Job description

Overview

The $3T commercial insurance market runs on email threads and spreadsheets. We're building the AI agent layer that fixes this: submission intake, data extraction, insurer outreach, quote comparison. Brokers cover more ground without ripping out their existing systems. We're in stealth, but already live with several of the top 10 global brokers (over $150B combined market cap). Backed by Creandum, Kleiner Perkins and Vicus Ventures, as well as former executives at the world’s largest brokers and frontier AI labs.

The role

You'll be the first hire dedicated to getting our product live inside broker firms and making it stick. That means sitting with handlers in branch offices, mapping how a renewal moves through their day, configuring our agents around it, and running the pilot through to a readout the sponsor can sign off. You'll own deployments end to end, from kick-off and shadowing through UAT and live use, and you'll turn what you learn on the ground into how we deploy everywhere else. This is a player-coach role: run the deployments now, build the team and the playbook as we grow. You'll work directly with the founders and see your work shape how hundreds of billions of pounds of insurance get placed.

What we're looking for

People who've made software work in organisations that didn't ask for it. Forward-deployed engineers, implementation leads, ex-consultants who stayed until the thing was live, ex-founders who did their own onboarding. We care that you can win over a sceptical branch manager and a nervous compliance team in the same week, that you're comfortable being the face of the product on-site, and that you can hold a project to its gates without losing the room. Startup DNA matters more than domain knowledge. We'll teach you insurance; we can't teach you how to figure things out when nobody's handing you a playbook.

What we offer

• £70,000–£110,000 base salary plus meaningful equity. Founder-level impact should carry founder-level upside.
• Based in London, with regular time on-site at broker offices across the UK.
• A deliberate hiring process: we take our time because we're asking for the next years of your life, and we want to get it right on both sides.
