🧡 Coverflex

Work changed. Pay didn’t.

Coverflex exists to make compensation work for everyone.
Pay is still rigid, fragmented, and hard to feel.
We turn compensation into choice — one platform, one card, one app — for benefits, meal allowance, insurance and more.

Our platform is simple for HR and meaningful for employees.
We provide choice, smarter compensation tools and empowerment.

⚡ Reality Check – What Makes This Role Hard

Let’s be real, this role sits at the intersection of operations, client expectations, and external dependencies.

Here’s what makes it challenging:

• You’ll handle a high volume of requests, where speed matters but mistakes are costly

• You’ll manage sensitive situations (claims, coverage issues), often with frustrated customers

• You’ll depend on external partners (insurers), where timelines and outcomes aren’t fully in your control

• You’ll constantly balance operational execution with relationship management

• You’ll need to prioritise effectively in a context where everything can feel urgent

👤 You

Must-haves

• Certification or licensing as an insurance broker/agent

• 5+ years of experience in the insurance sector (broker, insurer, or large account management)

• Experience managing corporate or enterprise clients

• High autonomy and ability to manage a portfolio strategically

• Strong professional communication skills (written and spoken)

• Fluent in English and Portuguese

Nice-to-have

• Experience in fast-paced or high-growth environments

• Familiarity with digital insurance platforms or insurtech solutions

🧬 Your DNA

• Ownership mindset: you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

• Customer-centric: you build trust and handle sensitive situations with empathy and clarity.

• Detail-oriented: you understand that accuracy is critical in insurance operations.

• Problem-solver: you don’t escalate problems by default — you work through them.

• Structured: you can handle volume without losing control or quality.

• Improvement-driven: you look for ways to make processes faster, better, and more scalable.

You’ll probably find this frustrating if…

• You are reactive instead of proactive

• You overlook details or struggle with accuracy

• You avoid difficult customer conversations

• You struggle to prioritize in high-pressure environments

• You resist process improvements or operational structure
