About Us

Paradigm Insurance Agency is a locally owned, independent insurance agency serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout the Rochester, NY region. We provide customized insurance solutions designed to protect our clients' homes, vehicles, businesses, and assets while delivering the personalized service that only an independent agency can offer.

We're a stable, family-oriented agency with a strong reputation, established community relationships, and an ambitious vision for growth. Our mission is simple: help clients protect what matters most while building lasting relationships based on trust, expertise, and exceptional service.

The Opportunity

Paradigm Insurance Agency is seeking a licensed Insurance Agent to manage and grow both personal and commercial insurance business while helping drive the next phase of the agency's growth.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an insurance professional who understands the business, values relationships, and wants to be part of an organization that has already built the infrastructure necessary for success.

Unlike many agencies where producers are expected to generate business entirely on their own, Paradigm has invested heavily in creating strategic referral partnerships, operational systems, marketing initiatives, and support resources that consistently generate opportunities for growth.

Our agency maintains established relationships with real estate professionals, mortgage lenders, business owners, and community partners throughout the Rochester region. These partnerships create ongoing opportunities to assist homeowners, families, and business owners with their insurance needs while developing long-term client relationships.

The successful candidate will be someone who can cultivate and strengthen these relationships while developing new partnerships of their own. This role requires someone who enjoys working directly with clients and business professionals, understands the value of relationship-based selling, and can serve as a trusted advisor rather than simply a salesperson.

Most importantly, you will not be expected to build everything from scratch. Our operations, administrative support, systems, processes, and lead-generation efforts are already in place. You'll have the resources and support necessary to focus on what you do best: advising clients, building relationships, writing business, and growing your book.

We're looking for a professional who is motivated, competent, and ready to take advantage of the opportunities already being created within our organization.

For the right individual, this position offers significant opportunities for increased earnings, professional development, leadership responsibilities, and long-term career growth as the agency continues to expand.
