AI-native clearinghouse for insurance. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
As Axle's first People Operations hire, you'll build the people function end to end and be the connective tissue between our hiring ambitions and the team experience that makes people want to stay and do the best work of their careers. This is a full-stack recruiting mandate: you'll lead hiring across the entire company - both our technical org (Engineering and Product) and our go-to-market org (Sales, Partnerships, and Deployment) - so fluency operating across two very different talent markets is essential.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years across Talent/Recruiting and People/HR, with real depth in both
- Experience at a venture-backed startup (Seed through Series C) in a hyper-growth phase, where you've had to make trade-offs about priorities and resources
- A track record as a hands-on operator who has also built systems - equally comfortable closing a candidate and designing a comp band
- Deep recruiting instincts - you've filled diverse roles across both technical and go-to-market teams, and managed external recruiters to results
- Fluency with modern people tooling (ATS, HRIS) and a bias toward automation and AI - we run AI-first internally
- Exceptional judgment, discretion, and communication - this is a high-trust role with visibility into comp, strategy, and the founding team's priorities
More about this role
Axle is the AI-native clearinghouse for insurance. Our infrastructure and AI agents automate complex insurance workflows between carriers and third parties including insurance verification, monitoring, and policy updates.
The multi-trillion dollar insurance industry still relies on phone calls, paper forms, and outdated systems that are slow, error-prone, and easy to fake.
That's where Axle comes in. We bridge the gap between insurance and other industries through an AI-native clearinghouse for insurance, enabling our clients to make business decisions in seconds instead of hours while allowing consumers to unlock their most underutilized financial asset - insurance.
We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Google's AI fund Gradient Ventures, and angels from companies like Plaid and Cox Automotive.
Our team is in-person 4 days a week in our New York (Chelsea) office and 3 days a week in Atlanta.
