Every business starts with a simple question. For us, that question was: "why is buying insurance such a frustrating experience?"

Our response was: "It doesn't have to be!" PolicyGenius is changing the game by making insurance shopping faster, friendlier and more efficient for the online consumer. Shopping for insurance might never be "fun" but it certainly can be easy and enjoyable. Want to help us achieve that?

We're looking for a Director of Growth and Marketing. This role will be responsible for shaping the PolicyGenius growth story: you’ll work with the marketing team to develop and execute an online growth strategy that will become a new benchmark for success in financial services and insurance.

KnowItOwl - New York, NY - full-time (http://www.knowitowl.com)

We're looking for a full-stack engineer/CTO to love the hell out of this problem. You'll be the 4th member, and technical lead, of an incredibly talented team with a track record in insurance, startups, consumer marketing and design/UX. We have had a successful alpha phase and are already revenue positive. http://knowitowl.theresumator.com/apply/

Do you want to solve: A problem with scale. Insurance is a $2 trillion industry. That’s 36 times larger than Google and Facebook combined. Insurers pay their aging sales force a mint to sell insurance the old-fashioned way (with paper, face-to-face). We’re going to change this.

A problem that’s socially important. Nobody’s helping people figure out insurance – and that’s bad. Under-insured medical problems contribute to over half of all personal bankruptcies and home foreclosures. We’re going to deliver social impact.

A problem in desperate need of a new approach. The consumer problem in insurance is deceptively simple: insurance is hard to sell because people don’t want to think about bad things like death and illness. Insurers just throw money at the problem: advertising, hefty commissions, pushy sales agents. We’re introducing a new approach.
