Vice President – Insurance Programs

Remote (U.S. based, excluding CA & NY)
$170,0000 to $300,000
About the role:
One of the nation’s largest insurance brokers, is building something new — a world-class Programs Division — and we're looking for a trailblazer to lead it. This is not your typical VP role. This is a greenfield opportunity to design, launch, and scale exclusive insurance programs built on this organization’s strong premium volume, a $300M captive platform, in-house TPA, and best-in-class safety services. You might be a #2 at a successful MGA ready for your own shot. Or a seasoned carrier executive eager to flex your entrepreneurial muscle. If you know how to create, scale, and lead insurance programs — and want to do it with the backing of a strong platform — we want to talk! Build from Scratch: Shape a legacy. Design the program business your way — with full leadership support.
Duties and responsibilities:
Build the Blueprint: Design the framework for a full-fledged Programs division, from fronting carrier relationships to reinsurance and underwriting strategy. Launch Exclusive Programs: Create and negotiate niche, proprietary programs across P&C lines — including workers’ comp, auto, GL, and property. Lead from the Front: You’ll roll up your sleeves early on and build the foundation — before scaling a high-performing underwriting and support team. Shape the Appetite: Guide risk selection strategy and recommend new program verticals. Transportation experience highly desired. Drive Profitability: Own P&L results and deliver stable, competitive, and profitable programs.
Experience:
10+ years in commercial P&C insurance, with hands-on experience in program development, MGA/MGU leadership, or captive operations. Track record of running a profitable book of business or P&L in a carrier, MGA, or program administrator. Strong fronting carrier and reinsurance relationships. Ability to identify market opportunities, create solutions, and negotiate program deals. Depth in both property and casualty lines; comfort with complex risks and alternative market structures. Familiarity with transportation, work comp, GL, and property programs. Passion and a genuine entrepreneurial drive to build.
Compensation:
Competitive salary, benefits, eligible for equity stake
