About the Company

MGT is the first AI-driven, neo-insurer focused on evolving commercial P&C insurance for the brokers and small business owners. By combining the expertise of industry veterans with state-of-the-art technology, we are ushering in the next evolution of commercial insurance and working to move the industry forward through the use of modern technology, better processes, and a rock-star team. We seek visionary leaders who thrive in dynamic, entrepreneurial settings, and excel in autonomous roles.

We are looking for experienced leaders who are comfortable operating independently and in an entrepreneurial environment.



About the Role

MGT Insurance is looking for an entrepreneurial E&S Underwriter to help shape the next chapter of our company. This is not a plug-and-play underwriting role - it’s an opportunity to be part of a small, highly empowered team building a modern E&S platform in one of the fastest-growing segments of the insurance market. As an Underwriter at MGT, you’ll have real ownership. You’ll manage a portfolio, assess and price risk, recognize exposures, structure thoughtful coverage solutions, and partner closely with our broker partners to grow profitable, sustainable business. Your decisions matter, and you’ll be accountable for outcomes. We’re looking for someone who enjoys problem-solving, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and has a strong bias for action. The work is challenging - and intentionally so - but also deeply rewarding. If you’re excited by the idea of building, believe the industry can be better, and have felt frustrated by the slow pace of change, we’d love to talk.



Responsibilities

  • Manage a portfolio
  • Assess and price risk
  • Recognize exposures
  • Structure thoughtful coverage solutions
  • Partner closely with our broker partners to grow profitable, sustainable business


Qualifications

  • Experience: 3 years underwriting E&S (excess & surplus) commercial insurance. Candidates with 3 years brokering E&S commercial insurance will be considered, if technical risk analysis skills are strong.


Required Skills

  • Embrace the idea of adapting to new technology and systems, early adopter mentality.
  • Proven ability to partner with other key roles - including product management and technology.
  • Builder’s mentality - has a strong bias for action, and embraces the idea that no two days are similar when building and scaling an AI-driven insurer.


Preferred Skills

  • Experience working at an early stage insurtech company
  • Past entrepreneurial experiences, whether insurance related or not


Pay range and compensation package

Estimated Salary: $60,000 - $120,000 per year



Equal Opportunity Statement

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company and industry. We strive to attract and elevate a diverse team of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
