  • Collaboration - Growing alongside peers in national and regional sales competitions to invigorate your passion for sales and curiosity about the insurance brokerage world.
  • Building Professional Acumen - Learning about our Risk Management, Benefits, Wholesale and Claims businesses. This will help to build a better understanding of clients’ needs and opportunities for growth.
  • Culture - You'll experience first-hand the impact our “Gallagher Way” has on how we do business.
  • Being a Team Player - Helping with various regional and/or branch projects, showing your passion to learn and be mentored by employees excited to help you navigate your future.
