About Spark Advisors
We're Spark, a mission-driven company helping independent Medicare brokers build the insurance business of their dreams. The vast majority of beneficiaries select benefits with the help of an independent broker, but technology and support for brokers is woefully antiquated. We provide workflows and services to help brokers achieve transformative growth.
In just five years, we've partnered with over 6,000 brokers and enrolled over 140,000 beneficiaries, making us the fastest-growing Medicare brokerage in the country. Brokers love us: during this period of intense growth, we've maintained an NPS of 91 and a client retention rate of 93%, and we've helped brokers grow on average >100% since partnering with us.
It's an exciting time to be at Spark. Our diverse, remote-first team comes from leading technology, healthcare, and insurance companies, and has grown from 70 to 90 in the last year. Most recently, we've raised a Series B from leading investors who share our ambition.
Join us: we're always on the lookout for sharp, talented, empathetic teammates.
