Life insurance is one of the world's most important products. It's also one of the hardest to build, distribute, and modernize. Bestow exists to change that.
Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. Our platform unifies the fragmented, legacy value chain, enabling carriers to launch products in weeks instead of years. Carriers choose us to scale and operate at unprecedented speed, powered by AI and automation.
Bestow isn't selling policies. We're building the infrastructure that helps an entire industry move faster, reach more people, and deliver on its promise.
Backed by leading investors (Goldman Sachs, Hedosophia, NEA, Valar, 8VC) and trusted by major carriers, Bestow is powered by a team that moves with precision, purpose, and heart. If you want to help reimagine a centuries-old industry with lasting impact, join us.
Bestow offers flexible remote/hybrid work, meaningful benefits, equity, and substantial growth opportunities.

Bestow is transforming one of the largest, most consequential industries in the world — and most people don't know it yet. That's the opportunity.
The Director of Communications owns the work of changing that. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a storyteller who thrives at the intersection of technology, business, and culture — someone who can take a complex, technical platform and make the market not just understand it, but believe in it. You'll shape how Bestow is perceived by the press, analysts, executives, and influencers who define what the industry pays attention to.
This isn't a maintenance role. It's a category leadership role. You'll work alongside agency partners and Bestow's executive team to build a communications presence that punches well above its weight — the kind that makes people take notice and wonder why they haven't been paying attention sooner.
This role reports to the CMO and is open to hybrid in our Dallas office or Remote (US). #LIRemote

Build reporting and measurement frameworks that connect communications activity to business outcomes.

A track record of driving category leadership or market repositioning — you've helped a company shift how an industry thinks about a problem.
Analyst relations experience is strongly preferred — you've worked with Gartner, Forrester, or comparable firms.
Both agency and in-house experience preferred — you understand how to get the best out of agency partners because you've been on both sides.
