About Vouch:
Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.
Vouch is a new, technology-first insurance company backed with $160M in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for high-growth companies.
We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customers -high growth and innovative companies. Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is building new technology to solve real problems, writing policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios, and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry.
What does a work environment look like at Vouch?
Vouch has a 3-HQ model: Office-Based, Office-Linked, and Remote-First. This role has a preference of Office-Linked, which means that team members must live within a 2-3 hour commute from one of our main offices (SF or Chicago) and come into the office 3-4 times per month on an as-needed basis. However, due to Covid, we are promoting flexibility with this structure and currently encourage folks to stay home if they feel more comfortable. Although we strongly prefer Office Linked, we’re open to Remote-First if a candidate is open to traveling to one of our offices 2+ times per quarter.
