Insurance Licensing Specialist
Introduction:
The Zebra, named a Best Place to Work in Austin four years running, is revolutionizing how connected consumers research and shop for insurance. We intentionally strive to build diverse teams that feel inclusive for all. Our motto is 'All Stripes Welcome,' and we put that into practice by valuing both traditional and non-conventional backgrounds and perspectives. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems.
As the Insurance Licensing Specialist on the Compliance team, your highly organized & hyper-detail-oriented way of doing things (paired with your critical ability to work with confidential employee details) clears the way for successful employee onboarding, reporting, licensing and overall experience. Reporting to our Director of Compliance, you’ll be a key part of the Compliance team and will help deliver an amazing employee experience to fellow Zebras.
This role will be a 6-month contract to start. We are looking for this person to work 40 hours per week and the target hourly rate is $35.00-$45.00/hr depending on experience
Location:
While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve recently shifted from an in-office organization to a hybrid model and love the flexibility it allows our employees. We are set up to support employees who want to be fully remote, in-office only, and a mix of the two. Please note - we will not be supporting work based out of the following states: CA, MA, NY, NJ.
What You'll Do:
Own and execute all logistics around internal agent licensing, including:
Applying for agent licenses during new hire onboarding
Adding new states (when applicable) to our licensing process & procedures
Maintaining licensing for all internal agents (ensuring they are active & renewed without lapse)
Apply for new agency and agent appointments where applicable
Schedule pre-licensing courses and exams
Schedule continuing ed courses for internal agents, as needed
Regular reporting to stakeholders on licensing statuses
Observe and identify opportunities for improvements & make constructive suggestions for change
Communicate with Agency Operations to provide updates and maintain appropriate workflows
What We're Looking For:
As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks with a strong sense of ownership, phenomenal communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.
2-4 years of experience in licensing
Strength in record keeping, organizational finesse, and keen attention to detail
Experience with tools like Sircon, National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) and State Based Systems (SBS)
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills (high EQ) with an ability to take initiative and quickly become a trusted partner
Servant-leadership attitude with a high level of professionalism, tact, and discretion
An ability to listen and understand the needs of others
A desire to protect our company values and see them reflected in every decision and practice
About The Zebra:
The Zebra is the nation’s leading, independent insurance comparison site. With our dynamic, real-time quote comparison tool, consumers can identify insurance companies with the coverage, service level, and pricing to suit their unique needs. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, The Zebra has sought to bring transparency and simplicity to insurance shopping since 2012 -- it's “insurance in black and white.”
We've garnered attention and investment of some of the nation’s top venture capitalists. Check out all of our awards & recognition!
