TL;DR: We are looking for an exceptionally strong thinker and executor to build the brand, content engine, and growth experiments that make Strala synonymous with AI in claims.

This is a special role for someone who is highly analytical and highly creative at the same time. You get to shape the core narrative of a category, run a high volume of experiments across content, events, brand, and sales enablement, and scale the things that actually move pipeline.

Background: Strala is automating claims and improving loss ratios for the world’s largest insurers. We are rebuilding the $280B foundation of the world's largest industry with applied AI.

In less than a year, we have reached multi-seven-figure ARR and ~50% MoM growth with zero dedicated growth headcount. In our first year we raised two rounds from Tier 1 funds led by the early partners in OpenAI, Cognition, and Ramp. Our lean team is a concentrated unit of top tier competitors: the top industry sales leaders, engineers from DRW, Optiver, AWS, and Palantir; AI researchers from Oxford and Cambridge labs publishing at ICML, ICCV, and NeurIPS; and multiple ICPC and Olympiad winners. We are now looking for a "creative-technical" force of nature to translate this technical density into an undeniable narrative for senior insurance buyers and build the engine that scales Strala from 7 to 9 figures.

In this role you will

  • Define Strala’s narrative - who we are, why we matter, why now, and why claims leaders should care. You will turn a strong business into an industry defining brand.

  • Write the highest-leverage assets in the company - case studies, blogs, sales enablement, landing pages, memos, and whatever else the market responds to.

  • Run data & intuition driven experimentations across content, brand, field marketing, and GTM. Launch fast, measure, kill weak ideas, and scale the few that break through.

  • Own event strategy end-to-end – from messaging and pre-event campaigns to on-site presence and post-event initiatives.

  • Build the materials that make our sales team more dangerous – sharper narratives, stronger proof points, better talk tracks and better leave-behinds.

  • Work from customer truth and pull insight from live deployments, customer calls, and market conversations, then turn that into assets people actually remember.

  • Build the growth playbook as you go. Channels, quality, editorial voice, testing framework, attribution logic – you are helping create the function, not just run it.

SF-based. We believe building together in person drives better outcomes.

You will thrive if you

  • Are an exceptional writer with deep understanding of information density, effectiveness and specific recipient profiles

  • Can make a “boring” category feel urgent, important, and intellectually alive – think what Ramp did for expense management

  • Think in narratives and systems, not isolated campaigns

  • Like running lots of experiments without becoming sloppy

  • Care about numbers and can distinguish signal from noise

  • Are highly structured and can turn fuzzy ideas into clear assets quickly

  • Want range – strategy, writing, brand, events, enablement, and growth all in one role

  • Are energized by building from zero

Requirements

  • High agency, strong organization, and high slope

  • You do not need traditional “marketing” credentials. You do need to be sharp, fast, structured, and unusually good on the page

  • Strong evidence of elite writing ability

  • Proven ability to create assets or campaigns that drove measurable commercial outcomes

  • Strong analytical instinct – you can pair taste with rigor

Values

  • Ambition: We want to win, and we need to be the best

  • Performance: Speed, system thinking, efficiency

  • Ownership: When we see a problem, we take ownership of it, and we solve it

  • Spirit: Clarity, optimism, meritocracy

We Offer

  • Impact – You are building the story that makes Strala the first name people think of when they think about claims outcomes

  • Build – There is no finished growth machine. You will help create it

  • Range – Narrative, writing, field, enablement, growth strategy, experimentation, and revenue impact in one role

  • Category creation – You are shaping how an AI-native company becomes trusted in one of the world’s most traditional industries

  • Career acceleration – This role can scale into Head of Growth, Brand, or a broader company-building leadership role as we grow

  • Team – Everyone on our team considers themselves the most competitive and intense person they have ever met

  • Zero barriers – We want the best people and will do what it takes, including relocation support, meals, and any tool that materially increases your output
