- Support employees through key lifecycle touchpoints including onboarding, 30/60/90-day check-ins, stay interviews, and offboarding
- Partner with the Director of HR to evolve and implement programs that strengthen culture, drive engagement, and promote retention
- Help refine and maintain policies, employee handbooks, and processes to ensure they reflect our company values and meet compliance standards

- Co-design and implement people programs that promote connection, recognition, and development
- Support company-wide change management initiatives, helping employees and managers adapt to new systems, structures, and processes with clarity and confidence
- Use data and insights to identify trends, recommend solutions, and inform decision-making
- Approach every improvement with curiosity, humility, and respect for what’s already working
Our take
With many real estate insurers relying on a generalized approach, homeowners and landlords often have to pick up the slack when it comes to complex and serious claims. Plus, insuring properties against rising costs in the US means many insurers simply won't cover a large portion of homes.
Honeycomb Insurance aims to remedy these real estate coverage issues using AI and computer vision to quantify insurance claim costs. It analyzes aerial photographs of building roofs and street-level shots to analyze quality and risk, thus removing the need for expensive physical inspections. This means the company can accurately underwrite risks in a fraction of the time, and deliver a better service to more consumers.
The value of its offerings is reflected in its expansion to 18 states, now covering over 60% of the US population and insuring more than $35B in assets. And substantial funding is fueling its growth into new insurance markets and accelerating its AI-powered technology, as the company continues to scale its impact in the commercial real estate insurance space.
