Head of Insurance Carrier Strategy - California - COVU
Description
Location: Los Angeles preferred
Reports to: COO
Department: Carrier Relations
Comp: $240k - $300k + Equity based on seniority and location
About COVU
COVU is building the AI-native infrastructure layer for the insurance industry. We are transforming independent agencies into modern customer and risk advisors—powered by automation, data, and a unified platform. With a $7T global market undergoing disruption, COVU is poised to become the essential operating system for the future of insurance distribution and management.
The Role
We're hiring a Head of Carrier Strategy & Network Partnerships to lead and scale one of the most critical areas of the business: our carrier relationships and the launch of the COVU Network.
This is a highly executional role. You'll start by consolidating carrier appointments across our acquired agencies, negotiate improved terms and access, and build the operational layer that enables agencies in our network to scale under one roof.
You'll be the quarterback for everything carrier-facing—partner success, onboarding flows, economics, and integration. As the network scales, you'll help lay the groundwork for a high-leverage growth ecosystem that unlocks distribution, cross-sell, and platform dominance.
What You'll Do
1. Carrier Relationship Management & Execution
2. Network Enablement Infrastructure
3. Cross-Functional Execution
4. Prepare for Value Chain Expansion
What We're Looking For
Bonus Points
Why This Role Matters
This role is mission-critical to COVU's next phase of growth. Carrier consolidation and network scaling will drive both our margin expansion and our platform flywheel. You'll sit at the intersection of strategy and operations—and help define what the future of intelligent distribution looks like.
