About COVU

COVU is building the future of insurance by combining advanced technology with a human-centered approach. Our goal is to make insurance smarter, simpler, and more aligned with how people actually live and work.

We partner with independent insurance agencies across the country to help them grow, operate more efficiently, and deliver exceptional experiences to their clients.

COVU is a fast-growing company with a bold vision. We are looking for dynamic individuals who want to grow with us and help reshape an industry.

Role Overview

The Partnership Associate will be a key part of our growth team. This role involves creating strong first impressions, starting meaningful conversations with agency owners, and building momentum in the sales pipeline.

This is not a cold, transactional sales job. It is about building trust, sharing a clear and compelling story, and opening doors for long-term partnerships.

We do not require a background in insurance. We are looking for someone with presence, professionalism, and the ability to connect with people. We will provide training and support.

• Confidence in virtual meetings and in-person interactions
  
  


• Based in Los Angeles or willing to spend time there as needed
