Powered by unique insights from GM’s connected technology, you’ll transform vehicle and driving insights into a seamless, connected user experience that rewards safer driving and simplifies every step—from quote to policy servicing to claims. 

You’ll collaborate across GM’s ecosystem of companies, build products and processes at the foundational phase of a rapidly scaling organization, and see your work land in the hands of real customers fast. It’s the kind of environment where curiosity and execution thrive together: experiment, iterate, and ship solutions that reduce the total cost of ownership while elevating confidence on the road. Most of all, you’ll contribute to a new enterprise business that’s creating tangible value for consumers nationwide — showing how insurance, when truly connected, can become a loyal companion to every GM journey.
