Demand Generation Lead

Job detailsApplication formThe $1.5 trillion insurance industry is powered by brokers. Every business needs insurance, and the brokerage industry is hamstrung by account management capacity. Account managers are constantly pulled in multiple directions — keying information into systems, chasing documents, doing mundane work — rather than focusing on the client interactions that actually matter. Most brokerages either outsource this work or grind through it manually.We’re building an AI platform to automate this insurance drudgery. Our platform already saves customers thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year. Our customers love the product — we have deep penetration within enterprise brokerages and genuinely enjoy making our customers’ lives better.
