Vouch is a next-generation insurance provider.
The Role

About Vouch:

At Vouch, we believe business insurance should move at the speed of innovation. Legacy insurance providers can’t keep up with the emerging risks of high-growth companies, leaving clients stuck with outdated, rigid coverage.

Vouch is a modern insurance provider dedicated to the innovation economy. Backed by $185M in funding from world-class investors, we’re reimagining business insurance—just as Stripe transformed payments and Brex reimagined credit cards.

Our platform replaces complex, legacy processes with a streamlined, tailored approach to risk management. Advanced technology simplifies every step, while expert advisors negotiate coverage as dynamic as the industries we serve. With Vouch, clients get the right coverage at the right price—and a team that scales with them.

  • Identify our client’s risk profile, advise them on appropriate risk management best practices as a licensed professional, and assist with the purchase of coverage

  • Plan and execute daily sales activities such as conducting Zoom calls with clients, responding to emails, and creating appropriate documentation in our CRM

  • Deliver consistent and timely responses, follow-through, and follow-up in response to client requests and issues

  • Maintain a healthy pipeline and conduct pipeline reviews with your manager

  • Ensure clients are comfortable with and able to utilize the tools/services available through the Vouch platform

About you:

  • Possesses competitive drive to outperform peers and continuously improve hard and soft skills

  • Dependable, positive, and detail-oriented with excellent follow-through skills

  • Exposure to and passion for early-stage startups and/or high growth environments

  • Experience working within a CRM and multiple communication tools (Salesforce, ZenDesk, etc.)

  • Prior experience in a quota-carrying role with responsibility for achieving individual quantitative  goals

 

Vouch provides a number of benefits to help you bring your best self to work:

  • Competitive compensation and equity packages

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Parental leave

  • Flexible vacation time (Unlimited PTO)

  • Wellness allowance ($80/month)
