What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Projects position at Cooper?
About Cooper AI
Cooper is an AI coworker for the insurance industry. Getting a business insured involves mountains of paperwork: filling out repetitive forms, re-typing the same information into one insurance company's website after another, and comparing offers by hand. Cooper does that busywork automatically, right inside the tools people already use, so brokers and their teams can focus on advising clients instead of pushing paper. We're a small team with deep insurance roots, teaching AI to do real, trusted work in a massive, overlooked industry.
Backed by Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Valor, Cooper AI is building from the ground up to modernize a $1T global insurance industry.
About The Role
We're looking for a team member to help us scale intelligently as Cooper grows. This is a high-impact generalist role sitting directly alongside our leadership team — you'll work across the organization to identify strategic opportunities, bring structure to ambiguity, and drive execution on the initiatives that matter most.
No two weeks will look the same. You might be building a framework to evaluate a new market opportunity one week and redesigning a customer-facing process the next. You're someone who identifies the problem, defines the approach, and gets moving.
