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

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
