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.
The Finance Team is integral to Federato's mission, ensuring the financial health and sustainable growth necessary to support Federato’s long-term mission. In addition to overseeing the nuts and bolts of core finance and business operations, our team drives strategic initiatives to accelerate growth and operating efficiency. This team combines financial expertise with a forward-thinking vision.

- Partner cross-functionally with teams like Sales, Customer Success, and RevOps to proactively support contract structure, billing, and revenue processes with clarity and foresight.
- Identify opportunities to streamline finance workflows through tooling or AI-powered solutions, bringing a systems-minded approach to scale.
- Leverage and adapt financial systems such as QBO, Anrok, BILL, and others with openness to exploring new tools or building lightweight internal applications to reduce manual work and increase efficiency.
