Job Description

Fernstone is building a new kind of insurance company: we combine AI with licensed brokers to obtain 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, underwritten, and serviced.
We’ve raised $2.8M from YCombinator and other notable investors, and have grown from 0 to 200+ customers since launching at the start of the year.
Fernstone was founded by James (BCG, Traba, UChicago), and Bryant (Google, SentiLink, Vanderbilt). We work in-person in our NYC office.

We are building our founding team and looking for exceptional people to join us.
As Growth & Operations 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 underwrite coverages and transact on policies
  • Product: transmit operations work into scalable, agent-led workflows
We’ll Be Most Excited If You
  • Have 1 - 3+ 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
We provide competitive compensation and substantial equity. This is a founding role, and that is reflected in scope, compensation, and upside.
