About CorgiCorgi 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 to do so. YC S24.
The RoleWe are looking for a VP of Operations to build and lead the systems that make Corgi run. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys creating order from complexity, scaling processes, and driving execution across a fast-moving business.
