About this role
About Corgi
Corgi is vertically integrating the entire insurance industry. We design, underwrite, price, and issue insurance directly. Insurance is the largest unautomated industry in financial services, and we're rebuilding it from the ground up using AI. We've raised $374M from Kindred, TCV, and others to do so.
Building something great requires working hard. We are in the office 6-7 days a week. We are meritocratic with very high standards. If you don't meet them, you'll get cut. But if you deliver, you have unlimited scope to grow.
We move quickly, care deeply about talent density, and hire people who want to solve difficult problems with unusually high ownership.
About the role
We've raised over $108M to build insurance from the ground up. Now we're building the team that builds the team.
This is our first dedicated People hire. You'll own everything from how we find talent to how we retain it. Think recruiting, people ops, culture, comp, and everything in between. This isn't a "post jobs and review inbound" seat. We need someone who moves fast, builds from scratch, and has a hunter mentality.
What you'll do
Own full-cycle recruiting across all functions: sourcing, closing, and everything in between
Stand up repeatable hiring playbooks by role and team
Build and run core people ops: HRIS, payroll, onboarding, compliance
Design comp frameworks, leveling, and performance processes as we scale
Shape culture intentionally… not with perks, but with systems and standards
Partner directly with leadership on headcount planning and org design
What we're looking for
3+ years of experience building a people function from scratch at a high-growth startup
Strong sourcing chops, going beyond LinkedIn and close competitive candidates creatively
Hands-on with modern recruiting tools and ATS platforms (we currently use Ashby)
Equally comfortable in the weeds of people ops and thinking strategically about org health
High ownership and scrappy – you build the plane while flying it!
Bonus
Experience hiring enterprise or technical talent
Background in tech or SaaS sales
Familiarity with insurance or financial services
Why join
Get in early at a company that's already won with $108M raise
Direct line to leadership and real influence over how we grow
You're not inheriting someone else's playbook — you're writing it
