If you\u2019re an insurance professional and you\u2019re looking to move up in your career\u2014what about becoming a manager?<\/p>\n
As an insurance manager, you\u2019ll have some new responsibilities. Instead of hands-on work (such as claims adjusting), your role will be one that\u2019s more overseeing the work of others who report to you. You\u2019ll be in charge of making sure your direct reports are following guidelines and meeting deadlines. You may also be involved in recruiting, training, and retaining insurance workers. You\u2019ll be the first line when your employees have questions or need support.<\/p>\n
Most insurance professionals need just a high school diploma. As a manager, you\u2019ll need some work experience in the field and department you\u2019re managing. You might even be able to be promoted from within and move up within your own company if there\u2019s an opportunity.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll also need on-the-job training under an experienced team member until you\u2019re ready to set out on your own. Depending on the state in which you work and your role (for example, a manager of claims adjusters, appraisers, or examiners), you may require licensure, certification, or registration to perform your job.<\/p>\n
Skills that are important to insurance professionals and managers are:<\/p>\n
As of May 2019, the median annual wage for insurance claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators was $66,790 (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics). The lowest-paid workers earned less than $41,100, and the highest earners brought home more than $100,400. As you can see, it\u2019s quite a range, but there\u2019s an opportunity to make a respectable income. Government workers and those employed by a direct insurance carrier were among the highest earners.<\/p>\n
