Our mission: make shopping for home and auto insurance faster, smarter, and easier for everyday Americans. Powered by ML and GenAI, we help people find better insurance — saving them time, money, and stress.

We’re fully remote, built for speed, and led by a third-time fintech founder with a track record of building public companies.

If you move fast, take ownership, and care about your craft, you’ll thrive here.

As a top-performing agent, you will enjoy a competitive, uncapped compensation package. Top quartile performers easily earn in excess of $100k/year and the very best agents can earn in excess of $160k. 

  • Earn $ per sale for every sale above our floor (Auto, HOI, renters, flood, etc.)
  • Bonus accelerators for high close rate, high premium sales, agent of record changes, and more!
  • Monthly sales contests and Presidents/VP Clubs to put even more $ in your pocket
  • Bonuses available for putting in extra hours, identifying bugs, and more

  • New hires receive $500 in their first check, and $2000 after their 3rd month of employment
*Sign-on bonus eligibility varies based on active Property & Casualty or Personal Lines licenses at time of hire

In this role, expect to 

  • Sell, sell, sell!.. by delivering best-in-class results consistently
    • Bind at least 60 new policies per month
  • Navigate dozens of insurers' products and agent portals to find the best insurance options
  • Own your leads from start to finish across multiple contact channels (Phones, SMS, email)
  • Utilize agency tooling and technology designed to make you more efficient and effective

To succeed in this role, you have

  • Proven track record: you have demonstrated success in achieving and surpassing sales targets in previous roles
  • Relentless ambition: you see the upside of working hard and seek an environment that generously rewards agents who over-deliver
  • Deep multi-carrier experience: you can quickly identify the right product from the right carrier for the right customer
  • Proactive and self-motivated: You take initiative and are self-motivated to identify opportunities and develop strategies to drive sales and surpass targets.
  • Strong written and verbal communication: you close sales quickly and effectively across multiple channels (primarily text and phone)
  • Hyper-comfort with ambiguity: we are still a start-up, meaning we roll out process and system updates frequently; you thrive on quickly adapting and applying changes to turbo-charge your sales goals
Schedule Details: Our agency operates from 8 AM to 9 PM ET, seven days a week.
  • Agents are required to work one weekend day per week and will receive two days off to recharge.
  • During your interview, we'll collaborate to find a shift that works well for both you and our customers.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

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.
