Director of Transportation Insurance
At Triumph, we're building something different-modern financial and technology solutions purpose-built for the transportation industry. We're looking for a Director of Transportation Insurance to lead and scale a critical growth area of our business.
This is a rare opportunity to stand up and lead a specialized insurance division, including the launch of a purpose-built Managing General Agent (MGA), designed to serve both large fleets and the underserved small fleet trucking market.

Set the Vision & Strategy
You'll define and execute the long-term strategy for Triumph's Transportation Insurance division-identifying new markets, products, and partnerships while positioning Triumph as a leader in transportation risk.
Build and Scale the Business
From underwriting to claims to operations, you'll oversee the full insurance lifecycle. You'll establish KPIs, drive operational excellence, and own the financial performance of the business, including P&L, forecasting, and cost management.
Launch and Lead an MGA
You'll lead the development and launch of a modern MGA-leveraging delegated authority, specialized underwriting expertise, and streamlined infrastructure to deliver faster, smarter insurance solutions.
Lead Sales & Market Expansion
You'll guide and develop a dedicated sales team, ensuring strong pipeline development and alignment with broader company priorities. You'll also help expand distribution through multiple channels and partnerships.
Own Risk, Compliance & Governance
You'll ensure adherence to all regulatory requirements, including transportation-specific regulations like Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You'll establish strong controls, manage risk, and serve as a key liaison to regulators, reinsurers, auditors, and executive leadership.
Engage Clients & the Industry
You'll build relationships with brokers, agents, carriers, and clients while representing Triumph at key industry events. Your insights will directly shape product development and go-to-market strategies.
Develop High-Performing Teams
You'll lead a cross-functional organization spanning underwriting, claims, operations, compliance, and sales-fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
What You Bring
10+ years of experience in commercial insurance, including 5+ years in senior leadership
Deep expertise in transportation insurance (trucking liability, cargo, logistics)
Proven experience owning and managing a P&L
Track record of leading cross-functional teams across underwriting, claims, operations, and sales
Strong knowledge of regulatory frameworks, including Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and state insurance laws
Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred
