Risk Advisor - Construction

New York, NY Los Angeles, CA Philadelphia, PA Remote

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 across commercial construction, advanced manufacturing, and complex infrastructure. Our construction clients include general contractors, specialty subcontractors, owners, and developers who operate in high-exposure environments and need a brokerage 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 - enabling deeper 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 built environment: general contractors, specialty trades, developers, and infrastructure owners operating in complex risk environments.
• Redefine an Industry - Construction insurance is one of the largest, most underserved segments in commercial lines. 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

We're looking for a Risk Advisor to support construction client relationships and help scale our construction vertical. You'll work alongside senior advisors and directly with business leaders at GCs, specialty contractors, and developers to assess exposures, participate in Risk Analyses, and deliver tailored solutions that drive measurable impact. This role is ideal for someone in the first five years of their construction insurance career who is eager to develop deep technical expertise and grow into a trusted client advisor.

What You'll Do

• Support and manage a portfolio of construction accounts, including GCs, specialty subcontractors, developers, and owners across admitted and E&S markets.
• Participate in client-facing Risk Analyses, helping diagnose coverage gaps across GL, WC, Auto, Umbrella/Excess, Builders Risk, and Inland Marine.
• Assist in preparing marketing submissions, renewal proposals, and program comparisons covering exposure changes, loss history, coverage terms, and cost of risk.
• Build and contribute to playbooks for the construction vertical to create repeatable, scalable best practices.
• Support certificate and contract review processes, identifying insurance requirements and potential coverage mismatches.
• Help manage ongoing program administration including audits, adjustments, endorsements, and claims coordination.
• Collaborate closely with Growth, Product, and Ops teams to ensure seamless execution and a differentiated client experience.
• Translate client needs into actionable insights for underwriting, operations, and product improvements.
• Track and report key client metrics to identify opportunities for expansion, efficiency, and impact.
• Contribute to the culture of excellence, curiosity, and accountability that defines our team.

Who You Are

• 2-5 years into your career, ideally with experience in commercial insurance, construction risk, or client advisory roles.
• Some familiarity with construction coverage lines - GL, WC, commercial auto, and builders risk - and a strong desire to develop deeper technical expertise.
• Confident in client conversations and growing in your ability to present analyses, program summaries, or proposals.
• Strong critical thinking skills, with experience (or aptitude) for evaluating coverage programs and translating analysis into actionable strategies.
• Deeply curious about how construction businesses operate and motivated to become a trusted advisor to their leaders.
• Strong communicator who thrives in fast-moving, collaborative environments.
• Highly detail-oriented and accountable - you own outcomes, not just tasks.
• Coachable and eager to learn; open to feedback and committed to growth.
• Drawn to environments where performance is rewarded with real upside and autonomy.
• Hardworking, kind, and humble - the type of teammate others want to work with.
• Active P&C Brokers License required (or must be obtained within 120 days of hire).
