  • 5+ years in the insurance industry (carrier, MGA, insurtech, distribution, or agency experience)
  • Experience in national accounts, key account management, or partnership management strongly preferred
  • Thrives in an early-stage, startup-paced environment — comfortable with shifting priorities and high output
  • Highly personable and confident on camera; comfortable leading Zoom meetings daily
  • Excellent communicator who enjoys relationship building, presenting, and driving conversations
  • Creative problem-solver who enjoys building processes and bringing new ideas forward
  • Tenacious, organized, and great at time management

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
