About The Role

At Trellis, we’re not your typical agency, we’re reimagining how insurance is bought and sold with a platform built on innovation, data, and automation. The Personal Lines Insurance Sales Team Lead is a goal-driven individual focused on driving revenue from prospects interested in various insurance products by leading a team of agents and supporting the day-to-day activity of a remote call center.

Reporting directly to the Director of Sales, this leader will accomplish this by improving agent performance through regular coaching and training, reviewing reports tracking team performance towards rigorous goals, and ensuring operational excellence in the maintenance and execution of daily call center activities. 

To be successful, this role will serve as one of the experts on agency decisions and develop their team to use best-in-class sales practices.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as an agency expert on P&C, ensuring that decisions are of high quality.

  • Proactively seek and suggest ways to improve internal processes and results program-wide, from selling techniques to closing customers.
  • Review reports that portray individual agent performance and sales results; analyzing data to evaluate your team and inform operational changes.
  • Regularly coach and mentor a growing team of agents to achieve quotas, while fostering a culture of accountability and results.
  • Monitor the day-to-day inquiry volume, agent schedule and adherence, while proactively adjusting and flexing to support demand.

What You Bring to the Table 

  • You have 3+ years of experience in a similar role.
  • You're an insurance expert with the ability to guide and evaluate P&C decisions.
  • You're a creative problem-solver who’s excited to contribute to the strategic direction and dive in wherever necessary to achieve goals.
  • You have an analytical mindset with the ability to identify data requirements, analyze data, and review reports.
  • You're highly performance-oriented and able to motivate others in a proactive, positive, and firm manner.
  • You have a strong sense of empathy for agents and customers.
  • *Bonus Points* experience with early-stage or high-growth tech startups

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
