What will the Sales Distribution Intern do?
Relationships are the cornerstone of business partnerships. A strong, stable relationship helps both business partners thrive and excel in their partnership, and if strong enough, it can overcome any hurdles along the way. At Coterie, we believe the key to creating those durable relationships is through the demonstration of our core values of integrity, passion, intelligence and humility.
You’re driven, resourceful, and above all else – remarkably intelligent. You love a good challenge. You are the first to roll up your sleeves and work with relentless energy until you solve the unsolvable, beat the unbeatable and you always come out on top. We surround ourselves with the most talented and agile professionals in the industry, but we check our egos at the door. Our Distribution Internship on our Growth Team gives you the opportunity to work side by side with some of the best talent in the insurance industry.
Our collaborative culture will allow you to learn from the expertise surrounding you and to share your own knowledge and experience with colleagues. You’ll be asked to speak up and challenge the status quo – you have a voice and will be encouraged to use it.
You will be a member of a fast-paced, highly skilled, and collaborative distribution team and have the opportunity to build your knowledge, skills and sales acumen through teamwork and communicating in an open, balanced, and objective manner.
