SafeLease is an insurance technology company that specializes in commercial real estate.
We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper.

We’re looking for a well-organized and steadfast problem solver who loves to learn and grow in their craft.
