Associate Members are individuals or organizations that hold a non-voting or limited-participation membership status within an organization, institution, or professional association. This role typically allows members to access certain resources, attend events, and participate in some activities, but without the full privileges or responsibilities of regular or full members. Associate membership is often ideal for those seeking to be involved with the organization but do not meet all the criteria for full membership, or for those who prefer a less active role. Benefits and requirements for Associate Members can vary widely depending on the organization's structure and goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an associate member, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Associate Member, you generally need a relevant educational background, foundational industry knowledge, and eligibility criteria set by the professional organization. Familiarity with membership management systems and digital collaboration platforms is often expected. Effective communication, networking ability, and a proactive attitude help individuals make the most of membership opportunities. These skills and qualities are important for building professional connections, accessing resources, and advancing within the organization or field.

How does an associate member typically collaborate with other team members within an organization?

As an Associate Member, you are often expected to work closely with more senior colleagues and various departments on collaborative projects. This role usually involves supporting ongoing initiatives, contributing to group discussions, and assisting with research or administrative tasks. Open communication and a willingness to learn from others are highly valued, as you will frequently seek guidance and feedback to develop your professional skills. The team structure often encourages mentorship, helping you build strong networks and grow within the organization.

What We Do

We're a member-owned property and casualty insurer designed exclusively for financially successful families and driven by a purpose of doing what is right for our members. We provide exceptional service, hospitality and care, we partner with our members to help prevent losses and we create smart insurance solutions at fair prices.

We aim for our members to love their insurance. It is our mission is to create a membership experience so compelling that our members never want to leave.

Who You Are

All of the strongest relationships are a partnership- a two way street. So here's what we ask of you:

  • Aim to bring your best every day: you're here because you want to be part of a team that makes a real impact and aims high.
  • Be a student and a teacher: share your knowledge and talents and be willing to listen and learn from those around you.
  • Get comfortable being uncomfortable: we face tough moments and obstacles with a "courage over comfort" approach and a positive, solutions-oriented mindset.
  • Be a culture builder: building a positive culture is everyone's responsibility, based on care, respect and openness to diverse perspectives.

What You'll Need

You know your way around a computer. You can easily switch between multiple applications to complete a task. Remembering details, prioritizing competing tasks and thinking critically to solve problems are things that come easily to you (likely because you may have previously worked in a restaurant, school or retail store). You take pride in your work, communicate your thoughts clearly (over the phone and in writing) and your friends and family describe you as a person with integrity.

Simply put, you'll provide exceptional service to our members during difficult times.

  • The majority of your day will be spent taking phone calls from our members, taking first notice of loss

  • Deliver exceptional customer service during all interactions with members, provide proactive member outreach, and handle service requests to completion; focusing on empathetic service, active listening, and building trust

  • Handle follow-ups on glass and tow auto claims, applying coverage, setting reserves, and bringing claims to resolution

  • Quickly respond to member and agent inquiries via telephone, email and mail, making it easy for them to work with us

Company culture is more than free lunches and swag (although we love those, too!). At PURE, all employees have regularly scheduled 1X1's with their manager. That's because feedback is a gift and everyone at PURE strives to be better than the day before.We also invest in our employees' professional and personal development, so when new career opportunities become available, we look internally first.

Commuter Support
Commuting can be expensive. That's why we offer additional support of $100 per month to those who commute into a PURE office three days or more a week.
