    Description
    Full Time | This is a Remote Opportunity
    Amplify helps people build wealth through life insurance.

    It's the first digital platform that offers life insurance investment products where customers can invest, and access tax-free returns through their life insurance for anything they wish.

    Amplify's not only transforming an age-old insurance industry, but bridging the gap between life insurance and wealth management.
    Previously, life insurance wealth policies were used by the wealthiest 1%.

    Now, with Amplify's innovative digital platform and team of experts, they are providing everyone with the ability to access tax efficient wealth and protection.

    Emerging from the manual and agent-driven traditional industry, Amplify offers an intelligent customer journey with frictionless policy customization, pre-underwriting, and in-force policy management in a streamlined digital customer journey.

    Amplify is the first digital platform tackling the existing $70B permanent life insurance industry and bringing it to a $4T market with a vision to launch a life insurance product that bridges health and financial wealth.

    Founded in 2019 by industry veterans, Amplify launched its digital platform in 2020.

    With the backing of leading venture capital investors including Greycroft and Crosslink Capital, Amplify has achieved exceptional growth of over 400% YoY and have helped over 1,000 customers to date.

    Achieving the firm's goal starts with building a strong, mission-driven, and impactful team at Amplify. The company strives to cultivate an environment of inclusiveness, support, collaboration, ownership, and growth opportunities. Amplify believes in building leaders so that together you can lead the future of the industry.
