Technical Project Manager (Infrastructure)

<p>Ledgebrook is an InsurTech MGA on a mission to bring Specialty insurance into the modern era.

To get there, Ledgebrook builds its premium base by rolling out a new Specialty product every ~6 months until we prove enough traction to raise a balance sheet, become a full stack carrier and eventually compete in the reinsurance markets. Our initial product is a domestic primary and excess GL E&S policies sourced via wholesale brokers.</p><p><br></p><p>At Ledgebrook, everything we do is driven by our culture: Care, Strive, Thrive Together.
