• Maintaining accurate documentation in Salesforce

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has solid insurance servicing experience
• Works well within defined processes

You won’t be managing a book of business or responsible for sales quotas — this is a service-focused role where execution, consistency, and professionalism matter.

• Maintain strong documentation and data accuracy within Salesforce
• Identify inefficiencies and suggest process improvements
• Operate with accountability and autonomy in a fully remote environment

  2+ years in a customer-facing service role
• Active Property & Casualty insurance license (required before starting — non-negotiable

You'll Stand Out If You Have

• Experience servicing HO3, DP3, or landlord policies
• Experience working in an MGA, agency, or carrier environment
• Strong understanding of endorsements and coverage structure
• Spanish fluency (preferred but not required)

What Makes You Successful Here

• You can prioritize and manage multiple service requests without losing accuracy
• You understand that details matter — especially in property insurance
• You’re comfortable making decisions without constant direction
• You communicate clearly and professionally — even in challenging conversations
• You’re tech-savvy (Salesforce experience is a plus)
• You enjoy improving processes instead of just following them

Why Insurance Professionals Choose Obie

• Fully remote work environment
• Opportunity to influence process improvements
• Exposure to a fast-growing insurtech environment
• Work with experienced insurance leaders who understand the industry

We are scaling quickly and looking to add multiple experienced professionals to the team.
