Job Description
Who We Are
Groundspeed Analytics (“Groundspeed”) is one of the fastest growing InsurTech companies globally. Driven by innovative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, Groundspeed is disrupting the $300 billion commercial insurance industry. Our clients include top insurance carriers and brokers such as Travelers, Aon, Liberty Mutual and others. The insurance industry sits on massive amounts of unstructured data, and the lack of access and utilization of this data creates a barrier to revenue growth and expense reduction. Groundspeed helps the industry by unlocking the value in their unstructured data. Whether it is automating processes and/or providing insights derived from machine learning, Groundspeed is helping companies maximize their business opportunities. Groundspeed is recognized by industry analysts as a leader and was recently named to the 250 Top FinTech startups in 2020 by CB Insights and the Insurtech Hot 100. Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Groundspeed’s team is distributed across more than 10 locations in the US, including San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, and Denver.
Groundspeed is excited to announce the close of our Series-C investment round with returning investor Oak HC/FT and Insight Partners!
About the Role
We are looking for a strategic “hands-on” professional to be our first Head of Marketing. The ideal leader should have meaningful experience with demand generation, account-based marketing, product marketing and positioning, and brand building. Reporting to the Chief Revenue Officer, you will drive the overall marketing strategy and contribute to company revenue goals while partnering with teams across the company including Product, Engineering, and Operations. What You'll Do
Groundspeed is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
