About Thatch

For most people, health insurance is something that happens to them: a plan chosen by someone else, with little room to fit their life. Thatch is changing that. We help companies give every employee a real healthcare budget instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, so people can choose the coverage and care that works for them, and employers get predictable costs they can control.

It’s a simple idea, but making it real means solving hard problems across healthcare, payments, and technology, and we’re just getting started. We look for people who like solving complex problems, use good judgment, and are comfortable working through ambiguity. People here care deeply about our customers, take real responsibility for what gets built, and are driven by doing work that matters.

Who Thrives in This Role

You're a builder. You want to create an enterprise business, not simply inherit a territory and established playbook.

You understand healthcare. You know how employers, consultants, carriers, and administrators interact, and you're comfortable discussing the economics of self-funded healthcare.

You can sell directly and through partners. You value consulting relationships but know how to create demand and develop executive relationships independently.

You can sell change. You're comfortable challenging conventional thinking and guiding sophisticated employers through consequential healthcare decisions.

You operate at the executive level. You can engage a CFO on healthcare economics, a CHRO on workforce strategy, and a consultant on benefits design.

You have an ownership mentality. You're resourceful, accountable, and energized by building something new.

You want to grow. You're motivated by individual success today and the opportunity to help build and potentially lead a national enterprise sales team tomorrow.

Why Thatch

Enterprise healthcare is at an inflection point. Employers are looking for alternatives to traditional approaches that have delivered rising costs, limited flexibility, and increasingly complex benefits experiences. 

Thatch is positioned to help lead that transformation.

You'll have the opportunity to work directly with our founders and executive team, shape our national enterprise strategy, influence product development, and help build a business with significant growth potential.

We're looking for someone who wants to win meaningful enterprise business today and help build the organization that will define our growth tomorrow.
