- Cut quote-to-bind time, especially on complex risks, through decisive communication and clear workflows. Earn top-tier broker satisfaction by being more responsive and easier to work with than any other carrier they use. Be the underwriter who finds solutions.

- Thoughtful use of AI tools is expected and valued at Stand. Candidates should be prepared to discuss how they use AI, how they evaluate its output, and how it informs their work. Strong communication, sound judgment, and the ability to clearly articulate experience and decision-making remain core requirements. Some parts of the interview process are designed to assess independent thinking, communication, and problem-solving. If you plan to use an AI assistant or LLM during any portion of an interview, please discuss it with your interviewer in advance. Work Authorization

- 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, our Stand World Model .
- We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices. Our leadership team has built category-defining companies (Metromile, Policygenius, WePay, HotelTonight) and brings decades of expertise in underwriting, capital management, and reinsurance.
- 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.
- Stand is reimagining high-net-worth personal lines insurance for a world where the old playbook doesn't work anymore. Climate risk is escalating, client expectations are rising, and legacy carriers are retreating or stuck in out-dated workflows. We're building the carrier that solves hard problems by combining deep underwriting judgment with modern technology to protect what matters most to our clients.
- This isn't about moving paper faster. It's about being the underwriter brokers want to work with on their toughest risks, the one who asks better questions, finds creative solutions, and builds a book that's both profitable and resilient.
- You're deeply curious about people, assets, and emerging risks, you ask the pertinent questions about lifestyle, property features, liability exposures, and what might evolve in the future.
- You're creative in solving non-standard risks with bespoke terms and layered structures without sacrificing profitability, and you know when to look for solutions versus when to walk away.
- You're broker-obsessed, communicating clearly and explaining the "why" behind your decisions while holding the line on terms when needed.
- You're tech-inclined and naturally ask "Can we systematize this?" when you see repeatable tasks.
- Most importantly, you execute with ownership, you eschew "we can't" or "I'll have to refer this," make timely decisions on complex submissions, and your follow-through is a hallmark.
- Your experience primarily lies in commercial lines, or in high-volume personal lines with limited exposure to complex, high-net-worth, or CAT-driven risks.
- You rely on frequent escalation or consensus before making a call, rather than taking ownership of the underwriting decision and its outcome.
- You want technology and workflows to stay fixed, and aren't interested in helping systematize repeatable work or improve how underwriting gets done.
- We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
