Ready for a Career Shift?

MCL Talent Partners is searching for a dependable, hard-working professional in the West Des Moines area who is ready to leave behind physical wear-and-tear, exhausting shift work, or dead-end retail jobs.

If you're looking for a clean transition into a professional setting with a dependable Monday–Friday daytime routine, this is for you. You don't need any prior "corporate" or office experience. We partner with a firm that believes strictly in promoting from within. They never hire outside managers to run teams they've never been a part of. Instead, every single leader starts in this exact role: learning the business from the ground up with the help of a dedicated mentor.

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like

You will be fully supported from your very first day by a one-on-one coach who will teach you every part of the role. Once trained, you will:

• Connect Locally: Head out into the field to meet face-to-face with business owners and professionals.

• Educate Help: Deliver simple, straightforward presentations to help businesses understand the supplemental insurance programs available to their employees.

• Build Relationships: Act as a friendly, reliable point of contact to support your clients over the long term.

• Run Your Day: Take ownership of your own schedule, appointments, and follow-ups.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need a traditional office resume to thrive here. In fact, people with experience as shift supervisors, warehouse leads, crew foremen, restaurant captains, or assistant managers often do incredibly well! We are looking for:

• A Strong Work Ethic: You genuinely want to learn a new professional skill set and aren't afraid of hard work.

• Great People Skills: You are honest, communicate clearly, and feel comfortable talking to new people.

• A Coachable Mindset: You are eager to take a proven playbook, listen to feedback, and put it into action.

• An Entrepreneurial Spirit: You are comfortable working as a 1099 independent contractor and building your income within a 100% performance-based commission structure.

• The Essentials: You have a valid driver's license and a reliable personal vehicle.

• Licensing: You are willing to complete the standard state professional licensing process (don't worry, we provide plenty of assistance and support!).

Why This is a Great Move

• Get Your Life Back: Enjoy a structured Monday–Friday daytime schedule. No more required nights, weekends, or unpredictable shifts.

• Zero Office Politics: Advancement here is based on objective milestones. Your timeline for moving into team leadership is dictated entirely by your work ethic and results—not favoritism.

• Side-by-Side Coaching: You'll never be left to figure it out on your own. You'll be paired with an experienced leader who will train you out in the field.
