Director, Communications

ABOUT BESTOW 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.

ABOUT THE ROLE 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 WHAT YOU'LL DO - Lead Bestow's communications function, managing agency partners to execute with scale and quality across corporate communications. - Own the narrative — developing and evolving the story Bestow tells to drive category leadership and shift how the market thinks about legacy insurance infrastructure. - Build and execute a corporate communications strategy that earns Bestow credibility with enterprise buyers, press, and industry influencers. - Lead media relations with skill and intentionality — building relationships with key journalists and outlets, driving earned coverage, and ensuring Bestow is part of the conversations that matter. - Partner with Product Marketing to amplify major product moments — ensuring significant releases and platform milestones show up in the market with the weight they deserve. - Build and execute a thought leadership program that elevates Bestow's executives as credible, distinctive voices in the insurance and insurtech space. - Work closely with executives to develop strategic communications platforms — helping leaders show up with clarity, consistency, and impact across speaking, media, and written channels. - Own analyst relations — ensuring Bestow is accurately represented and well-positioned in the reports buyers consult during due diligence. - Partner with Product Marketing and Integrated Marketing to ensure communications amplifies and extends the broader market narrative. - Build reporting and measurement frameworks that connect communications activity to business outcomes.
