  • 3–5 years of workers compensation or property and casualty insurance experience required.
  • Valid driver’s license required.
  • Insurance designations such as RWCS, AINS, AU, or CPCU are highly encouraged.

At MEM Insurance, we’re more than a workers compensation carrier—we’re a team of people who care deeply about protecting businesses and empowering employees. We live our values every day by fostering a culture of integrity, service, and innovation. We believe in investing in our people, encouraging professional development, and celebrating success together. Join a company where your voice matters and your work makes a difference.
