Vantage started at the end of 2020 with a fully remote workforce. Over the past two and a half years we have established dedicated office space in a few locations and have leveraged flexible space to provide opportunities for our colleagues to come together in person to collaborate and work together. On a weekly basis we have two standing meetings that focus on bringing colleagues together and bridging the virtual gap. We hold an all colleague meeting every Monday for 45 minutes with recurring topics including a CEO update, introduction of new hires (who share a fun fact), colleague shout outs and updates on key initiatives. On Friday at 11am ET, we participate in Vantage Connect, a random matching of colleagues at all levels in pairs to hold a brief (15-20)-minute video chat focused on getting to know each other. We also develop an annual operational plan across the organization with key initiatives and look for individuals across the organization to lead and participate in those teams. In addition, we have working groups led by colleagues on topics such as DE&I, ESG, Engagement and Wellness.
We are a new company focused on building for the future. We are not transforming a company or a culture we are creating from scratch.

Our vision is See Risk Differently: Our team of trusted experts provides a fresh perspective on our clients’ risks. Designed for the future, we add creativity to tech-enabled efficiency and robust analytics to address risks others avoid.
We are seeking individuals who want to join a company they will help shape and define. Talent is one of the three pillars of our strategy that include People, Technology, Data and Analytics, and our Culture of Creativity & Curiosity.
Vantage has strong financial backing with support from two Private Equity shareholders and has been very well received in the marketplace.
We have proven our ability to quickly pivot as needed to meet the demands of an ever-changing macro environment.
Encouraging a two-way dialogue with our colleagues at all levels. We leverage a number of vehicles to achieve this purpose including:
– Our all colleague weekly call always has an opportunity for questions, suggestions and recognition
– Our Senior Executive Team hold regular small group roundtable discussions with 12-15 colleagues to allow for input, questions and sharing of what is happening across the organization
– When we have asked for colleague feedback in pulse survey or larger surveys we share the results either real time or in a timely fashion very transparently and look for suggestions on areas to improve and continue
Our annual performance enablement process includes a discussion on individual development aspirations and an opportunity to define key learnings, roles, or projects people could get involved in to progress against their goals.
We leverage LinkedIn learning as a platform with over 10,000 courses available for individuals to learn on demand on a variety of topics.
We support continuing education credit programs and provide financial support and incentives for fields of advancement such as actuarial exams.
Our values were developed with input from our colleagues and focused on the individual behaviors believed to be core to who we wanted to be as a Company. The Values are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis.
– Do What’s Right – Be a force for good, for our customers, shareholders, colleagues, industry and communities
– We’re Better Together – Collaborate, be inclusive, supportive, respectful and humble, be a trusted partner internally and externally
– Be Relentlessly Curious – Ask questions, challenge the status quo, look for ways to say YES, drive innovation, be opportunistic and disciplined
– Make A Difference – Focus on impact, embrace technology, leverage data and analytics as critical assets, act intentionally to deliver on our mission
– Be Transparent – in who you are, what you think, and how you work, seek and provide alternative points of view, be true to yourself
Hybrid working environment – largely remote. Individuals work with their leaders on when they may get together in person. There is no mandate on being in an office location.
Opportunities to come together – we have had an all colleague in person meeting which individuals really enjoyed and have asked for on a recurring basis.
Being present and transparent across our organization. Greg speaks to the entire organization every week and shares three things that are on his mind or are important for the week ahead. He recognizes and celebrates innovation and thinking differently. He connects directly with colleagues at all levels through Vantage Connect and roundtables. He is a trusted partner internally and externally and well respected by our shareholders and the industry.
Aside from our base salary and annual cash bonus compensation elements at all levels, for anyone who joined the company in the first year we awarded stock options as a gesture of gratitude that they came on this new journey with us in the very beginning.
