Customer Service Professional – Personal Lines (Insurance)

Persona is a recruiting and staffing company that hires exceptional people from 98 countries into full-time, long-term remote roles with the most ambitious companies on earth.

Our clients include Fortune 500 enterprises, fast-growing startups backed by Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, and high-performing companies of every size in between. We offer roles in project management, operations, finance, design, marketing, customer success, and more. Every hire is for a specific open position: one person, one dedicated client, built to last.

Every offer we make is for an open role with a single client — the kind of role that's almost impossible to find on your own: industry-leading pay set against your experience and skill, real career growth, and a stable seat at a serious company, working from home, anywhere in the world.

Persona was founded in 2018 by two Stanford graduates on a simple idea: talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't. By recruiting globally for specific client roles, we've grown into one of the fastest-growing companies in the global staffing industry. Every applicant goes through the same steps, and each one is designed to let you show what you can actually do.

We hire people who care about the craft of their work, take ownership without being asked, and want to build a career rather than just hold a job. If that's you, and one of our open roles fits, we'd like to meet you.

Role Summary

We are hiring a Customer Service Professional to support the Personal Lines book of business at an independent U.S. insurance agency. Renewals of existing policies are the lifeblood of an insurance agency, and this role focuses primarily on serving existing customers — managing inquiries, supporting renewals, maintaining accurate records, and helping retain and grow each policyholder relationship. This role is purpose-built for someone who knows the rhythms of an agency, understands personal lines coverage (auto, home, renters, umbrella, and related products), and can confidently navigate carrier portals and agency management systems. Ideal candidates take personal ownership of every customer interaction and treat retention and renewal work as a craft.

Required Qualifications

• Ability to embrace change and work in a fast-paced environment

• Fully fluent in English
