More about this role

We're looking for a Head of Strategic Alliances to build and own the external relationships that shape where Lemonade goes next.

Reporting directly into C-suite you'll work across the business — product, growth, insurance, claims, legal with a global lens identifying opportunities that matter to propel Lemonade forward. Some of that will look like distribution, products, technology, or category entry. The mix will shift, and we're looking for someone who's comfortable with that.

We believe two things matter for every leadership role at Lemonade: leadership that sets the bar for excellence, builds high performing teams, and holds them accountable, and strategy that thinks several years ahead and turns ambitious plans into reality. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.
