COMPANY INTRO ARU , founded in 2016, has quickly risen to become the U.S. leader in specialty property insurance underwriting, product development, loss control, and technology.   OPERATIONS ASSISTANT POSITION INTRO ARU continues to grow at a rapid pace, and we are currently seeking an rising operations professional to join our team, contribute to our continued growth, and prepare for a more senior role in the company.

This is an ENTRY LEVEL position; previous insurance and administrative experience is a plus - but is NOT REQUIRED.

A few words from ARU's CEO Will Johnson :

  • "I started ARU in 2016 at ground zero, with zero customers, zero revenue, and one big foundational idea :   other market participants were operating fundamentally flawed models that were not sustainable .
  • I strongly believed ARU could deliver substantial value by making a clean break from the legacy underwriting methods and by building a completely new and innovative approach.
  • But - I must say, believing  it and executing  it were two very different things, ha!
  • While it certainly has not been easy, amazing work by the ARU team has generated superlative growth and profitability results, and it continues to be incredibly fulfilling to see ARU's original mission be realized.
  • I am now seeking the next great addition to our team, an Operations Assistant to support a newly formed unit focused on building new insurance programs and lines of business.

If you seek a career as a world-class insurance operations professional, I invite you to reach out to us." WHAT WE’RE OFFERING TO YOU :

  • You will work closely with company executives, including Co-founder Will Johnson, a nationally-recognized insurance leader.
  • You will perform in a key collaborative, administrative, and support role, helping establish and grow the new division.

    • MORE ABOUT ARU :

  • ARU was founded with a goal to use expertise, engineering, and technology to disrupt the legacy marketplace.
