. Smaller independent publishers and digital content startups are more open to candidates without formal experience. A portfolio of self-initiated editing projects, beta-reader credits, or volunteer editorial work for small presses can demonstrate the judgment and initiative remote employers need to see.
Do you need a degree for remote book editor jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about demonstrated editing skill than a specific credential. A portfolio showing clean developmental edits, copyedits, or proof of published work you've touched carries real weight. That said, a degree in English, communications, or a related field can help with competitive roles at larger publishers, so it's an asset rather than a strict requirement.
