Lead Customer Success Manager

Who we are  Our mission at Quandri is to transform insurance into a trusted and delightful experience using AI. We do this by delivering an AI operating system for North America’s best insurance agencies and brokerages.   What we do Quandri is transforming the insurance experience for policyholders across North America by providing AI to the industry’s critical stakeholders - insurance agencies and brokerages. Insurance agents are the lifeblood of the insurance industry, and are where most Property & Casualty insurance is sold and serviced. Yet, there are forces making it harder than ever for them to operate; more consolidation, rising talent crisis, increasing complexity of insurance and the AI revolution are significant challenges for how agencies have typically operated. This challenge is a massive opportunity to rethink how insurance agencies operate. Quandri is at the cutting edge of this change, delivering real transformation to the entire insurance experience one process at time through the deep understanding of insurance workflows, systems and data paired with deep technical capabilities and proprietary models. We’re making insurance better for policyholders, while helping insurance brokerages deliver a better client service, grow faster, and harness AI so that they control the future of insurance distribution.   Why join us?

We put the customer at the center of all we do. At a basic level, we believe business success comes down to talking to customers and building something they want. We don’t listen to customers and just take what they say blindly, but we think critically about it and build what they need. Customers are the core of everything we do, and our business exists to serve them. We prioritize their needs over all else within the company. Move with urgency. There are times when we need to move slowly and deliberately, but we default to acting fast and with urgency. We slow down when necessary, but this should be a deliberate choice. Businesses become more lethargic as they grow, this principle is designed to fight this fact. Be curious. We understand the world by being curious and asking why. We aren’t satisfied with surface level understanding, and seek a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. Don’t take someone’s word for it or the answer “because that’s how we do it.” Understand why and dig deep. Excellence in execution. We know that what separates good from great is a high level of execution. We commit ourselves to excellence in everything that we do, from delivering an amazing product to writing a great email. Act like an owner.  We’re all owners of the business and act like it. We follow through on commitments, own our results and think long-term. Fight for simplicity. The law of increasing functional information states that systems evolve to become more complex over time. At Quandri, we believe there is sophistication in simplicity; as such, we intentionally fight for streamlined solutions and are committed to the uncomplicated. AI-first. We believe AI is a fundamental shift in how work gets done, not just a tool we occasionally reach for. At Quandri, we lead with AI, in how we build our product, how we run our operations, and how we think about every process and workflow. This isn't about replacing people; it's about unlocking them to do higher-value work.   Compensation and Benefits: The OTE range for this role is $145,000 - $175,000, which is dependent on level of experience Employee stock options, granted based off experience level upon hire and subject to a standard vesting schedule Employee stock options based on experience level Comprehensive health benefits Four weeks of paid vacation per year Work anywhere in the world for 60 calendar days of the year Parental leave top-ups for Canadian Employees: 6 months for birthing parents, 8 weeks for non-birthing parents (up to $100,000 annual salary) Quandri is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
