Risk Advisor

About this role

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:

What You’ll Do:

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

• Build and refine playbooks for your vertical to create repeatable, scalable best practices for future advisors.

• Collaborate closely with the Growth, Product, and Ops teams to ensure seamless execution and a differentiated client experience.

• Translate client needs into actionable insights for underwriting, operations, and product improvements.

• Track and report key client metrics to identify opportunities for expansion, efficiency, and impact.

• Contribute to the culture of excellence, curiosity, and accountability that defines our team.

Who You Are:

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

• Strong critical thinking skills, with experience evaluating complex coverage programs, synthesizing risk, coverage, and cost considerations, and translating analysis into actionable strategies.

• 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.
