About You

We’re looking for the first marketing leader at Shepherd. We believe the best marketers are polymaths with diverse work experiences. They use their expertise in multiple areas and historic perspective to draw connections across the business in order to unlock new levers of growth.

In this role you will work cross-functionally with our insurance, underwriting, product, and engineering teams to take ownership of Shepherd’s brand, product marketing, digital marketing, and external content. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic Series A stage startup experiencing rapid growth across a diverse set of product offerings.

This is an in-person role from our San Francisco office.

• 5+ years in a marketing leadership role at a software, insurance, or fintech (financial services) business

• 2+ years in a product marketing (PMM) specific role

• Direct experience with channel sales GTM motions and creating / owning seller enablement assets

• Direct experience with life cycle / ABM / partner marketing

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree (or relevant work experience)

• Strong business acumen and willingness to operate in unstructured environments where you’ll own projects independently

• Willingness to create and own copywriting

• Strong sense of design

• Organized and have the ability to manage multiple tasks/projects simultaneously

Responsibilities

Shepherd is building a better and faster way to underwrite commercial insurance for high-hazard businesses, including using novel data sources. Our products are supported by a full-stack platform purpose built to launch and support everything from submission intake to policy issuance. Shepherd leverages its technology to make quick, informed, underwriting decisions. Finally, we pair our insurance products with native software (SaaS) solutions that help improve client outcomes and differentiate our offerings in the marketplace.

The successful marketing candidate will:

• Wear many hats, acting as a marketing generalist and first dedicated marketing leader for the company

• Develop a comprehensive marketing strategy and plan for the organization with measurable results

• Create the necessary narratives and enablement materials to support Shepherd underwriters and distribution partners (brokers)

• Take ownership of Shepherd’s external narrative and product framing as well as direct marketing campaigns
