Company mission
To build industry-leading solutions that make insurance easy for everyone, from consumers to partners to insurers.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years professional experience in a startup or growth stage business
- First hand experience building a people organization for rapid growth, ideally one with a “dual track” structure (e.g., corporate + agency)
- Strategic acumen and outcome orientation; you know that the People function drives real, tangible business value and you can craft strategies around that
- Ability to take an ambiguous problem, independently craft a work plan around it, and execute against that plan for 3-4 weeks at a time
- Adaptability and empathy to build rapport with individuals in diverse functional areas and develop a deep understanding of their world
- High energy, positive demeanor – you’ll often be the first face people see when they get introduced to Trellis and a regular “go-to” for team members at all levels
- Low ego and a willingness to roll up your sleeves
What the job involves
- Trellis is looking for an emerging leader to elevate how our company attracts, develops and retains top talent. The opportunity is perfect for someone who has contributed to scaling a People organization and is ready to take ownership of doing the same
- You’ll do this by working closely with senior leadership and functional leaders to define and execute a People strategy for the unique needs of our organization. This will include full employment lifecycle programs and processes from talent acquisition and onboarding, to professional development, performance management and employee engagement
- Importantly, you’ll need to do so while considering the important differences between teams like Product Management and Engineering versus front-line Sales and Service
- Work across the entire business, with teams like engineering, analytics and consumer operations
- Co-develop and manage hiring plans to attract and hire high-performing individuals who align with our company culture and values
- Design and implement performance management programs, including goal-setting, performance reviews, career-pathing, and professional development
- Enhance our employee engagement program, making it a selling point for new employees
- Take ownership of running our total rewards / employee benefits program
- Implement strategies with consideration for the unique make-up of our workforce (i.e., traditional startup technical & business teams plus a fast-growing insurance sales team)
- Be the subject matter expert for People-related compliance and own the day-to-day
Application process
- You can address your application to Scott. In your response to what gets you excited about the role, use the final bullet to name the last song you heard on the radio (the actual radio)
Our take
Changing insurance providers can be a daunting and overwhelming process due to the complexities often involved, resulting in many people sticking to the same provider, even if it doesn't best suit their needs.
Recognizing the difficulties faced by changing insurance providers and the need for better data-driven solutions is Trellis. The company has built an API platform that lets consumers compare insurance policies side-by-side, simplifying a once tricky ordeal. Setting itself apart from competitors, Trellis also partners with digital banks and financial institutions to offer new insurance options to their existing customers.
Due to its innovative approach to the space, Trellis has seen exponential growth since its inception in 2019 and more recently acquired the backing of Amex Ventures. Securing funding from Amex along with a number of other investors, Trellis is now in a prime position to accelerate its offerings and further innovate the insurance market.
