Requirements
  • 8+ years in marketing
  • You’ve built a marketing function before, not stepped into one that was already running
  • Strong generalist with real depth across brand, content, demand gen, and comms, not someone who’s good at one thing and calls themselves a generalist
  • A strong writer with a strong eye for design and quality, the kind of person who notices when something is off and cares enough to fix it
  • Comfortable working through ambiguity and figuring things out without waiting to be pointed in a direction
  • Genuinely understands community, because agents, homeowners, and partners are people with real relationships, not just segments in a CRM
  • Uses data to drive decisions, not to rationalize ones that were already made
Responsibilities
  • Own how Sola looks, sounds, and shows up across every touchpoint, and hold the line on quality when things get busy
  • You have a strong eye for what works and what doesn’t, and everything that goes out the door should reflect that
  • Lay the brand foundation that carries us into new markets and products without losing what makes Sola distinct
  • Our agents are how we grow, so build marketing programs that genuinely serve them and give them real reasons to champion Sola
  • Develop the assets, content, and enablement tools that make it easier for agents to sell and harder for them to leave
  • Get deep on the independent agent community: what they care about, where they spend their time, and what it takes to earn their trust
  • Own everything we publish: website, email, social, and blog, and hold the bar high
  • This role requires someone who can write, not just direct others who do
  • Build a PR presence that gets Sola into the conversations that matter.
  • Help our founders and team show up as credible, interesting voices in the future of home insurance
  • Build and run campaigns that grow our agent network and put Sola on homeowners’ radar
  • Own our paid, SEO, and social channels with a focus on getting real results out of a lean budget
  • Set up tracking and measurement that reflects what’s working, and be willing to cut what isn’t
  • Home insurance is complicated enough without us making it harder to understand, translate what we offer into messaging that clicks for both agents and homeowners
  • Work closely with product and sales to develop go-to-market strategies for new launches and market expansions
  • Stay sharp on the competitive landscape so that we’re never caught off guard
  • Establish how marketing works at Sola: the priorities, the metrics, the processes, and the longer-term vision for the team
  • As we grow, help define what roles we need and play an active part in hiring them
  • Get strong work out of outside vendors and freelancers without letting budgets balloon
  • Put the right systems in place so the team can move quickly without things falling through the cracks
Desired Qualifications
  • Have experience in a regulated industry where trust is the product
  • Have a track record of taking a company from Series A through B and beyond
  • Have managed a rebrand or major brand evolution
  • Spent meaningful time at early-stage startups somewhere in the seed through Series B range
  • Built trusted communities in the area you have marketed
  • Have a real point of view on where insurtech is going and can back it up

Sola Insurance provides tornado-damage coverage for property owners through the Tornado Crisis Policy, which covers up to $15,000 in out-of-pocket costs (such as deductibles) incurred due to tornado damage. The policy uses National Weather Service data to assess damage and determine eligibility and payout amounts, with payouts based on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale—the higher the EF level at a property, the higher the payout. Revenue comes from policy premiums. The company emphasizes fast, proactive payouts and a streamlined, transparent claims process. It differentiates itself by offering data-driven, EF-scale-based payouts that directly reduce clients’ deductible costs, addressing gaps left by traditional insurance. Its goal is to help clients recover faster after a disaster by providing clear financial protection and quick, predictable payments.

What believers are saying

  • $8M Series A funding in 2025 fuels expansion beyond tornadoes to wind and hail coverage.
  • Broker partnerships with Hanby, OKC, and Peoples drive distribution in Midwest and Southeast.
  • Originates from 2020 Chattanooga tornado gaps, positioning as Aflac-like supplemental plan.

What critics are saying

  • Payout discrepancies between NAIC $2,000-$15,000 and site $5,000-$25,000 spark lawsuits in 3-6 months.
  • Canopy Weather's parametric wind/hail product captures market share in 12-18 months.
  • NWS 2025 Oklahoma misratings delay payouts, draining cash reserves in 6-12 months.

What makes Sola Insurance unique

  • Sola's Tornado Crisis Policy covers up to $25,000 out-of-pocket costs using NWS EF-scale data.
  • Proactive NWS-triggered contacts enable payouts within 3-5 days without claims history impact.
  • First admitted parametric tornado insurance via Beazley and Spinnaker partnerships in 15 states.
