About Equal Parts

Equal Parts is an acquisition-first, AI-powered insurance brokerage building the fastest path to $1B in premium. We acquire independent agencies, then scale them on a unified platform powered by first-party technology and customer operations teams.

Our model depends on delivering a consistent, high-quality customer experience across every agency, every policy, and every renewal. This role owns that outcome.

The Role

We are hiring a Head of Customer Experience to own the full customer lifecycle - onboarding, servicing, and renewals - across the Equal Parts platform.

You own both retention and the operating system that delivers it. This means defining the lifecycle, standardizing the process, and executing through a combination of owned and embedded agency resources.

This is a foundational, 0 to 1 leadership role that carries direct accountability for retention across the Equal Parts book of business. You will build the systems, processes, and teams that define how customer experience operates at scale across a rapidly growing, acquisition-driven platform.
