• Customer Journey Mapping: Experience mapping complex journeys and simplifying processes to improve efficiency.


• Strategic Growth: The ability to drive process improvements that deliver growth in line with business goals.

Insurance & Licensing:

We value your operational expertise above all else. While we deal in insurance, we’re prepared to help the right leader bridge the industry gap:

• Insurance Expertise: 4+ years of experience in commercial insurance is a "nice to have," but not a dealbreaker.


• Licensing: You’ll be required to obtain a valid RIBO license after hiring (we’ll support you through this process).

AI Tools and Your Interview:

We know AI is a valuable tool, and you're welcome to use it to prepare for your interview. However, please don't use AI assistants during the live interview itself. We want to have an authentic conversation with you, and using AI during the interview could affect our evaluation of your suitability for the role.

Just so you know, we use an AI scribe to help us take notes and review interviews, ensuring a fair and clear process.

Diversity & Inclusion:

Zensurance celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and provide accommodations throughout the hiring process. If you need support, let us know, we’re here to help.

Thank You!

We review every application with care to find the best fit for our team.

While we may take a little time to get back to you due to the high volume of applications we receive, know that a real human (not a bot!) is reviewing yours. We appreciate your patience and can't wait to learn more about you!

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
