150000 –250000 USD / yearWorldwideHeadpricingunderwritingrisk managementai
Lead and manage the sports insurance underwriting portfolio including pricing, appetite, policy design, and risk selection using an AI-native stack.
Responsibilities
- We're looking for a Head of Sports Underwriting to own our sports book – pricing, appetite, wordings, and referrals. 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&C, like general liability, participant liability, D&O, and abuse & misconduct, plus some smaller contingency and A&H lines. We write it for national governing bodies (NGBs), professional teams, and events, and we want to grow it substantially from here.
- 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.
- Own risk selection, pricing, and appetite across NGBs, professional teams, and events.
- Shape policy design and wording, not just the rate.
- Codify your judgment into rating models, appetite rules, and referral logic.
- Review referrals and complex risks, and feed every decision back into the system.
- Build and lead the sports underwriting team from the ground up as the book scales.
Requirements
- 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.
- Strong P&C fundamentals across liability lines.
- Fluency in sports exposure: sanctioned events, club and NGB structures.
- Well-rounded: credible on pricing, wordings, appetite, and risk selection.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
Nice to have
- Contingency or A&H exposure alongside your P&C book.
- Experience building rating plans, appetite frameworks, or underwriting guidelines from scratch.
- Experience hiring and leading underwriters.
Other
- Location: London, UK or Remote (US)
- Compensation: $150,000–$250,000 (US) or £100,000–£200,000 (UK), total compensation including equity
- Corgi is a full-stack insurance carrier building better, faster insurance products from the ground up. 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. YC S24.
- Take an early-stage book to scale and own the team behind it.
- Underwrite on our own paper – no fronting carrier's appetite to work around.
- Build the models and rules that underwrite every sports risk we write.
- Work with us directly, not through layers of management.
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
