Head of Legal

At Corgi, we're building the first fully automated insurance carrier.

Our goal is to rebuild the $1T+ insurance industry from the ground up using AI. We're not just building a company; we're building infrastructure for the next hundred years. If you’ve built things from scratch and know what it means to move fast and own outcomes, we want you on the team.

We’re well-funded and backed by top investors, providing the resources you wish you had when building your own business. We don’t care about traditional roles or titles - just that you’re smart, proactive, and bring the same founder-level ownership and drive to help us build something massive.

As we scale, legal rigor and strategic foresight are mission-critical. If you have a strong track record in corporate law, deep comfort with complexity, and want to help build something foundational, we’d love to talk to you.
