Location: Portland Hillsboro Airport (Yes, you’ll work at an actual airport!)
Ready to Soar into an Extraordinary Career?
We’re not your typical insurance agency. We’re a tight-knit family business that’s been protecting dreams that fly for generations. Located right on the tarmac at Portland Hillsboro Airport, we wake up every day to the sound of propellers spinning and jets taking off – and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
What Makes Us Different?
Family Values, Aviation Passion: As a multi-generational family business, we believe in treating our team like family. You’ll know everyone’s name, celebrate birthdays together, and work alongside people who genuinely care about your success. No corporate bureaucracy here – just real people building something meaningful together.
The Coolest Office in Insurance: Your workspace overlooks active runways where private jets, vintage warbirds, and experimental aircraft come and go daily. Sip your gourmet office coffee (and snacks!) while working and watch a beautiful vintage Cessna take off, or witness a sleek Citation jet landing from an exotic destination. Every day brings new aircraft to admire!
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)
You’ll become part of the voice and heart of our operation, helping pilots, aircraft owners, and aviation businesses protect their most prized possessions. From a weekend warrior’s beloved Piper Cherokee to a corporate fleet of Citation jets, you’ll learn the stories behind every aircraft and help safeguard the dreams they represent.
What You’ll Master:
- Navigate the fascinating world of aviation insurance (way cooler than car insurance!)
- Build relationships with pilots, mechanics, flight schools, and aircraft dealers
- Learn to speak “aviation” – from avionics to turboprops to experimental categories
- Grow rapidly from support specialist to licensed producer (we love promoting from within!)
- Work with specialized underwriters who insure everything from vintage warbirds to modern jets
Why Aviation Insurance Rocks
Forget boring property claims – you’ll deal with aircraft that have flown across continents, vintage planes with incredible histories, and cutting-edge experimental aircraft pushing the boundaries of flight. Every policy has a story, every client has aviation dreams, and every day brings unique challenges that keep the work engaging.
What We’re Looking For
The Perfect Wingman/Wingwoman:
- Genuine curiosity about aviation (we’ll teach you everything else!)
- Natural communicator who thrives on phone and email interaction
- Detail-oriented team player who takes pride in exceptional service
- Someone who wants to grow with a family business, not just punch a clock
- Ready to become part of something special in a niche most people never even know exists
The Family Business Advantage
Personal Growth: We invest in our people because they’re family. Professional development isn’t just encouraged – it’s part of our DNA.
Real Relationships: Work alongside three generations of aviation insurance expertise. Learn from people who’ve been insuring aircraft since before you were born.
Genuine Work-Life Balance: Flexible scheduling because family time matters. We understand life happens.
Your Success = Our Success: In a family business, when you win, we all win. Your growth directly impacts our future.
Ready for Takeoff?
Join us at one of the most unique locations in Portland, where the coffee is strong, the planes are beautiful, and every day feels like an adventure. This isn’t just a job – it’s your chance to become part of aviation history while building a rewarding career in an industry that literally reaches for the sky.
Benefits Package:
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- SEP-IRA with company matching
- Generous paid time off
- Professional development and licensing support
- Flexible scheduling
- The best office views in Portland (seriously, watch planes land while you work!)
Schedule: Full-time, day shift
Work Style: In-person (because the best parts happen when we’re together)
Ready to turn your career into an adventure? We can’t wait to meet our next family member!
