This is a high-stakes, customer deployment role where you own the intersection of technical architecture and executive alignment. You will live inside carrier environments and will bridge the gap between our engineering and the messy, political, and technical reality of large carriers to deliver undeniable ROI. If you are a technical athlete who can lead a war room of demanding executives and then dive into a data model to solve a bottleneck, this is the role. Background: Strala is automating claims and improving loss ratios for the world’s largest insurers. We are rebuilding the $280B foundation of the world's largest industry with applied AI. In less than a year, we have reached multi-seven-figure ARR and ~50% MoM growth with zero dedicated growth headcount. In our first year we raised two rounds from Tier 1 funds led by the early partners in OpenAI, Cognition, and Ramp. Our lean team is a concentrated unit of top tier competitors: the top industry sales leaders, engineers from DRW, Optiver, AWS, and Palantir; AI researchers from Oxford and Cambridge labs publishing at ICML, ICCV, and NeurIPS; and multiple ICPC and Olympiad winners. In this role you will - Own multiple client deployments from post-sale design through go-live and stabilization – and be the single point of contact for VP-level stakeholders throughout. - Work with client teams on architecture, data models, workflow design, and source-of-record decisions. - Turn messy client reality into clear plans: milestones, owners, risks, dependencies, and cadence. Communicate progress and blockers to client executives and internal engineering with equal precision. - Build trust with senior stakeholders while going deep with operators and technical teams. You are credible in both rooms. - Coordinate daily with Strala's engineering and sales teams – translating client needs into engineering priorities and deployment context into deal strategy. - Partner with Sales on late-stage deals to shape scope and create paths to expansion. SF-based. We believe building together in person drives better outcomes. You will thrive if you - Like being in the room with demanding clients and bringing order to ambiguity - Can move seamlessly between technical detail and executive communication - Think in systems, not tasks - Have strong judgment, high standards, and real ownership - Want to build a function, not just operate inside one - Care about making every deployment excellent because every deployment changes how claims get handled in the real world ## Requirements - 2 to 5 years in roles combining technical depth, structured problem-solving, and client ownership - Exceptional communication and client presence - Strong structured thinking – you can break a complex implementation into a clear execution plan and drive it to completion - High agency and high slope - Likely backgrounds include: consulting / deployment / solutions / implementation in a high-performance environment; CS or similarly technical degree, software engineering internship or early engineering experience - Claims experience is irrelevant. You do need to be genuinely technical, highly structured, and strong with clients Values - Ambition: We want to win, and we need to be the best - Performance: Speed, system thinking, efficiency - Ownership: When we see a problem, we take ownership of it, and we solve it - Spirit: Clarity, optimism, meritocracy ## We Offer - Impact - Lead deployments at major insurers and Fortune 500s, improving a core workflow and directly growing ARR. - Build - Help write the playbook, standards, and operating rhythm that define how Strala scales. - Range - Combine technical depth, client ownership, and strategic problem-solving across every implementation. - AI at the frontier - Deploy an AI-native system into a massive, complex industry where the product is live and the stakes are real. - Team - Work in person in San Francisco with a fast, ambitious team that holds a very high bar. - Zero barriers - We support top performance with paying all meals and any tools that materially increase productivity. If you want to spend your career at the intersection of technology and client delivery - building things that work in the real world, not just on slides - we’d love to meet you. ## About Strala Group, Inc. ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Strala is an AI-native end-to-end third-party claims administrator (TPA) that combines artificial intelligence with seasoned claims professionals to deliver optimal outcomes for insurers, captives, and MGAs. - **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed Stage) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: Not publicly available - **Founders**: Timon Gregg (CEO) and Armando Schmid (CTO) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Insurance Technology (InsurTech) / Financial Services - Target customers: B2B — large insurers, captives, self-insured entities, and Managing General Agents (MGAs), with deep knowledge in auto, property, and general liability. - Mission or purpose statement: "Deliver optimal claims outcomes" by combining AI-native technology with seasoned claims professionals, acting as an integrated claims partner rather than a software vendor. ## Products & Services - **End-to-End TPA Platform**: A fully auditable, AI-powered system that handles the entire claims lifecycle from first notice of loss (FNOL) to resolution and subrogation. Includes AI FNOL intake, coverage verification, claims file set-up and triage, estimating, claims adjustment, resolution, subrogation and recovery, and QA/oversight. - **Subrogation & Recovery**: A proprietary subrogation model that identifies and pursues accounts with the highest chance of recovery at scale. - **Fraud Detection**: Real-time fraud detection and prevention integrated into the claims workflow. - **Real-Time Data Dashboard**: Provides carriers with live data visibility to set accurate reserves and predict future exposure. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Raised a Pre-Seed round on 2025-03-25 from 1 investor (investor name not publicly disclosed). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by "one of the best investors in the world" per the company's Built In profile; specific investor name not listed in public sources. - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 442.9% year-over-year (currently 22 employees); 7 active job postings; monthly job posting growth of +75.0%; expanding presence in Germany and Canada. ## Competitive Advantages - **AI-Native TPA Model**: Unlike traditional TPAs that bolt on technology, Strala is built from the ground up as an AI-native platform, giving it a data advantage that gets smarter with every claim. - **Deep Domain Expertise**: Leadership team includes seasoned claims professionals from carriers like Progressive and Travelers, combined with technologists from Palantir, DRW, Optiver, and top AI labs at Oxford, Berkeley, and Cambridge. - **Outcome-Based Partnership**: Positions itself as an integrated partner that "only wins when you do" — aligning incentives with clients rather than selling software. - **Full Visibility & Auditability**: Provides carriers complete transparency into every decision made during the claims process, a key trust factor in a regulated industry. ## Strategic Focus - Scaling the team and technology to handle more claims volume across auto, property, and general liability. - Expanding geographic presence (already in US, Germany, and Canada). - Deepening AI capabilities to further reduce cycle times, improve loss ratios, and strengthen underwriting and actuarial decisions for clients. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as outcome-driven with a focus on solving hard problems in a legacy industry. The team brings together "seasoned claims professionals, technologists, and researchers" who are building something the industry has never had. - **Work Policy**: In-office required. Offices located in San Francisco, CA (HQ) and New York, NY. - **Notable Perks/Engineering Culture**: Opportunity to work at the intersection of AI and insurance with a team from top-tier tech firms and AI labs.
