Field Role

Kemper is a diversified insurance holding company that has been in business for over 100 years. We are committed to serving the insurance needs of modest‑income families. Our strength lies in frequent personal home visits with new and existing customers to collect premiums, conduct sales of new policies, and address other service needs. Kemp­er Life is actively seeking licensed agents to join our field sales teams.

As a licensed insurance agent, you will be assigned an established book of business that provides prospecting opportunities for new sales and immediate income through a collections commission for premiums collected each month. With a pay‑for‑performance compensation model, agents can determine their own income and expand earning potential as their book grows. Exceptional performance is recognized through awards, prizes, and company‑sponsored trips.

If you’re passionate about serving the underserved, this is the career for you. Our agents gain personal satisfaction and community prestige by performing meaningful work that helps clients protect the people and property they cherish.
