Treasury - Accounts Payable/Payroll Manager

About Ladder 

Ladder is life insurance built to be instant, simple, and smart. Life insurance is a fundamentally good product for families and communities. Unfortunately, the traditional life insurance process is unnecessarily burdensome, involving in-person meetings with agents, physical paperwork, and 6-8 weeks of waiting. This outdated process has resulted in a $16 trillion coverage gap in the United States.  We are a growing team of innovators going after this huge market by putting the user at the center of product design. We've combined a simple, online application with automatic, real-time underwriting to make instant decisions and provide on-the-spot coverage.
