About The Role

At Trellis, we’re not your typical agency, we’re reimagining how insurance is bought and sold with a platform built on innovation, data, and automation. The Personal Lines Insurance Sales Team Lead is a goal-driven individual focused on driving revenue from prospects interested in various insurance products by leading a team of agents and supporting the day-to-day activity of a remote call center.

Reporting directly to the Director of Sales, this leader will accomplish this by improving agent performance through regular coaching and training, reviewing reports tracking team performance towards rigorous goals, and ensuring operational excellence in the maintenance and execution of daily call center activities.

To be successful, this role will serve as one of the experts on agency decisions and develop their team to use best-in-class sales practices.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as an agency expert on PC, ensuring that decisions are of high quality.

  • Proactively seek and suggest ways to improve internal processes and results program-wide, from selling techniques to closing customers.
  • Review reports that portray individual agent performance and sales results; analyzing data to evaluate your team and inform operational changes.
  • Regularly coach and mentor a growing team of agents to achieve quotas, while fostering a culture of accountability and results.
  • Monitor the day-to-day inquiry volume, agent schedule and adherence, while proactively adjusting and flexing to support demand.

What You Bring to the Table

  • You have 3+ years of experience in a similar role.
  • You're an insurance expert with the ability to guide and evaluate PC decisions.
  • You're a creative problem-solver who’s excited to contribute to the strategic direction and dive in wherever necessary to achieve goals.
  • You have an analytical mindset with the ability to identify data requirements, analyze data, and review reports.
  • You're highly performance-oriented and able to motivate others in a proactive, positive, and firm manner.
  • You have a strong sense of empathy for agents and customers.
  • *Bonus Points* experience with early-stage or high-growth tech startups

Our agency operates 7 days a week, from 8 AM to 9 PM ET. To best serve our customers, team members work one weekend day per week and enjoy two days off to rest and recharge. We’ll work together during the interview process to find a schedule that aligns with your needs and our customers’ experience.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

View company profile

We’re an insurtech start-up. Our mission is to build industry-leading solutions that make insurance easy for everyone, from consumers to partners to insurers.

We’re fast-growing. Our partners include 4 of the top 5 digital banks and 7 of the top 50 personal finance apps in both app stores. We have backing from multiple top venture capital investors, including QED (Credit Karma, SoFi), General Catalyst (Airbnb, Stripe), Nyca (Acorns, Revolut), as well as Amex Ventures.

We’re fully remote. We believe it allows us to find the best talent wherever it is, provide our team with maximum flexibility, and stand out to candidates.

Our embedded insurance API's and technology bring the market's leading insurance products (e.g. Progressive, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and hundreds of others) into the apps and ecosystems where customers already manage their finances.

Our proprietary software allows consumers to digitally share their existing insurance information in order to instantly review a side-by-side comparison of prospective quotes against their existing rate and coverage.

Our team of dedicated, nationally-licensed agents provide sales and service over phone, email, and SMS – enabling a truly omnichannel experience that closes the gap between online and offline.

Our Values

  1. Extreme Ownership – We fulfill our promises to each other and to our customers. We own our responsibilities 110%.

  2. Speed – We work quickly and pragmatically.

  3. Collaboration – We work transparently, solicit feedback, and leave our egos at the door.

  4. Craft – We do a great job for the sake of it. We’re constantly learning and working at bettering ourselves and the way that we work.

  5. Positivity – We focus on the potential in the world and in each other. We rise to challenges rather than complain about them. We see a cup half full instead of half empty.
