We're not just a broker: we design, underwrite, price, and issue policies directly, with fewer handoffs and less friction. Insurance is the largest unautomated industry in financial services, and we're rebuilding it using AI. We've raised $374M from Kindred, TCV, and others at a $2.6B valuation to do so.

We're the carrier, not a broker and not an MGA fronting for someone else, so what you decide is what actually happens. The book is still small today – mostly P&amp;C, like general liability, participant liability, D&amp;O, and abuse &amp; misconduct, plus some smaller contingency and A&amp;H lines. We write it for national governing bodies (NGBs), professional teams, and events, and we want to grow it substantially from here.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">The ideal candidate can do all of this, not just price it or just write the wording, or has a strong base and is willing to learn quickly. You'll have a real say in pricing, policy design and wording, appetite, and risk selection. Our underwriting runs on an AI-native stack, which empowers our underwriters to have 10x more impact.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own risk selection, pricing, and appetite across NGBs, professional teams, and events.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Shape policy design and wording, not just the rate.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Codify your judgment into rating models, appetite rules, and referral logic.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Review referrals and complex risks, and feed every decision back into the system.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build and lead the sports underwriting team from the ground up as the book scales.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">4+ years underwriting sports, leisure, or entertainment risks at a carrier, MGA, or Lloyd's syndicate – this is a specialist seat, not a generalist one.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong P&amp;C fundamentals across liability lines.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Fluency in sports exposure: sanctioned events, club and NGB structures.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Well-rounded: credible on pricing, wordings, appetite, and risk selection.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Nice to Have</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Contingency or A&amp;H exposure alongside your P&amp;C book.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience building rating plans, appetite frameworks, or underwriting guidelines from scratch.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience hiring and leading underwriters.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Why Corgi</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Take an early-stage book to scale and own the team behind it.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Underwrite on our own paper – no fronting carrier's appetite to work around.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build the models and rules that underwrite every sports risk we write.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Work with us directly, not through layers of management.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.</p></li></ul><hr><p>Compensation: £100K – £200K • Offers Equity</p><ul><li> • £100K – £200K • Offers Equity</li></ul><p>Find <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk">Jobs in United Kingdom</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
