Vice President, Field Underwriting

Pie's mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance.

Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make.

The VP, Field Underwriting owns Pie's underwriting P&L and the execution engine behind it. Reporting to the Chief Underwriting Officer and operating as a member of the executive team and peer to the VP of Insurance Product and Pricing, this leader is accountable for portfolio results, team performance, and the operating model that delivers them. The VP shapes company priorities alongside functional accountability — that means making enterprise-first calls when function and enterprise are in tension. They define how Field UW operates for the next several years: who it hires, how the onshore/offshore model evolves, what the AI-enabled underwriting function looks like at scale, and what underwriting excellence means for Pie's customers. This role partners closely with Corporate Underwriting on the automation roadmap, providing the field execution perspective that drives what gets built next. Someone who has managed a steady-state function will not thrive here. Someone who has built and restructured will.
