Director of Reinsurance and Capacity

About the role

Steadily is an insurance technology company specializing 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. This role will lay the runway for us to continue to scale while managing existing capacity relationships. If you thrive on complexity and lofty goals, this is an opportunity to bend the growth curve of your career with exposure that could take decades at more established companies. You’ll work alongside other sharp team members who will challenge and elevate you.

Responsibilities

• Secure new capacity at favorable terms to enable the company to continue to scale rapidly while producing excellent loss ratios for our partners.
• Successfully lead the renewal of numerous reinsurance programs and capacity contracts.
• Manage the day-to-day interactions and relationships with capacity partners such as reinsurance brokers, fronting carriers, carriers, reinsurers, auditors, etc.
• Lead the development of a partner portal to provide a best-in-class partnership experience.
• Work closely with underwriting, claims, product, actuarial, and finance to ensure profitability and an overall excellent experience for customers.
• Assume responsibility for enterprise projects to enhance understanding of how the company operates and drive results.

This position reports directly to the Chief Insurance Officer and requires approximately 15% travel.

Requirements

• At least 10 years of experience in reinsurance as an underwriter, 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: thrive under intense pressure, manage a large workload with minimal oversight, and are resourceful in getting tasks done.
• Outstanding communicator, accustomed to working with senior executives and representing the company externally.
• Extensive knowledge of the reinsurance and capacity ecosystem, including catastrophe models for peak perils.
• Above-average project management skills; able to move multiple projects forward simultaneously and close deals at financially favorable terms.
• Hungry to join an earlier-stage tech company, roll up your sleeves, and hustle—this is not a traditional 9-5 role.

Nice to have: ARe and/or CPA designations.

Benefits

• 3 weeks PTO + six federal holidays + 15 days work from home annually.
