Director of compliance

At Attune, we're changing small business insurance in a big way. Small business owners need insurance to protect their businesses, but when it comes time to get a policy, they’re bogged down by hundreds of questions, lots of paperwork, and a seemingly never-ending timeline stretching for weeks or months. We are changing all that. By using data and technology expertise to understand risk, automating legacy processes, and creating a better user experience for brokers, we’re able to provide policies that are more applicable and more transparent in just minutes. Simply put, we’re pushing insurance into the future, focusing on accuracy, speed, and ease.

Our mission and our team are growing. In staying true to our values, we’ve earned our spot on many workplace award lists. Attune is dedicated to creating a diverse team of curious, focused, and motivated people who are excited about changing the future of an entire industry.
