The Delivery Lead Role
Send Technology is a rapidly growing InsurTech SaaS company specializing in the commercial and specialty insurance sector. Our mission is to help underwriters "write better business faster" on a global scale. We achieve this through our AI-enabled underwriting platform, specifically designed for the complexities of the commercial and specialty market. Our workbench serves as a one-stop desktop for underwriters, bringing together data, documentation, and decision points, enabling our customers to harness the power of ecosystem integrations, data, and AI to drive their growth.

Your role will also involve building partnerships with system integrators and enhancing our delivery capabilities through strategic planning and hands-on management.
About Send
In 2017, the three founders of Send (Andy Moss, Ben Huckel, and Matt McGrillis) had a vision to reshape and enhance the underwriting processes of commercial insurers by fusing advanced technology and deep expertise.
  • In 2019, Send delivered a commercial and specialty Underwriting Workbench for a leading global insurer (a major FTSE 100 carrier, one of the UK's top five composite insurers) - streamlining operations, driving efficiencies, and providing forward visibility.
  • Over the next five years, we implemented multiple Underwriting Workbench solutions in both the UK and US markets.
  • In 2022, Send won three awards for the Underwriting Workbench and announced a $10m Series A funding raise to expand in the UK and US.
  • In 2023, Send launched 'Smart Submission,' a stand-alone component of the Underwriting Workbench, to help insurers tackle submission chaos.
  • In 2023, Send was named a "Leader" in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide P&C Intelligent Underwriting Workbench Applications 2023 Vendor Assessment. Send's financial stabilityand growth were noted as key strengths.
  • In 2024, Send was named a "Top Provider" in the Datos P&C Workbench report and a "Leader" in the Celent Underwriting Workbench reports in both North America and Global Markets. We also won IBUK's 2024 Top Insurance Employers award.
We have a growing pipeline of opportunities in multiple geographies and report year-on-year growth. Our vision is to be the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile carriers.
Our Funding
From 2017 to 2022, we bootstrapped our growth journey, transforming into a profitable and stable company. In November 2022, after a year of customer and team growth, we successfully secured $10m in Series A funding to accelerate our expansion in the UK and US and further develop our product. We enjoy the support and expertise of our investors, Mercia and Breega.
We are currently preparing for our Series B funding round and look forward to the growth acceleration this will facilitate.
