  • Working with the rest of the Coalition team to implement organizational and product changes that mitigate customer pain points.
Skills and Qualifications

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, especially in broker-facing roles or similar (e.g., channel sales).

  • Experience with Zendesk is not required but is a plus.
  • Prior insurance experience is not required but is a plus.
  • An incredibly positive attitude—attitude overcomes all.
