Head of Cafe Expansion

Corgi is vertically integrating the entire insurance industry. We design, underwrite, price, and issue insurance directly. Insurance is the largest unautomated industry in financial services, and we're rebuilding it from the ground up using AI. We've raised $374M from Kindred, TCV, and others to do so.

Building something great requires working hard. We are in the office 6-7 days a week. We are meritocratic with very high standards. If you don't meet them, you'll get cut. But if you deliver, you have unlimited scope to grow.

We move quickly, care deeply about talent density, and hire people who want to solve difficult problems with unusually high ownership.

Responsibilities

• Required experience scaling 3+ cafe openings nationwide.
• Strong financial acumen. Understands P&Ls, margins, unit economics.
• Experience leading teams to run and operate a cafe/brick-and-mortar storefront.
• Open new cafe locations and drive expansion strategy globally.
• Build systems/processes for global scale.
• You have startup and/or founder experience.

What we’re looking for

• Background in fast-growing QSR, cafe brands or venture-backed companies.
• Strong leadership running cafe operations.
• Proven analytical understanding of business economics to run, operate and scale cafes.
• You enjoy fast-paced, high-autonomy startup environments.
• You thrive in chaos and ambiguity (build the plane while flying).
• You want to join the senior leadership team at a fast-growing startup.

Why you should join

• Founder Mentality: We value extreme ownership. Think like a founder, not an employee.
• Ground Floor: Help build a $100B+ company from day one with real resources behind you.
• Speed & Impact: See your work make a difference now (not later).

Expectations

• In person San Francisco
• Travel required to open cafes in our offices globally

Compensation

• Base: $140k-$220k
• Equity: 0.01% - 0.10%

What You'll Walk Away With

This is a rare chance to get in early, learn scaling cafe operations at a high level, and be surrounded by people who are all in. You’ll leave this role sharper, tougher, and 10x more valuable — no matter what you do next.
