Head of Claims
$150k - $210k USD
Why Join Stand: At Stand, you’ll help build a new class of global property protection. We use advanced physics and AI to model catastrophic risk at the asset level, then automate underwriting and mitigation before loss occurs. Insurance is simply the current delivery mechanism. The real product is a scalable risk engine.
We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.
Background: The property insurance industry is built to price loss after it happens. It relies on coarse proxies, backward-looking data, and manual processes, then accepts damage as unavoidable.
Stand takes a different approach. We simulate how real-world catastrophes affect individual properties, translate that into actionable decisions, and automate the business around it. The result is a platform that can underwrite what others can’t and operate with far less friction.
Role Summary: As Head of Claims at Stand Insurance, you will be responsible for managing the Claims lifecycle, end-to-end in conjunction with third party partners and the Operations team. Unlike many Claims roles, however, this role is unique in that it also provides an opportunity to be part of the solution in avoiding claims before they happen by working with mitigation and retrofitting vendors. By being involved in the building process before, during, and after a claim, you will be able to ensure we are fulfilling our promise of security to insureds in every facet.
