About Newfront
What is Newfront?
Newfront is a San Francisco-based insurance brokerage rebuilding the industry around modern technology. Founded in 2017, the company is, in its own words, "transforming the risk management, business insurance, total rewards, and retirement services space through the combination of elite expertise and cutting-edge technology" — and today ranks as "a San Francisco-based, top-40 U.S. broker" with 650+ team members. Its mission is people-first: "On a Mission to De-Risk Human Progress." In January 2026, Newfront officially joined WTW (Willis Towers Watson), pairing its technology-native broking model with WTW's global advisory platform while continuing to operate under the Newfront name. Internally, teams are even building agentic AI to "invisibly handle the routine insurance work that consumes 80% of brokers' time, freeing them to focus on high-stakes strategy."
Where will I work?
Newfront is built for flexibility. The company "embraces a flexible work environment and supports employees working remotely, hybrid, or in-office," and says "flexible PTO offerings and remote/hybrid schedules allow you to flex where and how your time is spent." Most roles are US-remote, with hybrid options anchored to offices in cities including San Mateo, Chicago and Fresno. Headquarters remains San Francisco.
What is the Newfront team like?
Newfront describes a "collaborative working environment where we are encouraged to show up authentically," guided by four values: Focus on People, Blaze a Trail, Act like Owners and Deliver Results. Teams are "technology-driven, fast-paced, and supportive," with a "Work, Love, Play" ethos and a culture the company calls "growth-minded" and inclusive. Expect small, specialized teams that embed directly with the business.
Work-Life Balance
Flexibility is central to how Newfront supports its people. On top of remote and hybrid schedules, the company offers flexible PTO and points to "resources like our employee assistance program and company work-life balance program [to] support your peace of mind." Roles also carry paid time off including vacation, sick time and parental leave.
Perks and Benefits
Newfront offers "an attractive mix of medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your family," plus an employee assistance program for mental wellbeing. For the future, employees "prepare for tomorrow with company equity, 401K match, and family forming benefits" — and notably, "everyone at Newfront receives equity." Job postings confirm total compensation typically includes a bonus and restricted stock units, alongside career growth through "training, mentorship, industry engagement, and other forms of career advancement."
