Head of Insurance at Brain Co.

Job description

Our Mission Rebuild how the world works, to make institutions work better for the people they serve. About Brain Co. Brain Co. builds AI-native operating systems for large, regulated institutions. Each system is built for a specific industry, powered by agents that push real workflows forward. Underneath it all is Atlas, our proprietary platform that keeps customers in control, secure by design, and never locked into one model. Why Now Brain Co. is entering its next phase of production deployments on a national scale with an elite team built from Palantir, Google, Meta, and Nvidia, and a growing footprint across government, insurance, health, and financial services. Joining now means shaping both the company and a new category of applied AI. Every project here ships to production and is expected to create measurable customer value and impact.

You understand how carriers operate across areas like underwriting, claims, actuarial, distribution, broker relationships, and carrier operations. • You bring active relationships with senior decision-makers at U.S. carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, or adjacent insurance institutions.
