That should excite you, not intimidate you. • Support stakeholder alignment across multiple open roles and competing priorities simultaneously People Operations (approx. 20%) This isn't busywork.

You follow through, you close loops, and you treat your requisitions like a business you run • Strong stakeholder manager who can hold a hiring manager accountable while keeping the relationship intact • Analytically minded. You don't just keep the ATS clean; you use pipeline data to diagnose problems, spot patterns, and make the case for changing course. You treat your req load like a portfolio and know your conversion rates. • Excellent communicator, clear in writing and in conversation • Excited about the career trajectory here: you'll learn the full People function, not just recruiting, and have a seat at the table on how we build teams as we scale. • An AI power-user, or eager to become one. You already use AI tools in your sourcing, screening, or workflow automation, or you're the kind of person who will figure it out in week one. We'll give you the tools and the freedom. • Genuinely people-oriented. You remember candidate names, you follow up when you say you will, and you lose sleep over a bad candidate experience. Recruiting is a people business first. What we do Quandri is transforming the insurance experience for policyholders across North America by providing AI to the industry’s critical stakeholders - insurance agencies and brokerages. Insurance agents are the lifeblood of the insurance industry, and are where most Property & Casualty insurance is sold and serviced. Yet, there are forces making it harder than ever for them to operate; more consolidation, rising talent crisis, increasing complexity of insurance and the AI revolution are significant challenges for how agencies have typically operated. This challenge is a massive opportunity to rethink how insurance agencies operate. Quandri is at the cutting edge of this change, delivering real transformation to the entire insurance experience one process at time through the deep understanding of insurance workflows, systems and data paired with deep technical capabilities and proprietary models. We’re making insurance better for policyholders, while helping insurance brokerages deliver a better client service, grow faster, and harness AI so that they control the future of insurance distribution.

Our guiding principles: • Customers at the core. We put the customer at the center of all we do. At a basic level, we believe business success comes down to talking to customers and building something they want. We don’t listen to customers and just take what they say blindly, but we think critically about it and build what they need. Customers are the core of everything we do, and our business exists to serve them. We prioritize their needs over all else within the company. • Move with urgency. There are times when we need to move slowly and deliberately, but we default to acting fast and with urgency. We slow down when necessary, but this should be a deliberate choice. Businesses become more lethargic as they grow, this principle is designed to fight this fact. • Be curious. We understand the world by being curious and asking why. We aren’t satisfied with surface level understanding, and seek a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. Don’t take someone’s word for it or the answer “because that’s how we do it.” Understand why and dig deep. • Excellence in execution. We know that what separates good from great is a high level of execution. We commit ourselves to excellence in everything that we do, from delivering an amazing product to writing a great email. • Act like an owner. We’re all owners of the business and act like it. We follow through on commitments, own our results and think long-term. • Fight for simplicity. The law of increasing functional information states that systems evolve to become more complex over time. At Quandri, we believe there is sophistication in simplicity; as such, we intentionally fight for streamlined solutions and are committed to the uncomplicated. Compensation and Benefits: • The range for base pay is $100,000 - $120,000 which is dependent on level of experience • Employee stock options based on experience level • Comprehensive health benefits, including $500 Lifestyle Spending Account • Four weeks of paid vacation per year • Work anywhere in the world for 60 calendar days of the year • Parental leave top-ups: 6 months for birthing parents, 8 weeks for non-birthing parents (up to $100,000 annual salary) Quandri is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
