About the role
- This role works directly with the CEO on the hardest problems in the business, with a seat in everything substantive: biz ops, growth, strategic projects, investor materials, M&A diligence, and whatever becomes most urgent that week.
- The company is changing fast, and the job is to flex across it and take on whatever matters most right now.
- We just closed our Series A, and the systems built now decide whether we go from tens of millions in premium to hundreds of millions, then billions.
Responsibilities
- Build 0→1 systems. Across underwriting operations, customer experience, and risk evaluation - using AI to replace historically manual brokerage work.
- Own problems end-to-end. Gather data, map the system, find the constraint, propose the fix, run the experiment, drive to done.
- Build the intelligence layer. Dashboards, metrics, and reporting that surface truth about throughput and efficiency.
Requirements
- 2-5 years in high-intensity analytical or operational roles (IB, PE, management consulting, or equivalent startup experience)
- a track record of delivering under pressure
Nice to have
- insurance, fintech, or regulated-industry experience
- prior work directly with founders or C-suite
- familiarity with AI/automation tooling
- prior startup or 0→1 experience.
- We'll be direct, because this role attracts people who romanticize "working with the CEO" and underestimate the cost:
- The scope never settles.
- What's urgent today may be irrelevant in two weeks.
- If you need a defined mandate and a stable roadmap, you will be miserable here.
Compensation
- $150,000-$175,000 + performance bonuses & equity
Benefits
- Uber commuter benefits; breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided; snacks, drinks, and coffee daily; free gym membership; health, dental, and vision insurance.
Company info
- Run cross-functional initiatives. Coordinate across engineering, carriers, underwriters, and customers with speed and high quality.
