GTM: NEW VERTICALS LEAD Harper is an AI-native commercial insurance company in San Francisco. We're not bolting AI onto insurance — we're rebuilding the entire business as software, on a simple bet: turning expert human judgment into compute is one of the largest transitions left to make, and a trillion-dollar industry still run 90% by hand is the place to prove it. We've grown ~100x in the last year and we move at that speed — on-site, in person, long days, very high standards. Almost no one joins Harper for insurance; they join to build the company that replaces how it works. THE ROLE Harper has shown it can take a small-business owner and turn them into a covered customer — at scale, with AI doing a ton of the work behind the human who closes. That motion works. This role takes it into territory we haven't entered yet. A "vertical" is a new kind of business for Harper to insure. Sometimes it's something we already touch and have started to see early signals in. More often it's somewhere we don't operate yet and want to explore. The world keeps creating new ones — a trend shows up in the news, a new kind of company starts scaling, an industry shifts or appears that didn't exist a few years ago — and someone has to decide whether and how Harper should cover it. That someone is you. This is the explorer's seat. You'll spend your time in unexplored territory: reading where the world is heading, finding where demand is forming before it's obvious, pressure-testing whether Harper can serve a new market well, and turning a faint signal into a real, repeatable business. The path is messy on purpose — there's no map for a market no one has built yet, and a lot of the job is making good decisions with incomplete information. Winning looks like taking something from its first five customers all the way to thousands, then handing it off and going to find the next frontier. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Find the next vertical.
