About Corgi

\n

\n

Corgi is building the next generation of financial institutions. We’re rethinking how insurance, financial products, and other complex financial services are built and operated from the ground up.

\n

\n

Corgi is a licensed insurance carrier with several property and casualty (P&C) lines of business, and we are expanding into additional lines. We’re building modern insurance products and operating systems from the ground up, combining deep insurance expertise with technology to make insurance work better.

\n

\n

We move quickly, work across disciplines, and expect people to take meaningful ownership from day one. Our teams are small, ambitious, and highly execution-oriented.

\n

\n

About the Role

Inland Marine encompasses a broad range of specialized commercial exposures. We are looking for someone who understands the underlying risks and is eager to improve how the book is evaluated and managed.

\n

\n

You will help determine our appetite, build underwriting guidelines, evaluate complex risks, establish pricing and terms, and develop a scalable approach to underwriting specialized commercial property and transportation-related exposures.
