Account Manager- Restaurant Practice

Convelo Insurance Group•Atlanta, GA

1d•Remote

About The Position

Convelo is launching a new Restaurant Program, built to serve high-quality restaurant and hospitality risks through a dedicated specialty underwriting model. Unlike a traditional agency role centered on prospecting, this opportunity begins with a built-in distribution channel designed to deliver a curated pipeline of pre-qualified restaurant accounts. To support this model, Convelo is building an internal agency function from the ground up — a team that will act as the bridge between Restaurant Program underwriters and restaurant operators entering the platform. As Account Manager, Restaurant Practice, you will be one of the first hires into this structure and will help shape how the agency operates, communicates, services accounts, and scales. This is a founding role with immediate impact: building onboarding workflows, managing new account flow, supporting clients through their first policy year, and helping establish the service foundation for a growing national restaurant insurance platform.
