LPLIA is searching for an experienced and driven Life Insurance Case Manager that is self-motivated to deliver world-leading customer service. The Life Insurance Case Manager role provides our financial advisors with an advocate and navigator that will lead our advisors through the life pricing process. The Case Management team plays an instrumental role with regards to sales fulfillment by working closely with our carrier sponsor partners and our internal sales colleagues to place cases inforce. In addition, the Case Management team utilizes life underwriting resources such as Swiss Re to help interpret medical records or lab results in order to determine whether a final underwriting approval from a sponsor is solid. The Case Management team is responsible for understanding all functions of operations including Licensing & Contracting, specific state regulations (Reg 187, Reg 60), and the Post Issue process.

* Negotiate with sponsor carrier underwriters to secure the best offer on a case or to persuade a sponsor underwriter to waive or provide alternate solutions to get to a final decision. This will ensure that the Case Manager is working as the advisor's advocate and will help to ensure an offer is received as quickly as possible

* Analyze new client applications once received from the operations staff to ensure the rate applied for meets the carrier's medical and financial underwriting guidelines

* Escort financial advisors through multiple regulations including the variable suitability process, Regulation 187, and Regulation 60, etc.
