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.

We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.

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.

Why This Role Matters: As our Customer Experience & Retention Lead, you sit at the center of Stand’s relationship with its policyholders, from bind through renewal and beyond. You own the trust we build, the problems we solve, and the systems that turn early believers into long-term customers.

You’ll speak directly with customers and brokers, navigate difficult moments, and spot patterns before they become churn. Then you’ll translate those insights into scalable systems that allow Stand to grow without losing what makes us human.

This is not a passive CX role.

This is ownership of retention.

• Create retention playbooks for different customer cohorts (new purchase, refinance, price-sensitive, etc.)

• Identify patterns in customer needs and bring insight to Product team

Execute Flawlessly on the Fundamentals

• Ensure 95%+ on-time payment success by managing billing friction and customer questions

• Own endorsements and policy change workflows with fast turnaround times

Partner with Product to Scale

• Surface what's repetitive and should be automated vs. what requires human touch

Required Experience you bring:
