Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all. We enable insurers to provide affordable coverage to people and organizations facing the issues of today - the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, social inflation, etc. Our vision is understood and well funded by those behind Salesforce, Veeva, Zoom, Box, etc.
Federato is the only AI-native platform that spans the full policy lifecycle and changes the way insurance work gets done. Better decisioning is built-in, not bolted on: insurers' unique portfolio goals, strategies, rules, and appetite are part of the workflow so underwriters win the right deals, faster. From the moment a submission hits an underwriter’s inbox, AI is put to work, triaging submissions with a focus on high-appetite business, delivering real-time feedback on the portfolio, and consolidating workflows into a single proven system. Federato drives better business outcomes.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Help define and evolve the operational direction of our implementation model as product and customer patterns evolve.
- Serve as an escalation and resolution point for your leaders and book of business.
- Directly manage Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and Technical Program Managers (TPMs), coaching performance, delegation, and conflict resolution while developing the next generation of delivery leadership.
- Ensure clarity of ownership across pods, strengthen onboarding and enablement for FDE leaders, and create structure that enables managers and engineers to operate independently.
- Build for current and future state profiles, partnering on headcount planning and resourcing tradeoffs while balancing customer commitments with sustainable capacity.
- Tie delivery performance to utilization and renewal readiness, using data to inform tradeoffs and improve decision quality.
- Act as connective tissue across GTM, Product, and Engineering, translating field patterns into actionable insights, and aligning delivery narratives with executive stakeholders.
Who We Hope You Are:
- B.S. in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience. You should be able to hold your own in a deep-dive technical design session regarding SaaS architecture, APIs, and data models.
- 6+ years of professional experience, with at least 1–2 years in a formal leadership or "player-coach" capacity within a SaaS delivery or FDE environment.
- Familiarity with the complexities of B2B SaaS implementations. Experience in fintech, insurance, or underwriting software is a significant plus, given the high stakes of data accuracy and compliance.
- Proven ability to lead high-stakes customer calls and set the tone in the room. You can translate complex technical risks into clear business outcomes for both internal and external executives.
- Comfortable with SQL and Javascript (as utilized in our implementation layer) to audit team output and shadow the FDEs as needed
- You don’t just identify blockers; you navigate around them. You have a track record of establishing strong working relationships across multi-disciplinary teams (Sales, CS, Product, and Core Eng).
$200,000 - $230,000 a year
