At American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company®, we believe trust is earned through relationships, not transactions. That belief shapes everything we do, from helping individuals protect their retirement income to helping our team members develop meaningful careers. 

It’s also why, for the third consecutive year, we’ve been named one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies by Newsweek, and once again recognized as a Top Workplace in Iowa.^1,2 We value these distinctions not for the recognition, but because they show how living our values builds trust. 

The power of an EPIC culture 

Our values—Empowered. Passionate. Integrity. Caring.—guide every decision, every relationship, and every guarantee we keep. 

The culture at American Equity is grounded in collaboration and meaningful connection. When our team members work together and build genuine relationships, they don’t just make a difference within our organization, they help shape people’s financial future across the country.  

It’s the heart of what we do. It’s where people don’t just come to work, they come to make a difference. 

Doing what’s right, inside and out  

Trust doesn’t end at the office door. It shows up in how we give back. 

Each year, our team members roll up their sleeves and dig into projects, charity events, and local causes close to their hearts. Through our annual EPIC Giving! Charity Event, we recently donated more than $100,000 to ten nonprofits selected by our employees—proof that when you empower people to care, good things follow. 

Let’s build a future together  

We know that a company’s greatest asset is its people. That’s why we go beyond traditional benefits to support wellness, financial security, and professional growth. All the while, we are committed to building an environment with the kind of collaboration that makes coming to work feel worthwhile.

If you’re looking for a place where relationships matter as much as results, where trust isn’t just talked about but lived, we’d like to meet you.
