VP, Federal Government Affairs

Full Time | In-House / Remote / Hybrid (Washington, DC preferred) About Corgi Our goal is to rebuild the $1T+ insurance industry from the ground up using AI. We're not just building a company; we're building infrastructure for the next hundred years. We're well-funded, backed by top investors, and operating with the seriousness this industry requires. About the Role As VP, Federal Government Affairs , you'll build and own Corgi's federal function from the ground up, defining how we show up in Washington as AI rewrites the rules of insurance. You'll report directly to the SVP, Head of Government Affairs & Deputy General Counsel, with the runway, resources, and seniority to do the job right. This is a true executive seat, not a monitoring role. Insurance has always been state-regulated, but the federal footprint is growing fast. The SEC's expanding work on AI disclosure, cybersecurity, and climate risk; new AI legislation moving through Congress; the White House AI Framework and its preemption proposals; Treasury and FSOC's AI Innovation Series; an active McCarran-Ferguson Restoration Act fight over the future of the Federal Insurance Office. Corgi sits at the center of all of it— an AI-powered carrier whose ability to operate depends on how Washington resolves these debates. We need someone who can be in the room when the rules get written. What You'll Do You will be Corgi's voice in Washington and the senior owner of our federal strategy. The top priority is leading our engagement with the Securities and Exchange Commission across AI disclosure, cybersecurity, climate risk, and (as Corgi grows) the capital markets posture of an AI-powered carrier. Around that, you'll own the broader federal AI and insurance landscape: Congress, Treasury, FIO, FSOC, and the trade associations where federal policy actually gets made. Be Corgi's primary point of contact with the SEC. Build, deepen, and exercise relationships across SEC leadership and staff on the issues most relevant to Corgi. Own our Congressional strategy — especially House Financial Services and Senate Banking, the tax committees, and the committees driving AI legislation. Know the members and senior staff before we need them. Stand up and steward Corgi's federal PAC , including strategy, governance, and compliance, in partnership with counsel. Engage directly with Treasury, FIO, and FSOC on AI-in-insurance issues— FIO roundtables, the FSOC AI Innovation Series, and the Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance. Be Corgi's substantive voice in the federal AI policy debate , covering federal AI legislation, the White House AI Framework, and the preemption fights between federal AI standards and state insurance authority. Lead our trade association engagement— APCIA, NAMIC, and emerging AI/tech groups, using these venues to amplify Corgi's positions where individual lobbying can't reach. Track and shape federal regulatory action affecting insurance: FTC on AI and algorithmic discrimination, CFPB on consumer financial data, and any agency expanding into insurance-adjacent space. Write and own Corgi's federal policy positions: comment letters, talking points and briefing materials for executives heading to the Hill, and testimony when called. Serve as a registered federal lobbyist and own our Lobbying Disclosure Act compliance. Be Corgi's early-warning system— pick up signals from SEC staff, the Hill, agency leadership, and trade groups, and bring intelligence home in time to shape outcomes. What We're Looking For Extensive existing relationships at the SEC: We want someone who already has gained the trust and respect at the Commission and has worked with senior staff and been known as a valuable and trusted voice, and can lead Corgi's SEC engagement from day one. Genuine fluency in both AI policy and insurance regulation. Hill staff experience on financial services or AI committees, time at SEC / Treasury / FIO / FTC / CFPB, or insurance trade association experience are particularly relevant. 8+ years of federal government affairs, policy, or regulatory experience— SEC, Hill, executive branch, agency, trade association, or in-house. Track record of substantive policy work—comment letters, testimony, position papers, coalition-building— that influenced outcomes. Working knowledge of the federal insurance landscape: McCarran-Ferguson, Dodd-Frank Title V, FIO authority, NAIC model laws, and how the state-federal balance actually works. Strong policy writing chops. Strong judgment and excellent communication; comfortable sitting across from an SEC staffer one day and Corgi's CEO the next. Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change; the federal AI agenda is moving fast and Corgi's playbook is still being written. Based in or willing to be in Washington, DC frequently. This role lives where federal policy happens. A law degree is a plus, but not required. We care about your relationships, judgment, and policy chops - not the letters after your name. (Candidates with a J.D. may be eligible for an additional Associate General Counsel designation.) Why You Should Join Founder Mentality: We value extreme ownership and want people who think like founders—fast decision makers, natural problem solvers, and executers. Ground Floor Opportunity: You'll be helping to shape and grow a revolutionary company with the resources to back it. Real Seniority: A true VP seat with a direct line to legal and executive leadership— you own the federal function, full stop. Impact & Speed: Work in a fast-paced environment where your contributions will have immediate, tangible effects on the company's success. #J-18808-Ljbffr
