Role summary

Corgi, an AI-driven insurance carrier, seeks a Head of Cafe Expansion to lead nationwide and global growth for its cafe locations. This role requires strong financial acumen, experience in QSR or cafe operations, and a founder-level ownership mentality. You will be responsible for opening new locations, developing expansion strategies, and building scalable systems and processes. The ideal candidate has startup or founder experience, thrives in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments, and is ready to join the senior leadership team of a rapidly growing company.

At **Corgi**, we're building the first fully automated insurance carrier. Our goal is to rebuild the $1T+ insurance industry from the ground up using AI. We're not just building a company; we're building infrastructure for the next hundred years. If you’ve built things from scratch and know what it means to move fast and own outcomes, we want you on the team.

We’re well-funded and backed by top investors, providing the resources you wish you had when building your own business. We don’t care about traditional roles or titles (just that you’re smart, proactive, and bring the same founder-level ownership and drive to help us build something massive).

### **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.
