ABOUT OUTMARKET

Outmarket is the AI platform for insurance, trusted by more than 250 brokerages to run the work their business depends on. Commercial insurance still runs on dense documents and slow, manual workflows, and that is exactly what we automate: quote comparisons, coverage gap and tower analysis, policy review, and proposal generation, all grounded in our customers’ own data and source-cited so teams can trust the output.

The impact is concrete. Teams save 12 to 15 hours per person every week, cut errors by roughly 65 percent, and win more business, all on infrastructure that is SOC 2 Type II certified, single-tenant, and never used to train AI models. We are an AI-first company in both what we build and how we work, shipping quickly and in close partnership with the agencies that rely on us.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• A high-impact role with ownership from day one.

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.

• Direct collaboration with founders and real users.

• Remote-first flexibility.

• The opportunity to help build an AI-native product from the ground up.
