Trellis

Employee count: 51-200

Salary: 40k-160k USD

United States only

Trellis is a profitable, fast-growing Series A startup backed by top investors like General Catalyst, QED, NYCA, and Amex Ventures.

Our mission: make shopping for home and auto insurance faster, smarter, and easier for everyday Americans. Powered by ML and GenAI, we help people find better insurance — saving them time, money, and stress.

We’re fully remote, built for speed, and led by a third-time fintech founder with a track record of building public companies.

If you move fast, take ownership, and care about your craft, you’ll thrive here.

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. As a Personal Lines Insurance Sales Agent, you’ll play a key role on a high-performing team, helping customers across the country find personalized coverage through a wide network of over 80 insurance carriers.

This isn’t just a sales role, it’s your opportunity to thrive in a fast-moving, fully remote environment where cutting-edge technology meets real human impact. We celebrate performance, reward initiative, and create clear pathways for growth.

This is a remote position open to candidates in most U.S. states (with the exception of California).

We believe in paying competitively for great work. As a remote team, we set our salaries at the 75th percentile of national market data in our industry. You can count on your pay being in line with (or above) the market. For this role, agents start at a $40,000 base salary, with an On Target commission variable of $30,000 (uncapped). We review compensation twice a year to make sure we’re staying competitive and rewarding our team’s contributions.

Uncapped Earning Potential

The formula is simple: more sales = more income.

  • Base salary plus generous commissions for every sale above your monthly floor

  • Exciting bonuses including contests, high-premium incentives, and elite sales clubs

  • Top performers consistently earn $100K+ - some break $160K

  • $2,500 sign-on bonus:

    • $500 with your first paycheck
    • $2,000 after 90 days

    Sign-on bonus eligibility varies based on active Property Casualty or Personal Lines licenses at time of hire.

What You’ll Do

  • Sell a broad range of personal lines insurance products including Auto, Homeowners, Renters, Flood, and more - meeting real customer needs every day
  • Own the full sales cycle across phone, text, and email - connecting with customers on their preferred channel to create a seamless, personalized experience
  • Access 80+ insurance carriers to find the best-fit policies for each customer - no one-size-fits-all options here
  • Leverage AI-powered tools and tech - streamline your workflow to maximize your impact and boost your earnings
  • Close 60+ policies/ month with warm, inbound leads - no cold calling, just real conversations with real customers

What You Bring to the Table

  • 10+ Active Property Casualty or Personal Lines state licenses
  • 2+ years of Personal Lines Insurance Sales experience
  • Experience in a contact center environment that offers multiple carriers
  • Proven track record of hitting or exceeding quotas in a high volume, fast-paced environment
  • Excellent communication skills - phone and written
  • Tech-savvy, motivated, and always ready to adapt

Our agency operates daily from 9 AM to 9 PM ET. For this role, you’ll work four 10-hour shifts each week, including at least one weekend day, and enjoy three days off to rest and recharge. During the interview, we’ll partner with you to build a schedule that fits your life and delivers a great experience for our customers.

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

Note: all employees must complete a background check prior to starting employment with Trellis or its subsidiaries.

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.
