Business Analyst - Remote

About Us

Fieldtech is building the new operating system for financial representatives selling insurance. We replace the existing complex web of 4-7 technical solutions with a cohesive, process-oriented platform that automates manual workflows and empowers team members to focus on what they do best. We are at the beginning of our journey in reinventing the Operating System that drives $50B+ of annual revenue and in doing so, bringing insurance services into the 21st century to help bolster financial security for the nearly 40M US households who don’t have sufficient coverage to thrive in times of hardship.

What’s the opportunity?
