VP of Finance

About this role

Authentic helps insurance brokers create better insurance products for their clients. We provide the technology platform and behind-the-scenes support that lets brokers build custom insurance solutions for specific industries or customer groups. Think of us as the operating system that powers these specialized insurance offerings. For brokers, this means they can offer unique products their competitors don't have, earn more money, and spend less time on paperwork and administrative tasks. We handle the complex (technology, compliance, and partnerships with highly-rated insurance carriers), so they can focus on serving their customers and growing their business.

We've partnered with leading carriers including Starr Companies, QBE, Ascot Group, and Everspan Group. We also work closely with top retail brokers such as Hub International, Alliant Insurance Services, Aon, Marsh, and others as we continue expanding the infrastructure and partnerships behind our programs.
