The posting

About Testudo

Testudo is a Lloyd's of London Coverholder building the risk infrastructure to insure the AI economy. We write generative AI liability insurance with the backing of four Lloyd's syndicates, alongside the real-time risk monitoring technology behind it, so that companies can deploy AI and agents confidently.

We are a strong team operating across New York and London. This role is in New York.

Our mission: to insure the AI economy.

About the Role

As Head of US Distribution at Testudo, you'll own our distribution strategy and producer relationships from zero to one — building the pipelines through which an entirely new category of risk reaches the market.

We offer a zero-politics, high-trust environment (we hate bureaucracy). You'll have end-to-end ownership of the strategy, direct access to producers, and the mandate to move fast.

Representative projects

  • Developing the distribution and go-to-market strategy from zero to one for our generative AI liability policy, and the products that follow it, across US wholesale and retail producers.
  • Sourcing, converting, and growing producer relationships to drive GWP growth and market reach.
  • Working as the bridge between producers and our engineering and underwriting teams to improve distribution velocity.
  • Building producer tools with our founders and engineers that let brokers lead the generative AI risk conversation themselves.
  • Creating producer education materials with our general counsel for a risk category nobody has sold before.
  • Establishing the analytics frameworks that show which producers are actually performing.
  • Building a distribution team as the portfolio grows.

You may be a good fit if you

  • Have a deep network of decision makers at wholesale and retail producers across all major US insurance hubs.
  • Maintain the required US P&C and surplus lines licensure.
  • Have a proven track record of building distribution pipelines for specialist MGAs or Lloyd's Coverholders, for niche P&C products sold on an excess and surplus lines basis.
  • Are genuinely interested in a new category of AI risk.
  • Enjoy working with engineers to make our beloved producers' experience feel effortless.
  • Enjoy meeting producers face-to-face across the United States. Which means you probably also like flying.

You may not be a good fit if you

  • Need an established brand behind you. Nobody has heard of this product yet, and every first conversation is an education.
  • Want to inherit a book. There is no pipeline here to take over, which is the job.
  • Measure the work in meetings booked rather than GWP bound.
  • Would rather pass a product objection back to underwriting than answer it in the room.
  • Prefer remote or hybrid. We are in the office five days a week when you are not traveling.

Compensation & Location

  • $150,000 - $250,000 base, plus commission and equity. Tell us what motivates you.
  • We run a single band across every role at this level. We would rather pay the same for different kinds of hard problem than pretend we can rank them.
  • New York. In-office five days a week when you are not traveling.
  • Health insurance. Relocation support and a signing bonus for exceptional talent, agreed at offer.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
