Company Description
Every year, millions of seniors lapse or surrender their life insurance policies for little or no value in return from their insurance company. Lighthouse Life helps seniors by giving them the option to sell their policy instead, receiving significantly more value than had they otherwise given up their policy. The money we pay seniors helps meet retirement needs, healthcare costs, long term care expenses, or whatever else they’d like.
Our start-up atmosphere encourages innovation and collaboration throughout the organization. We promote a healthy work-life balance and have created an open and fun environment. That said, we are driven to exceed expectations and want to share our days with those who raise their hand, step forward, and work hard.
Our compensation package is highly competitive for the position and includes comprehensive benefits as well as a flexible and generous PTO policy.
Lighthouse Life is a remote-first company. This role can be located anywhere within the U.S. with occasional travel to our offices for meetings or other team events. Lighthouse Life’s offices are located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, less than 10 miles outside of the city of Philadelphia, and steps from the regional commuter train line.
