Statutory Accountant

About SafeLease

At SafeLease, we’re rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry’s biggest inefficiencies aren’t technical problems — they’re structural ones. And we’re building the team to tackle them.

SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.

We’re a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we’ve done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you’ll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person’s work is visible. If you’re looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you’ll fit right in.
