[Hiring] Agent Services Representative @Group 1001

Role Description

The Agent Services Representative is responsible for the accurate and timely processing of agent- and agency-related documentation in support of Delaware Life's operations. This role serves as a critical operational partner to agents, agencies, back offices, and internal stakeholders — ensuring agent records, licensing, and appointments are maintained in good order across the agent lifecycle.

The ideal candidate is a detail-driven critical thinker who thrives in a dynamic, regulation-heavy environment, communicates clearly, and brings a positive, collaborative attitude to a team that frequently navigates change. The individual must demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced financial services environment.
