Business Development Manager - East Coast

Who we are

Faye is the fastest-growing travel protection company in the U.S., and the highest-rated by travelers who use it trip after trip.

We’ve raised $100M to build the autonomous platform for traveler care: insurance, travel care, real-time information, and finance in one place, powered by AI and a team that moves fast.

We’re there for travelers throughout their entire journey, from the moment they book to the moment they’re back home.

The bar is a 6-star experience, 24/7: near-instant payouts, an award-winning app and real support when travel goes sideways. It’s hard to pull off. That’s the point.

Come build what’s next with us.
