Reporting to a Divisional Sales Manager, this role combines strategic territory development, relationship management and point-of-sale support to help financial advisors address clients9 retirement income needs.

What you9ll need:

  • Experience selling annuities, retirement income, or wealth management solutions through advisor distribution channels.
  • Experience working with financial advisors, registered representatives, or wealth management professionals, with strong knowledge of fixed and variable annuity products, retirement income strategies, and advisor-based distribution channels.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills, with the ability and willingness to travel extensively throughout the territory (approximately 80%).
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.

It9d be a plus if you had:
  • Demonstrated success growing annuity sales within a geographically dispersed Advisor channel.

Prudential welcomes all applicants, even if you don9t meet every requirement. If your skills align with the role, we encourage you to apply.


What we offer you:


  • Market competitive base salaries, with a yearly bonus potential at every level.
