In this Power Producers Shoptalk episode, David Carothers continues his series with the team from Insurance Futures, diving into the importance of job descriptions for building a strong culture in remote teams. As remote work becomes more common, having clear job descriptions helps set expectations, boost accountability, and ensure employees understand their roles.
David is joined by Jeremy Huerta, Michael Overstreet, and Caleb Walker from Heritage, an agency that has mastered the art of job descriptions. Together, they explore how detailed, concise job descriptions tied to core values and KPIs can lead to a more successful and productive remote team.
David starts by acknowledging that job descriptions are often overlooked, but in remote work environments, they’re essential for clarity. Without clear expectations, employees can feel lost or uncertain about their role.
The team stresses the importance of keeping job descriptions simple and straightforward. They emphasize that clear, concise language helps everyone understand exactly what’s expected, without unnecessary complexity.
Jeremy explains that job descriptions should align with the agency’s core values. It’s not just about duties—it’s about ensuring employees know how their role contributes to the larger mission and culture of the agency.

The team shares how transparent job descriptions help both the agency, and the employee assess if they’re a good fit. By outlining the role clearly from the start, both parties can avoid surprises and ensure alignment with the agency’s needs.
