About The Position

Abode Money is the first-ever AI financial home manager, using AI to save homeowners on property taxes, insurance, mortgage and more. Homeowners spend $2T+ per year on their home. Not only is it difficult to buy a home today, but it’s become just as challenging to continue owning your home. We’re going to be the first to create a relationship with 80M+ homeowners in the US by saving them money year after year. We’ve raised $23M from Permanent Capital, Drive Capital, Sequoia, Core VC and The 81 Collection.

Requirements

You are the operator people trust with the hard problems, and you've built something from nothing before.
You've run an insurance distribution operation.
You know how long licensing and appointments actually take, and you plan against reality.
You are genuinely excited about AI - you actively use AI tools and dig into new workflows.
7+ years in P&C insurance distribution, including time running an agency, a branch, a carrier direct-to-consumer channel, or an insurtech agency operation.
Active P&C producer license, with experience holding or supporting agency licensure across multiple states.
Direct experience with carrier appointments, aggregator or cluster relationships, and commission structures.
A track record managing licensed producers: hiring, ramping, and performance management.
Hands-on with an agency management system and comparative raters.
Fluent in the operating metrics: production, contact rate, close rate, retention, and servicing cost per policy.
A genuine enthusiasm for using and mastering modern AI tools and workflows.

Responsibilities

Own the Insurance P&L: Revenue, unit economics, and the path from today's run rate to a real book, with monthly production plans by state and channel.
Build and Lead the Team: Recruit, license, onboard, coach, and manage the licensed producers and service staff, along with the ramp plan, incentive design, and a weekly operating cadence.
Own Carrier and Partner Relationships: Negotiate affiliate terms in writing, select the aggregator, drive appointments to close, and build a routing plan for carriers who decline to transfer Agent of Record.
Clear the Licensing Path: Ten states with JLH Associates and the DRLP, plus producer licenses, appointments, continuing education, and E&O.
Stand Up Operations: Select the agency management system and comparative rater, design the servicing model, set response-time standards, and own retention and the renewal book.
Own Compliance: Set the posture on what Abode can say before appointments land, and own documentation standards and audit readiness.
Measure Everything: Define and report the numbers that matter: production, contact rate, lead-to-bound, retention, ARPU, and servicing cost per policy.
