About Vouch:

Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.

Vouch is a new, technology-first insurance company backed with $160M in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for high-growth companies.

We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customers -high growth and innovative companies. Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is building new technology to solve real problems, writing policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios, and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry.

What does a work environment look like at Vouch?

Vouch is a Virtual First Workplace with office locations in SF and Chicago. This Vertical Lead must be based in SF or NYC, as they’ll be expected to attend local events 3-4x a month. Vouch’s core collaboration hours are 8:30 am-2:30 pm Pacific Time.

Role Responsibilities:

As the Vertical Lead - AI and SaaS at Vouch, you’ll be responsible for building our team, book, and products within this category. The pace of change in AI is only accelerating, and we’re looking for a leader that can help Vouch stay one step ahead of the market as we seek to bridge the divide between today’s institutional and regulatory realities and the future that our clients are actively building. We need someone dynamic enough to hold court with the world’s most sophisticated investors, roll up their sleeves to dig into the details, and translate all of this complexity to clients unfamiliar with insurance. Out of the gate, you’ll dive right into leading the development of our Enterprise offerings, help define our GTM strategy for approaching this segment, build relationships with key partners, and build Vouch’s brand in the ecosystem.
