## Description

**Fernstone is building a new kind of insurance company: we combine AI with expert advisors to place insurance faster and at better terms. **
Insurance is a $1T category that still runs on pen and paper. We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how insurance is bought, sold, and serviced.
We’ve raised $3M from YCombinator and other notable investors.
Fernstone was founded by **James** (BCG, Traba, UChicago), and **Bryant** (Google, SentiLink, Vanderbilt). We work in-person in our NYC office.

**Since the start of the year we’ve grown from 0 to 500+ customers** – we’ve built a compelling product, and now we are scaling it up to reach thousands more.

As Founding Growth & Ops Lead, your scope will span Growth, Operations, and Product:

- **Growth**:own, launch, and grow an industry vertical core to our business

- **Operations**: partner with insurance carriers to place coverage and transact on policies

- **Product**: transmit operations work into scalable, agent-led workflows

We’ll be most excited if you:

- Have 2 - 4+ years working on a team that requires operational rigor and analytical excellence (high-growth startup, consulting, banking/PE, or similar)

- Have built something before and are excited about ownership, ambiguity, and fast execution

- Have accomplished impressive things in your life, whether professionally, academically, competitively, or otherwise

This is a founding role, and that is reflected in scope, equity, and upside.
