About Stand:

Stand is the modern climate insurance company — built for the world we’re living in now, not the one we grew up in. We work directly with homeowners and brokers to protect homes against climate-intensified risks, starting with wildfire and expanding quickly.

How to apply: Interested applicants can email Dan Kahn (dankahn@standinsurance.com) sharing their resume and a short blurb about their interest in the position.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to take on some of the company’s most important cross-functional initiatives — from market expansion to rapid pilots that shape how we scale. You’ll work directly with senior leadership to drive execution, structure operations, and accelerate growth. This role sits at the center of strategy and execution: perfect for someone who thrives on building, loves owning special projects end-to-end, and wants to grow into a leadership position in a company that’s moving fast.

In your first year, you'll help Stand launch into our second state, run test-and-learn pilots to accelerate broker and customer conversion, and stand up systems that become the backbone of how we scale.

Core Responsibilities:

This is a role for a high-agency generalist with strong instincts for operations, experimentation, and execution. You’ll:

• Lead state expansion initiatives — driving planning, coordination, and execution across teams to enter new markets

• Own and deliver high-impact, cross-functional special projects — from go-to-market tests to internal tool builds to net-new workflows

• Design and run pilots that test how we grow faster — from broker enablement to customer conversion improvements

• Improve the customer journey — helping us map broker and homeowner experiences, reduce friction, and turn more quotes into binds

• Analyze sales and ops data to generate insight, prioritize opportunities, and inform decisions

• Build internal infrastructure — including workflow automation, playbooks, and foundations for service, onboarding, and future GTM functions

• Act as connective tissue across teams — partnering closely with leadership, underwriting, product, and engineering to drive aligned execution

Ideal Background:

• At least 6–10 years of experience across high-growth startups, top-tier consulting, investing, and/or operational roles

• You’ve led high-stakes, high-pressure special projects — from zero-to-one builds to rapid-response initiatives — and know how to deliver when the stakes are high and the timelines are tight

• You have strong ownership instincts and a track record of delivering cross-functional outcomes

• You bring structure to chaos and love turning open-ended problems into shipped outcomes

• You communicate clearly, write crisply, and follow through reliably

• You like operating in fast-moving environments with high trust and high expectations

• You’re excited to grow into a defined leadership role as the company scales — in operations, growth, or a path you help shape

Details:

• Full-time, based in San Francisco

• You’ll work directly with Stand’s CEO, CPO, and Head of Commercial & Operations

• This is a strong-fit role for someone who wants to grow into leadership by building real things early — with support, visibility, and trust from senior leaders
