Commercial Insurance Risk & Pricing Manager

About SafeLease

SafeLease builds and sells insurance products for commercial property owners. Our reinsurance and asset management businesses insure over 4,000 properties, 500,000 tenants, and have over $1B of AUM. Our team of technologists, agents, and underwriters simplifies complex risks to intelligently allocate capital and deliver policies quickly and affordably.

We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services to other industries. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper. To do that, we’ve brought the entire insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, and reinsurance—under one roof to drive innovation in an industry that’s ripe for change.
