About Truvo

Truvo is an AI-native consumer insurance broker on a mission to rewire a trillion-dollar industry that still runs on phone calls, fax machines, and legacy carrier systems. Its platform uses AI agents to quote, bind, and service policies autonomously, saving the average household hundreds of dollars while delivering better protection. Truvo works with 40 of the largest US insurance carriers, is prepping to go live across all 50 states, and is launching life insurance as a new product line. Backed by top-tier funds and angels, including co-founders of Indeed, Wave, and Octopus, early team members from Google and Meta, and board members from Pinterest, Coinbase, and TTD.

• Genuine ownership from day one: Own whatever is most important that week — fundraising, ops, GTM, analytics, partnerships, or product strategy.

Intake Call Summary

The Role

A high-leverage generalist role sitting directly next to CEO Charles. The Chief of Staff owns whatever is most important that week; scope is intentionally broad and constantly changing. The previous Founder's Associate ran five different projects in a single day — hiring sales agents, optimizing marketing campaigns, finding a branding agency, building financial models, and bringing on new insurance carriers.

What You'll Be Doing

• Support fundraising end-to-end: investor research, deck iterations, data room management, and follow-up coordination
• Own operational projects from start to finish: vendor evaluation, hiring pipeline buildout, and process design
• Analyze data to surface insights across lead conversion, unit economics, and carrier performance
• Support GTM strategy: lead generation, partnership outreach, and carrier relationship management
• Draft investor updates, internal documentation, and external communications without hand-holding
• Build out early-stage projects yourself first, then systematize or automate them and hand off to future hires
• Jump into whatever is most on fire that week

Nice to have: prior experience at a startup, fintech, or insurtech; exposure to insurance, financial services, or AI-native products; experience managing multi-stakeholder projects or external partnerships; comfort with light financial modeling and operational analysis.

Tech stack: Not specified.

Requirements

• 1 to 3 years at a top-tier firm (Goldman, McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or comparable); strong new grads considered
• Strong analytical skills including spreadsheet proficiency, financial modeling, and data interpretation
• Excellent written communication for investor emails, internal docs, and external partner notes
• High agency and bias toward action, ships before it is perfect, moves without waiting to be unblocked
• Based in NYC or genuinely committed to relocating
• High integrity, this is a right-hand role and trust is the foundation of the hire

Green Flags

• Background from a top-tier firm or program (Goldman, McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or equivalent)
• Has multiple strong offers or optionality, and is choosing startups anyway
• Can point to a project they owned end-to-end and drove from start to finish
• Scrappy and fast execution mindset
• Genuinely excited about building from the ground floor
• Eyes light up when talking about the work, not the title or the comp

Red Flags

• 10+ years at a large consulting or corporate firm, wrong pace and wrong expectations for this stage
• Needs heavy direction or structured processes to execute
• Changing jobs every 3 months or less
• Motivated primarily by title or structured career ladders over ownership and impact
• Any integrity concerns, this is an immediate disqualifier per Charles
• Tier-two firm background without clear evidence they were performing at a tier-one level
• Primary background in venture capital (e.g., VC analyst, scouts, associate, investor roles)
