JOIN THE ARU TEAM!

ARU and its affiliated companies are seeking a full-time, hourly Marketing Associate to support key marketing and communications initiatives. This role is designed for a detail-oriented professional with 1-2 years of experience in marketing or communications who is comfortable managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. The associate will work closely with executives and team members to deliver consistent, professional, and engaging content across email, social media, web, and internal platforms.

A few words from our CEO, Will Johnson:

"I started ARU in 2016 at ground zero, with zero customers, zero revenue, and one big foundational idea: other market participants were operating fundamentally flawed models that were not sustainable. A completely new approach was needed -- an approach that looked ahead instead of backward and was based on the best available science, data, and technology. Fast forward to today, and the evidence suggests my original assessments were right on point. Not only has the overall property insurance market been reeling due to years of under-pricing and insufficient risk assessment practices, but many of ARU’s competitors' unsustainable practices have caught up to them, and they have been forced to leave the space outright. Meanwhile, ARU is strong, thriving, and growing.

Our success is not based on AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain, or any other buzzword. ARU is a company built on PEOPLE - people committed to being subject matter experts and operating with disciplined precision. If joining the team at the best specialty insurance organization in the U.S. is an intriguing professional opportunity, I invite you to reach out to us."
