About The Position

The Problem 36 million businesses in America need insurance—it’s not optional. 77% are underinsured. 40% have no coverage at all. The distribution system failed them: too slow, too opaque, too confusing. Over 90% of commercial insurance is still human-led. We’re building the inverse: 90%+ AI-led, pushing toward the higher 90s. Not by patching legacy workflows—by building AI that makes humans more effective, improves the customer experience, and eliminates friction at every step. We’re adding ~1,000 customers per month. We’ve grown 100x since last year. We’re looking to do even more this year—and that’s why we’re hiring. Once a customer chooses Harper, you’re the reason they stay. The Thesis Getting a business insured is only the beginning. After that comes COIs, endorsements, billing questions, renewals, claims—the ongoing reality of being a policyholder. Most brokerages handle this with slow emails and voicemail tag. We handle it with AI and a small, sharp team that actually knows insurance. Every issue you resolve and every interaction you document teaches our AI what to handle next. You’re not just serving customers—you’re building the system that makes service scale without scaling headcount. The people who learn this operation inside out become the backbone of the company as we grow 20x, 50x, 100x. The Role You own post-sale customer service. Business owners call you about their certificates of insurance, policy changes, billing questions, renewal timelines, and claims. You resolve what you can, escalate what you can’t, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You’ll work alongside Sales, the CX team, and our AI systems daily. You need to know enough about commercial insurance to speak confidently with customers—and enough about our tools to move fast. Everything you do feeds back into the product. What You’ll Do Handle customer inquiries all day — COIs, endorsements, billing, renewals, claims coordination; back-to-back, with accuracy and speed Own resolution end-to-end — Don’t just take the message; follow up with carriers, track status, close the loop with the customer Know the product — Understand policy types, coverage basics, and carrier processes well enough to answer real questions confidently Feed the AI system — Your documentation, tagging, and pattern recognition become training data that makes the product smarter Flag what’s broken — Surface recurring issues, edge cases, and friction points so they get fixed upstream by Product and Engineering Keep customers loyal — Every interaction is a chance to reinforce that Harper is different; professional, fast, and actually helpful You Might Be a Fit If… You’ve worked in customer service, insurance operations, or a similar high-volume support role You can explain insurance concepts to a business owner without making their eyes glaze over You’re comfortable navigating multiple systems while on a call You take ownership of problems—you don’t pass them along and forget about them You’re detail-oriented and accurate even when you’re moving fast You’re excited about AI tools and want to work at a company building the future of the industry You want to grow into CX leadership, operations, or deeper insurance roles as the company scales.
