BCBST is hiring an Insurance Sales Advisor
We’re looking for a customer-focused advisor, preferably located in the Memphis area, who can resolve member needs on the first contact, confidently guide consumers through plan decisions, and build trust in the community while also driving enrollment and sales across a portfolio of health and supplemental products.

In this role, you’ll deliver first-contact resolution for member service inquiries, including explaining benefits, researching and clarifying claims, supporting plan selection, helping members use tools and resources, and assisting with community resources.
