COMPANY INTRO

ARU, founded in 2016, has quickly risen to become the U.S. leader in specialty property insurance underwriting, product development, loss control, and technology.

OFFICE MANAGER / BOOKKEEPER POSITION INTRO

ARU is currently seeking a hyper-organized, numbers-savvy individual to support the company CEO, own the heartbeat of our Chapel Hill office, and help manage certain subsidiary financial operations. This is an in-person role designed for an exceptionally smart, thorough, and curious rising professional who wants to learn fast, shoulder real responsibility, and grow his / her career.

If you love order, details, clean reconciliations, crisp writing, and making a team faster and better—read on.

A few words from ARU's Co-founder Will Johnson :

"I started ARU in 2016 at ground zero, with zero customers, zero revenue, and one big foundational idea :   other market participants were operating fundamentally flawed models that were not sustainable . I strongly believed ARU could deliver substantial value by making a clean break from the legacy underwriting methods and by building a completely new and innovative approach. But - I must say, believing  it and executing  it were two very different things, ha!

While it certainly has not been easy, amazing work by the ARU team has generated superlative growth and profitability results, and it continues to be incredibly fulfilling to see ARU's original mission be realized.

I am now seeking the next great addition to our team, a highly-organized individual who will support me at the company HQ, do the best work of his / her career, and help me do the best work of my  career!

WHAT WE’RE OFFERING TO YOU :

• You will have a position in a fast-growing, modern, technology-based company, where your contribution will be critical to the company’s success, and where your performance will earn your opportunities for recognition and promotion.
• You will receive a competitive compensation package, with base annual salary, annual bonus, and company-provided benefits.  You will have 100% employer-paid health insurance, paid time off, and a 100% vested retirement plan with company match.

PRIMARY DUTIES :

Be the face and backbone of the office : reception, guest experience, meeting prep, mail / shipping, supplies, and vendor coordination.

AP / AR administration : vendor onboarding (W-9s / COIs), purchase orders, invoices, approvals, payment runs, and customer invoicing.

E-mail and Task Management : perform as Will J.'s e-mail surrogate and directly manage the CEO's e-mail inbox, related tasks, and all day to day e-mail correspondence.

Partner on onboarding / offboarding checklists (equipment, accounts, handbook acknowledgments).

WHAT WE MINIMALLY REQUIRE - YOUR EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND SKILLSET :

REQUIRED LOCATION :   80% IN-PERSON / 20% REMOTE

ABOUT ARU’S CULTURE :

We demand excellence from ourselves and those around us; we work accurately and thoroughly, but also with a great sense of urgency; we are excellent critical thinkers and creative problem solvers; we contribute cheerfully to ARU’s environment of collaborative brainstorming and respectful debate; we love to explore and experiment, and we are comfortable occasionally blazing a trail that ends up actually being a “bridge to nowhere” just as long as we fail fast, pivot appropriately, and become tougher and smarter as a result; we love to learn, read, and grow as human beings; we believe in science-based truths, and we know there is no such thing as an alternative fact.

MORE ABOUT ARU :

ARU was founded with a goal to use expertise, engineering, and technology to disrupt the legacy marketplace. Our core mission is to deliver a superior experience to our policyholders, while also maintaining sustainability and consistency writing historically-challenging classes of business. To do so, we build and deploy 100% proprietary insurance products, we invest heavily in property loss prevention engineering and research, and we develop home-grown software and other technology. We also focus on collaborative broker and policyholder relationships, which allow us to deliver shared victories for all stakeholders.  ARU is part of the Accelerant Insurance family :   https : / / accelins.com /
