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.

Our current client profile spans the insurance industry space from Tier 1 Carriers ($10B+) to Mutuals to start-up MGAs and everywhere in between, all with minimum six-figure ACV. Our prospect pipeline reflects that same breadth. We are looking for a process-oriented self-starter that understands adaptability in a hyper growth company and thrives in a high-touch, high-value sales environment. Above all, we are seeking an empathic and creative individual who wants to make an impact on the industry to join us on this journey. This role will target Germany, Switzerland, Austria, etc.

  • Lead value-based discovery and solution positioning aligned to customer business outcomes.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, SDRs, Solutions Engineering, Legal, and Customer Success to drive deal progression.

View company profile

Federato's journey began in 2020, born from a vision to revolutionize the insurance industry. Founded by Will Ross and William Steenbergen, the company recognized the challenges faced by underwriters in an increasingly complex and volatile risk landscape. Traditional methods were struggling to keep pace with emerging threats like the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, and social inflation, often leaving underserved communities and organizations without access to efficient and equitable insurance coverage. The founders saw an opportunity to leverage cutting-edge technology to empower insurers and, in turn, protect more people and businesses.

What started as an idea to apply AI and machine learning to underwriting quickly evolved into the development of a category-defining 'RiskOps' platform. This platform was meticulously designed by underwriters, for underwriters, with a core philosophy of putting them back in control. Federato's approach was not just about automation, but about augmenting human expertise with powerful data-driven insights. The team dedicated significant time, including over 1250 hours in direct consultation with underwriters, to understand their pain points and build a solution that truly addressed their needs. This collaborative spirit and focus on real-world applicability became a cornerstone of Federato's development. The company's mission crystallized: to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all by enabling insurers to provide affordable coverage through smarter risk selection and portfolio optimization. This commitment has attracted significant backing from prominent venture capital firms who share Federato's vision for a more resilient and inclusive insurance future.
