At the Jump District of Northwestern Mutual, we are thrilled to announce the growth of our local District Office!

We have current openings for entry-level applicants, as well as experienced insurance/financial services leaders. We are looking for a few key individuals to join us during this exciting growth phase.

Since our founding just five years ago, we’ve grown from a single full-time advisor to a thriving team of 6 full-time advisors, 6 additional team members, and a dynamic group of College Financial Representatives each year. Our growth reflects our commitment to fostering an environment of continuous improvement, collaboration, and success.

As a valued member of our team, you’ll benefit from expert mentoring, advanced training, and cutting-edge technology—all backed by Northwestern Mutual, a Fortune 500-ranked company with an Aaa rating from Moody's and a leadership position in total dividend payouts, totaling billions annually.

Joining Jump District means becoming part of a purpose-driven, growth-oriented team, where you’ll feel valued and empowered to pursue both personal and professional goals. Our commitment to making a difference extends beyond finance; we are proud to maintain a strategic community partnership with Millikin University, where we sponsor and participate in events such as Millikin Athletics Golf Outings, Youth Basketball Camps, semi-annual Dress for Success events, Career Fairs, and educational talks with nursing students, the Tabor School of Business, and various sports teams.

Additionally, we host an annual charity day where our entire office volunteers at the Special Olympics track meet held at Illinois State University in Bloomington—a day of teamwork and service we are proud to support.

With a proven path to financial independence, including the potential to earn $150,000+ in your first year, you’ll have the tools, freedom, and support to make a profound impact on your clients and your career.

Our thriving office is located at: 240 S. Main St., Decatur, IL 62523
