About Chantry

Chantry is building an insurance and finance platform for homeowners in a world of increasing climate exposure. We help homeowners understand their risk, reduce it, and access the coverage needed to protect the places they call home.

Chantry Insurance—formerly Rhino—is our licensed California brokerage focused on catastrophe- and wildfire-exposed property. Our proprietary data pipeline and quoting engine remove administrative friction so producers can spend their time on what matters: advising homeowners and closing new business.

The opportunity

We are hiring our first dedicated producer. You will convert a high-volume inbound pipeline of more than 1,000 homeowner leads per month, bind $1–2 million in annual written premium, and build the repeatable sales playbook that future producers will follow.

This is a true new-business role. There is no post-bind servicing obligation. Speed, throughput, and close rate are the scorecard.

What you'll do

• Respond quickly to inbound homeowners and move qualified opportunities from first contact to bind.

• Produce $1–2 million in annual written premium across catastrophe- and wildfire-exposed personal property.

• Build and document a repeatable playbook for speed-to-lead, quoting, follow-up, objection handling, and close.

• Use our data pipeline and quoting engine to increase throughput, then contribute practical feedback that makes the software better.

• Navigate specialized placements—including admitted, E&S/non-admitted, California FAIR Plan plus wraparound/DIC, high-value homes, and surplus-lines markets.

• Track the funnel closely and improve speed-to-lead, quote-to-bind conversion, and policies bound.

What we're looking for

• An active California Property & Casualty producer license.

• A record as a top-performing personal-lines producer, regardless of where you developed it.

• Exceptional pace and follow-through across a large volume of inbound opportunities.

• Strong closing instincts: you can create urgency, explain complex tradeoffs clearly, and earn homeowner trust.

• Comfort adopting new software and contributing feedback while the product evolves.

• A startup mindset: high ownership, direct communication, and enthusiasm for meaningful upside and a fast operating pace.

Deep experience with specialized property products is valuable, but it is teachable here. Because nearly all of our business involves catastrophe- and wildfire-exposed property, you will build that expertise quickly.

How success is measured

• Speed-to-lead

• Quote-to-bind conversion

• Policies bound and overall throughput

• $1–2 million in annual written premium

• A documented, repeatable producer playbook
