VP, Insurance Markets

This role is under Aiden Risk and not Edge. About Aiden Risk Aiden Risk is the first AI-native commercial insurance brokerage — not a software layer on top of a traditional agency, but a fundamentally new operating model where AI handles submissions, renewals, endorsements, COIs, and coverage analysis at near-zero marginal cost. Insurance is a $500B industry still running on the same playbook it used in 1980. We’re here to change that — and we’re looking for a senior insurance operator who is ready to be part of something that has never existed before. Our thesis: the traditional human broker in the buyer-agent-underwriter transaction can be replaced by AI — delivering faster, more accurate, and dramatically cheaper service across every commercial line. We are backed by experienced operators, actively acquiring agencies, and building the infrastructure to serve complex commercial clients at unlimited scale. The future of insurance isn’t sold. It’s computed. About the Role Open every market we need to serve complex commercial clients across every vertical, and pour your knowledge directly into the AI models that will do this work at scale. This is not a back‑office role. This is a foundational hire. What You’ll Own Carrier & Market Access Build and own Aiden Risk’s carrier, MGA, and wholesale broker relationships across admitted and E&S markets Negotiate and secure appointments, program access, and delegated authority arrangements as we scale Develop our surplus lines strategy — identifying the right wholesale partners, MGAs, and program administrators for complex commercial placements across all verticals Represent Aiden Risk in carrier conversations, positioning our AI-native model as a distribution advantage, not a compliance risk Own carrier appetite knowledge across commercial lines — BOP, GL, property, inland marine, professional liability, cyber, management liability, transportation, construction, and beyond Work directly with our CTO (former Netflix/Google AI engineer) to translate your underwriting knowledge into the training data, decision logic, and coverage frameworks that power our Expertise Engine Define what “right” looks like for submissions, coverage recommendations, appetite matching, and risk assessment — so our AI can replicate and scale it Review and validate AI outputs against real‑world underwriting standards; close the gap between what the model produces and what a senior underwriter would actually do Help build the carrier appetite and submission quality frameworks that make our Market Correlation Engine accurate across every commercial line Who You Are 7+ years in commercial P&C insurance, with deep hands‑on experience across multiple lines — not just one specialty Significant time at an MGA, program administrator, or wholesale brokerage — you understand how the E&S and specialty markets actually work, not just the admitted side You’ve negotiated directly with carriers — you know what it takes to get appointments, build programs, and earn delegated authority You have real underwriting judgment across complex commercial risks — you’ve seen the submissions that don’t fit the box and know how to place them You’re genuinely excited about AI — not threatened by it. You see it as the thing that finally lets your expertise scale beyond what one person or one team can do You can translate domain knowledge into structured logic — you’re able to explain not just what you’d do but why, in a way an engineer can build from California-based strongly preferred; open to remote for the right candidate Why This Role Is Different Most VP-level insurance roles ask you to manage what already exists. This one asks you to build what doesn’t exist yet — a carrier access infrastructure and an AI knowledge base that together let a small team place any commercial risk in the country. Your knowledge doesn’t retire with you here. It gets encoded into a system that serves thousands of clients long after you’ve built it. What We Offer Competitive base salary commensurate with experience Meaningful equity stake Full benefits Aiden Risk is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse backgrounds, unconventional paths, and people who’ve spent 20 years becoming the best in the room at something most people don’t fully understand. #J-18808-Ljbffr Edge
