Chief of Staff at WithCoverage in New York, NY

Chief of Staff

Location: New York, NY, in office.

About WithCoverage:

WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.

We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.

Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.

WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors, including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures, and Crystal Venture Partners.

Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.

Why Join Us:

• Grow Faster – We’re scaling quickly, giving you significant opportunities to learn, lead, and shape your career and the company's future.
• Work That Matters – We protect the world’s most innovative brands: consumer icons, hospitality leaders, next-gen defense contractors, and US manufacturers.
• Redefine an Industry – Insurance is one of the largest, slowest-moving markets. We rewrite the playbook with proprietary technology, automation, and AI.
• Financial Rewards – We hire the best and invest in you. That means competitive comp, meaningful equity, and excellent benefits. We believe strongly in internal promotion and lay out a plan for everyone's career growth.

About The Role:

As our Chief of Staff, you will act as a direct force multiplier to the CEO while helping drive the company’s early revenue engine. This is a hybrid strategic + customer-facing role designed for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, loves solving ambiguous problems, and is excited to help build a company from the ground up. You’ll play a pivotal part in aligning the organization, accelerating decision-making, supporting sales conversations, and ensuring early customers have a seamless, high-value experience. If you want a seat at the table and enjoy wearing multiple hats, from operations to GTM to customer success, this role is uniquely high-impact and high-visibility.

What You’ll Do:

• To make things simple – You’ll be 100% focused on growing WithCoverage as quickly and efficiently as possible. You’ll directly own the most important initiatives to get this done.
  • Act as an extension of the CEO to drive alignment, follow-through, and execution across the company.
  • Lead project management for cross-functional initiatives (launches, implementations, partnerships) to keep the company operating smoothly.
  • Support and eventually lead sales activities—including joining discovery calls, managing the pipeline, handling follow-ups, and driving deals toward close.
  • Manage CEO priorities, prepare materials for key meetings, and ensure decisions translate into actionable plans.

Who You Are:

• 2–6 years of experience across operations, chief of staff, sales, consulting, or other generalist roles.
• A strong communicator who can represent the CEO internally and externally with clarity and polish.
• Comfortable in sales calls - can ask thoughtful questions, handle objections, and drive next steps.
• A builder of processes and systems, especially in zero-to-one environments.
• Highly organized with exceptional follow-through and attention to detail.
• Thrives in ambiguity and enjoys switching between strategic planning and hands-on execution.
• High ownership mindset - proactive, resourceful, and able to work with minimal direction.
• Comfortable with data, dashboards, CRM tools, and basic GTM metrics.
• Trustworthy and discreet, with the judgment to handle sensitive information and represent leadership effectively.
