Job Description - you should already have received this as part of the interview process and many of the items suggested below should be included in the job description.
Targets - new business revenue (as part of pitch team or direct new business leads), revenue managed, profit margins etc.
Performance/Bonus Objectives - what targets do you need to achieve to earn bonus
Team - direct reports
Org Chart of Agency - where is your role on the chart?
Member of any leadership teams or committees? If so, what is role of such committee (including decision making authority)
Review benefits in detail - usually exceptions cannot be made. But if benefits are less than your current role, you could try to negotiate sign on bonus to keep you whole

You need to meet each and every member of the leadership team if you get bad vibes or idiocy off more than 50% - don’t do it. You need to understand their decision making process (best asked of top dog) and how they resolve conflict among members. Is there a n executive coach for the Team not just the individuals on the team.
