Job description

San Francisco, CA · On-site (5 days) · Full-time Compensation: $100,000–$150,000 + competitive equity

About the Company

Our client is an applied-AI insurtech rebuilding the foundation of the insurance industry by automating the full claims process — intake, fraud detection, and settlement — to improve loss ratios and reduce manual work for large insurers. In under a year the team reached multi-seven-figure ARR with 50% month-over-month growth, and it raised an oversubscribed seed round from Tier 1 funds.

Founded 2025 · ~12 people (11–50) · Industry: FinTech / Insurtech (applied AI)

The Role

The client is hiring a Strategy & Operations professional to scale claims operations at one of the fastest-growing applied-AI insurtechs, working directly with the CEO to bring structure, clarity, and efficiency to how claims are handled at scale.

Requirements
  • 1–3 years in MBB consulting, investment banking, private equity, or a top-tier startup in a strategic-projects/operations role
  • Located in or willing to relocate to San Francisco (5 days on-site)
Nice to Haves
  • An MBB consultant (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) with strategic-project delivery experience, ideally 1–2 years post-undergrad
  • An investment-banking analyst at a top-tier firm with 1–2 years' tenure
  • A strategic-operations or chief-of-staff role at a top-tier startup (Series A–C, ideally vertical AI or fintech) with demonstrated 0-1 ownership
  • A strong technical or quantitative undergrad from a top program, paired with operational chops
  • An internship or co-founder signal at a startup
Why Join
  • Work directly with the CEO: own special projects and strategic initiatives from day one, with a fast track into leadership of a core business area
  • Build, don't maintain: a real 0-1 mandate to formalize claims operations — process design, hiring, workflows — as the company scales
  • An elite team and traction: multi-seven-figure ARR, 50% MoM growth, and a bench of top-quant-firm and marquee-tech engineers, AI researchers, and competition winners
