About the Company

Our client is a rapidly growing, well-funded startup in the commercial insurance space, partnered with one of the largest aid agencies in the country. The company offers access to hundreds of carriers, ensuring the best pricing for clients. This is a unique opportunity to join early and help build something big, with equity and options available for the right candidate.

About the Role

The Director of Operations will wear many hats—leading a small team, managing accounts, overseeing operational processes, and driving sales. The ideal candidate is not only experienced but also adaptable and growth oriented. You thrive in dynamic environments, are energized by building from the ground up, and possess the confidence to engage with CEOs while motivating a small, agile team.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage a small, diverse team in a fast-paced, startup environment.
  • Oversee sales strategies and actively participate in business development, including cold calling.
  • Develop and implement operational SOPs from scratch.
  • Manage recruiting efforts and streamline customer service and sales flows.
  • Collaborate with general partners and external stakeholders.
  • Cultivate relationships with CEOs and key decision-makers, demonstrating confidence and credibility.
  • Balance strategic planning with hands-on execution, stepping in wherever needed.

Qualifications

  • Experience : 5–7 years in the insurance industry (Commercial P&C preferred; Residential or Benefits also considered).
  • Startup Agility : Proven ability to thrive in dynamic, ambiguous environments where processes are built, not inherited.
  • Leadership : Hands-on leader with a track record of motivating and scaling small teams.
  • Sales Skills : Comfortable with cold calling, lead generation, and owning the sales cycle.
  • Growth Mindset : Driven by the opportunity to shape a company’s future and grow alongside it.
  • Cultural Fit : Confident communicator who can engage at the executive level while fostering a collaborative team culture.
  • Work Schedule & Environment

    Location : In-office, 5 days a week (Downtown Birmingham, MI)

    Hours : 8 AM – 5 PM (flexible for personal obligations)

    Culture : Emphasis on work-life balance, diversity, and professional growth. A startup atmosphere where every voice matters, and every role impacts the company’s direction

    Compensation & Benefits

    Salary : $80,000 – $130,000 (based on experience)

    Equity & Options : Available for the right candidate

    Benefits : Fully covered health benefits (Blue Cross), paid parking, unlimited PTO

    Why Join Us?

    Growth Opportunity : Be part of something big with substantial growth potential

    Equity Participation : Opportunity for ownership in a well-funded startup

    Remarkable Partnerships : Work closely with industry leaders, providing best-in-class carrier access

    Dynamic Impact : Shape operational strategies, build scalable processes, and contribute directly to company success

    Hiring Process

    Initial Interview : Virtual or in-person meeting with leadership

    Team Interview : Meet the broader leadership team and potential peers

    Offer Stage : Competitive offer extended to the top candidate
