Job description

About Vega

The $250B insurance claims industry runs on fax machines, phone tag, and adjusters buried in paperwork. Cycle times stretch for months. Data is locked in legacy systems. And the workforce is aging out faster than it's being replaced.

Vega is the premier AI-native claims TPA built to replace that entire stack. Our team is equal parts experienced insurance operators and modern technologists. We care deeply about delivering superior outcomes for our clients, and we want builders that get their hands dirty shipping solutions that move the needle.

Our results: 10x YoY revenue growth, and on track for $XXM run-rate in under 2 years. Backed by marquee VCs like General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Valor.

The Role

We're looking for someone to help us scale intelligently as Vega grows.

This is a high-impact role at a fast-growing company redefining one of the largest industries in the world. You will work on a variety of mission critical strategic projects alongside our CEO, Head of BizOps, Head of Product, and Head of Ops.

No two weeks will look the same, and no project will be too small or too large. You might be building the GTM strategy for a new segment one week, and then another week - help define pricing strategy or drive our customer onboarding strategy with Product, Eng and Ops.

We believe there's real value in being together as a team. We come into the office 4 days per week, creating space to collaborate, move quickly, and build strong relationships with the people we work alongside.

What You'll Do

• Partner with executive leaders (CEO, Head of BizOps, Head of Product, etc.) to define and prioritize the most critical strategic questions facing the business

• Own high-priority, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end - from scoping and analysis through execution and measurement

• Conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses - market sizing, competitive landscape, unit economics - and turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations

• Develop and maintain critical operating metrics and reporting cadences, communicating insights to senior stakeholders in a clear, compelling way

• Serve as a connective layer across Product, GTM, and (post)-Sales teams - aligning stakeholders, facilitating decisions, and removing blockers

Benefits

• Competitive Salary

• Equity - giving you direct stake in the future of an AI-native industry leader.

• Top-tier medical, dental, and vision insurance.

• 401k with company match.

• Flexible PTO and a work from home stipend.

• A fast-paced, high-talent density team that values transparency and shipping fast.
