Lead Risk Advisor

Location: New York, NY, or Philadelphia, PA

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.

About The Role:

We’re looking for a Lead Risk Advisor to own client relationships end-to-end and help scale a risk vertical. You’ll work directly with business leaders to assess exposures, lead Risk Analyses, and deliver tailored solutions that drive measurable impact.

What You’ll Do:

- Own and manage a portfolio of client accounts end-to-end, driving strong relationships and delivering exceptional service.

- Lead client-facing Risk Analyses with senior executives, diagnosing coverage gaps and presenting tailored insurance solutions.

- Confident leading high-stakes client conversations and comfortable presenting analyses or proposals.

- Deeply curious about how businesses operate and motivated to become a trusted advisor to their leaders.

- Strong communicator who thrives in fast-moving, collaborative environments.

- Highly detail-oriented and accountable — you own outcomes, not just tasks.

- Coachable and eager to learn; open to feedback and committed to growth.

- Drawn to environments where performance is rewarded with real upside and autonomy.

- Hardworking, kind, and humble — the type of teammate others want to work with.
