There are over 50 million youth athletes playing sports in the U.S., and they are counting on us to ensure that the environment that they are coming into not only accepts them for who they are, but fills them with encouragement, love, and inspiration.    We're a sports insurance and athlete safety platform, combining insurance expertise with technology to help organizations protect the athletes, coaches, and communities they serve. We're a fully remote, US-based team, backed by PE-investors, and growing quickly as we build the infrastructure this space has never had. Our Core ValuesWe cannot achieve our mission without having a strong culture. We believe that at the core of a strong culture is a shared set of values. The values that we hold true and look for our employees to embrace are as follows: Lead with Mission: Our mission always comes first. If we stay on mission as an organization, then we believe we will be successful in our professional and personal lives. Go Beyond: We're not satisfied with just “good enough” – we go above and beyond to achieve awesome results that impress and inspire. Operate like Owners: We believe in operational excellence. We take ownership of our work and approach every task with a sense of pride, responsibility, and commitment to excellence. We don't just rent our roles – we own them and strive to make a lasting impact. Virtue First: From the big decisions to the small details; honesty, integrity, and transparency are the bedrock of our culture and the foundation for everything we do. Service: We live to serve others with humility, empathy, and kindness. We put our customers, colleagues and community first, and always strive to exceed their expectations with a smile.

In addition to producing new business, you'll help test, validate, and shape the platform, having real influence in the underwriting platform we’re building.
