About the Role 
As an Account Manager, you'll be the primary contact for our small business clients—owning relationships, driving outcomes, and solving challenges with precision.

  • Anticipate client needs and build scalable, lasting solutions (Lead for the Long Haul)  
  • Communicate clearly, cut the fluff, and focus on what matters (Simplicity Scales)

What We’re Looking For 
  • A+ players who think strategically while flexing their tactical muscles
  • 5+ years of experience with employee benefits, via insurance brokerage, insurtech, PEO or third party administration
  • Strong problem-solving skills and comfort using AI tools to streamline work 
  • Exceptional communication skills with a client-first mindset
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and deliver on time
  • Active life and health insurance license
  • Bilingual in English/Spanish is a huge plus

This is a remote position but preferred candidates will be based in San Francisco or the surrounding area and bring recent experience supporting California-based small (under 100 EE's) employer groups.

Why Join Us
  • Be part of a fast-growing, values-driven team
  • Work remotely in a supportive environment
  • Use cutting-edge technology to drive impact
  • Competitive pay starting at $85,000/year and industry-leading benefits

Benefits

  • Financial: Competitive pay starting at $85K, stock options, 401(k) with employer matching and live financial advisor support, FSA, HSA tax-saving options, company-paid life and disability.
  • Health & Wellness: Medical insurance, Dental, Vision, $0 Telehealth, enhanced Employee Assistance Program (EAP), company-paid accident and critical illness for individuals, company contribution to your Health FSA.
  • Work-Life: Flexible PTO, paid parental leave, home office stipend, monthly connectivity reimbursement, company contribution to your Dependent Care FSA to help with day care.

Candidates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. We value inclusivity and diversity because they strengthen our "Human First" approach and enhance our ability to deliver exceptional benefits service.
