BDR Manager
Location: Remote, with future potential to be hybrid in-office (Denver, CO)
Job Type: Full-Time
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 a Business Development Manager, you’ll be a player-coach: leading a team of 5+ BDRs while also carrying an individual quota. You’ll be responsible for driving top-of-funnel performance personally and across your team — owning outbound execution, coaching, performance management, and continuous improvement.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in high-output environments, leads by example, and knows how to turn outbound activity into a consistent, qualified pipeline. You’ll work closely with Growth, Sales, and Leadership to refine messaging, improve conversion rates, and scale a repeatable outbound engine.
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm EST (weekends off)
Location: Denver, CO, to start as work from home, with the potential to be in office hybrid as we build out a team hub.

- Improve Process & Messaging

- Identify patterns in successful outreach and turn them into repeatable best practices.

Who You Are:
