The opportunity

We're looking for a Licensed Customer Service Manager to lead a high-performing team of licensed Customer Service Agents and help elevate the service experience for homeowners across every stage of their insurance journey.

In this role, you'll hire, coach, and develop a team while partnering across the business to improve processes, solve customer challenges, and deliver operational excellence.

• Your team consistently meets or exceeds customer service and operational performance goals.

• Customer escalations are resolved efficiently while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.

• New hires are successfully onboarded, engaged, and contributing quickly to team performance.

• Service improvements and coaching initiatives result in measurable gains in team effectiveness and customer satisfaction.

What you'll bring

• Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance license.

• 3+ years of customer service or customer support experience, including 2+ years leading customer service teams within the insurance industry.

• Call center leadership experience.

• Proven experience coaching and developing customer-facing employees to achieve performance goals.

• Experience using performance metrics and data to drive operational improvements.

How we work

We don’t just hire for skills. We hire for alignment. Kinfolk bring diverse perspectives, but we’re united by a shared set of values that shape how we work and how we show up for each other and our customers.

Run through walls, together - Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. We assume the best in each other and challenge ideas, not intentions. We show up, work hard, and play to each other's strengths — because that’s how great teams win.

Raise the bar. Drop the ego - Attitudes are contagious. Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. Like professional sports teams, we win by working in sync. We show up, work hard, and play to each other’s strengths.

Act like an owner - We are owners, fully accountable for achieving Kin’s mission. That requires positive, proactive, big-picture thinking well beyond our job descriptions. Ask questions, Take ownership. Do the right thing, even when it‘s hard. Because when Kin thrives, so do you. And so do our customers.

Operate lean. Deliver more - We build efficiency into everything we do. Each dollar we save gets reinvested to deliver more to our customers: better pricing, more products, and new innovations. We work smarter by relentlessly prioritizing and using technology, including AI, to multiply our impact. Lean is about focus, not deprivation. Lean isn't a limitation — it's our competitive advantage.

Keep asking ‘What if?’ - We value curiosity. To make insurance better for our customers, we experiment. We embrace insights. And we base decisions on data rather than assumptions. We see setbacks as opportunities for growth and are always learning and improving. Both individually and as a company.
