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.

- Apply industry expertise to deliver accurate, high-quality outcomes (Mastery & Rigor)
- 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
