Senior Account Executive (San Francisco)

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 $185M 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 high-growth and innovative customers. 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?

This role is based in our San Francisco office. We require the team members to be in the office at least two days per week to foster close collaboration and team building. Vouch maintains core collaboration hours of 8:30 a.m.—2:30 p.m. Pacific Time to ensure efficient communication across all locations, and the majority of internal meetings are held during these times.
