Head of Property Insurance

Who we are looking for:

We are expanding our insurance offerings in 2021 and looking for an entrepreneurial and critical thinker with direct experience in the insurance markets who can lead the development and growth of our new Renewable Energy Property Insurance division. This is a multi-faceted role: One day you might be evaluating product expansion opportunities, the next determining how to scale operations for an MGA, and then round out the week by building a new process to measure KPIs. A successful candidate in this role can work independently to develop a decision-making framework, gather supporting evidence for their position, and clearly and concisely make recommendations and build consensus.

What you can look forward to:

  • Working with the CEO and COO to expand growth as an MGA into a new product line.

  • Owning your work, from strategic inception to successful execution, in a low-bureaucracy environment.

  • Cross-functional interactions with senior management, business development, product, and engineering.

  • Market-facing exposure, to help set up a brand new line of business

  • Collaborating with a team of experienced solar veterans committed to helping you succeed.

  • Solving a critical problem--the cost of capital--that has hindered the solar industry since its inception.

What you likely need to do the job well:

  • Critical thinker: You have frameworks you use to approach problems, can quickly synthesize large volumes of (often conflicting) information, and develop a business thesis. You can clearly present your proposal with supporting data. You might have been a management consultant, business analyst, or project finance associate.

  • Operational Capability: We are a startup and need people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and do the work to build the operational framework necessary for success.

  • Self-starter: You can independently lead and manage projects. You know when to ask for help but also trust your analytical frameworks.

  • Insurance experience:: You’re familiar with the ins and outs of insurance, having worked at an insurer, reinsurer, broker, MGA, or other similar company. You know how these companies work together and the ins and outs of the industry. Property & Casualty, renewable energy, or natural catastrophe experience a plus.

  • Infrastructure experience: You are conversant in the dynamics of energy, power, real estate, natcat, or infrastructure. Bonus if you know the renewable energy industry.

  • A thinker and a doer: You can hold multiple stakeholders’ perspectives in your head, devise a solution, and then rapidly build consensus around that solution.
