Stand Insurance•San Francisco, CA

17d•$155,000 - $200,000•Onsite

About The Position

Stand is building a new class of global property protection using advanced physics and AI to model catastrophic risk at the asset level, automating underwriting and mitigation before loss occurs. The company's core product is the Stand World Model, a scalable risk engine. Unlike traditional insurers that price loss after it happens using backward-looking data and manual processes, Stand simulates how real-world catastrophes affect individual properties, translates this into actionable decisions, and automates the business around it. This approach allows Stand to underwrite what others cannot and operate with greater efficiency. The company is seeking a Senior Recruiter to bring full-cycle recruiting in-house, filling complex, specialized, and leadership roles efficiently and with high quality. This role is crucial for building a robust recruiting engine that supports Stand's growth without a proportional increase in organizational size. The recruiting engine will focus on self-sourced pipelines, establishing hiring standards through scorecards and interview panels, ensuring speed without compromising quality, and delivering an excellent candidate and hiring manager experience. The Senior Recruiter will partner with leaders across Product Engineering, Underwriting, Market Leads, and business functions. This is a builder role where success is measured by the quality, speed, and performance of new hires.
