Business Development Representative

About WithCoverage:
WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.
We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.
Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.
WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners.
Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.
Why Join Us:
- Grow Faster – We’re scaling quickly, giving you significant opportunities to learn, lead, and shape your career and the company's future.
- Work That Matters – We protect the world’s most innovative brands: consumer icons, hospitality leaders, next-gen defense contractors, and US manufacturers.
- Redefine an Industry – Insurance is one of the largest, slowest-moving markets. We rewrite the playbook with proprietary technology, automation, and AI.
- Financial Rewards – We hire the best and invest in you. That means competitive comp, meaningful equity, and excellent benefits. We believe strongly in internal promotion and lay out a plan for everyone's career growth.

This is a high-output, high-impact role where success is measured by conversations started and meetings set. You’ll be equipped with a strong list of pre-qualified leads and supported by a collaborative growth team that’s focused on results. High performers in this role will have the opportunity to advance into closing or managerial positions over time. Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm EST (weekends off).
What You’ll Do:
- Make high-volume cold calls daily to pre-qualified prospects to schedule intro calls with potential clients.
- Own the outreach process end-to-end, including script execution, objection handling, and call coordination with the Growth team.
- Use quick, live research to find meaningful angles that connect with each prospect during calls.
- Collaborate with team members to refine messaging, targeting strategies, and outreach best practices.
- Participate in weekly reviews to track progress against meeting goals and improve performance.
Who You Are:
- Confident, clear phone communicator: you enjoy being on the phone and know how to keep people engaged.
- Prior experience in cold calling, outbound sales, or appointment setting is highly preferred.
- High energy, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
