Lemonade Insurance Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Not your everyday company
Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.
At Lemonade, you'll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.
Unlike most publicly traded companies, we're nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don't care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.
We're built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don't like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there's no such thing as going over someone's head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.
As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

You will work closely with our Head of Partnerships and other leadership stakeholders to define and execute our multi-year growth strategy. If you're a seasoned business development and partnerships leader with a proven track record of signing impactful deals, building new growth channels, and leading go-to-market, we'd love for you to join our team.
We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.
Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.
We believe two things matter for every leadership role at Lemonade: leadership that sets the bar for excellence, builds high performing teams, and holds them accountable, and strategy that thinks several years ahead and turns ambitious plans into reality.

• Cultivate and foster deep, strategic relationships with important brands and potential partners, representing Lemonade's vision at key industry tradeshows and conferences
• Drive significant, measurable revenue growth by managing your team's sales pipeline, budget, resource allocation, and ensuring seamless cross-functional support
• Define and obsessively track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the partnerships channel, using a data-driven approach to measure the success of initiatives and guide future investment

What you'll need

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in business development, strategic partnerships, and go-to-market, ideally within Insurance or Fintech space
• 2-3+ years of experience managing and mentoring high-performing, efficient teams, with a proven ability to foster a strong team culture and high morale
• A strong track record of delivering tangible, quantifiable results and consistently achieving ambitious growth targets
• Expert ability to manage complex, multi-faceted partnership negotiations and lead initiatives from initial conception through to full delivery
• Comfortable working with and influencing senior leaders (VP and C-level) both internally and externally
• MBA or Advanced Degree, a plus
• Ready to work in our Soho office 3 days per week
• Enthusiasm about learning and adapting to the exciting world of AI - a commitment to exploring this field is a fundamental part of our culture
