About The Position

Steadily is an insurance technology company that specializes in rental property insurance for landlords. We’re four years old, just over 160 people, manage $20B in risk, and are intent on becoming the world’s best and largest insurer of rental properties. We exist to deliver fast, affordable insurance and to pay claims quickly and fairly. To do that, we hire the best engineers, actuaries, sales, and service people in the country to build the experience that we’d want if we were the client. Steadily is hiring a Head of Reinsurance and Capacity who will be responsible for laying the runway for us to continue to scale while also managing existing capacity relationships. If you thrive on complexity and lofty goals, this is the role for you. This is an opportunity to bend the growth curve of your career. You will get exposure that could take decades at more established companies. Since we only hire the best, if selected, you'll get to work alongside other team members who are as sharp as you are which will just serve to make you even sharper.

Requirements

At least 10 years of experience in reinsurance either as an reinsurance underwriter, a reinsurance broker, or managing reinsurance for a carrier/MGA.
A lengthy rolodex of industry contacts.
Knowledgeable about property insurance, forecasting, catastrophe modeling, reinsurance terms and structures.
Self-Driven: You thrive under intense pressure and can manage a large workload and projects with minimal oversight. There is no task too small or beneath you; “that’s not my job” is not in your mantra. You are resourceful and will run through walls to get stuff done.
Communication: This role will require a significant amount of communication inside and outside of the organization. In many environments you will be the face of the company. You are an outstanding communicator and accustomed to working with senior executives.
Insurance: Extensive knowledge of the reinsurance and capacity ecosystem. You are familiar with catastrophe models for peak perils. Your knowledge allows you to seamlessly communicate with reinsurance underwriters, accountants, claims, underwriting, finance, etc.
Project Management: You have above average project management skills. You’re great at moving the ball forward on multiple projects simultaneously. You know how to get a deal across the finish line at financially favorable terms.
Hungry: You want to make the leap into an earlier-stage tech company to rapidly accelerate your growth. You want to roll up your sleeves and hustle – you are not looking for a traditional 9-5 job.
