San Francisco On-site Full-time USD 110,000 – 140,000 / year

Harper is hiring a Business Operations Associate

Responsibilities

  • Run the operation — Tackle underwriter follow-ups, manage carrier communications, keep deals moving through the pipeline
  • Build systems that scale — Create processes, workflows, and organizational structures that make the entire team more effective; make manual work obsolete
  • Own customer and underwriter relationships — Be the person who ensures nothing falls through the cracks on either side
  • Enable sales — Arm the sales team with what they need to close: data, materials, process improvements, feedback loops
  • Touch every stage of the insurance lifecycle — Intake, onboarding, servicing, renewals; you'll see how the entire business works, not just one slice
  • Shape what engineering builds — Work directly with engineering teams to translate operational pain points into product requirements
  • Jump between roles — Move fluidly across functions based on what's most urgent; comfort with ambiguity isn't optional, it's the job

Requirements

  • 1–3 years of experience in a high-pace environment (startup, consulting, banking, operations, or equivalent)
  • Strong communication skills—written and verbal—with customers, underwriters, and internal teams
  • Comfort with data: you don't need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to pull insights from a spreadsheet and make a decision
  • Bias toward action over analysis
  • Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate immediately

Nice to Have

  • Previous startup or founder experience
  • Insurance, fintech, or regulated industry exposure
  • Familiarity with CRM tools, workflow automation, or AI-assisted tooling
  • Background in sales, customer success, or account management

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Commuter benefits
  • Team meals and snacks

Work Arrangement

On-site

Additional Information

  • The hours are long. The learning curve is steep. The people who thrive here wouldn't have it any other way.
