This is a unique opportunity to join early and help build something big, with equity and options available for the right candidate.

About the Role

The Director of Operations will wear many hats—leading a small team, managing accounts, overseeing operational processes, and driving sales.

  • Manage recruiting efforts and streamline customer service and sales flows.
  • Collaborate with general partners and external stakeholders.
  • Cultivate relationships with CEOs and key decision-makers, demonstrating confidence and credibility.
  • Balance strategic planning with hands-on execution, stepping in wherever needed.

Qualifications

  • Experience : 5–7 years in the insurance industry (Commercial P&C preferred; Residential or Benefits also considered).
  • Startup Agility : Proven ability to thrive in dynamic, ambiguous environments where processes are built, not inherited.
  • Leadership : Hands-on leader with a track record of motivating and scaling small teams.
  • Sales Skills : Comfortable with cold calling, lead generation, and owning the sales cycle.
  • Growth Mindset : Driven by the opportunity to shape a company’s future and grow alongside it.
  • Cultural Fit : Confident communicator who can engage at the executive level while fostering a collaborative team culture.

    Hours : 8 AM – 5 PM (flexible for personal obligations)

    Culture : Emphasis on work-life balance, diversity, and professional growth. A startup atmosphere where every voice matters, and every role impacts the company’s direction

    Salary : $80,000 – $130,000 (based on experience)

    Equity & Options : Available for the right candidate

    Benefits : Fully covered health benefits (Blue Cross), paid parking, unlimited PTO

    Why Join Us?

    Growth Opportunity : Be part of something big with substantial growth potential

    Equity Participation : Opportunity for ownership in a well-funded startup

    Remarkable Partnerships : Work closely with industry leaders, providing best-in-class carrier access
